Filling the gaps in Primary care

With the ever-evolving state of health care, the role of pharmacists has expanded beyond the pharmacy counter to ensure that patients receive the most comprehensive care possible. Aggie pharmacists serve patients in community-based settings by administering immunizations, providing information on over-the-counter drugs and teaching about the importance of adhering to medication prescriptions.

" "The thing that influenced me the most to attend the Texas A&M Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy was the mission: To build pharmacists for underserved areas, like the Rio Grande Valley, where I’m from. The program and its mission had my heart from the beginning and the college provides me with many opportunities to give back to the community that I love.”

A Spirit of Selfless Service

Our students are the driving force behind the school's culture of community involvement. Multiple highly active student organizations put their training into action through community outreach, health education and screenings and community service with local nonprofits. Students develop leadership, communication and interprofessional skills while working to support each other and the community.
