Duquesne - Pittsburgh Connection

The Center for Integrative Health at Â鶹ֱ²¥ partnered with the existing resources in neighborhoods and has supported organizations so that we could overcome the barriers that were also identified. It starts with the community. They're the foundation. I think that what's so special about what we've built, is that we work with communities to identify needs and to promote health equity.

Engagement in professional pharmacy organizations provides students with the opportunity to hone their leadership and practice skills, provide service to the community, gain access to the rich array of resources that the parent organization can provide, participate in conferences at the national and state level, and most importantly, network with students and practitioners across the country. Networking alone provides students with a benefit beyond measure.
