Office of Organizational Engagement & Excellence

We live in a complex world and practice in a field that touches – and is touched by – everyone. The population of South Carolina includes people from all kinds of backgrounds and walks of life: different communities, identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, cultures, and beliefs. We believe it is important for our MUSC pharmacy family to mirror that population. In addition, we believe the MUSC pharmacy experience needs to include outreach to every part of South Carolina’s socioeconomic spectrum.

We create an environment of organizational excellence by recruiting, serving, and graduating people from all backgrounds. For example:

• We reach out to prospective students through our Student Mentors for Future Pharmacists program, which educates prospective students about the possibilities of a pharmacy career
• Our experiential education program gives current students clinical opportunities to work with many populations, and our students are volunteer leaders with the CARES Clinic, a nonprofit, student-run organization that provides free medical care to uninsured residents of South Carolina.
• Our graduates can be found in pharmacies and health-systems in every kind of community throughout the state, across the country, and around the world. The college is committed to helping MUSC pharmacy alumni both reflect and relate to their patients.
