Step inside a lab. Sit in on a lecture. Come around on a round. MUSC pharmacy faculty and staff find inspiring ways to reach students, help patients, and push the limits of discovery. The MUSC College of Pharmacy celebrates Week Three of its American Pharmacists Month “We are MUSC Pharmacy” campaign with a closer look at some of the faculty and staff who create the MUSC pharmacy experience.
