History
In July 2005, the Northeast Ohio Medical University submitted its proposal to the Regents Advisory Committee on Graduate Study of the Ohio Department of Higher Education seeking approval to establish a College of Pharmacy -- the only program in eastern Ohio. The idea for a College of Pharmacy arose from community and partner feedback to help address the shortage of pharmacists and the lack of pharmacy education in Northeast Ohio.
On Nov. 10, 2005, the Ohio Department of Higher Education approved the establishment of the Doctor of Pharmacy degree program. The NEOMED Board of Trustees ratified the appointment of the founding dean and officially approved the College of Pharmacy at their board meeting on Dec. 16, 2005. The College formally inaugurated its program on Aug. 27, 2007, with the induction of its first class of pharmacy students.
Mission Statement
Northeast Ohio Medical University College of Pharmacy develops indispensable leaders who utilize a collaborative approach to advance the profession of pharmacy through exceptional patient-centered care, research, and service.
