Message from the Dean
The School of Pharmacy at LAU provides an educational experience that is unparalleled in the Middle East. Our talented and experienced faculty deliver to our diverse body of students a challenging, clinical and pharmaceutical sciences, curriculum and offer a dynamic academic culture well suited for an excellent professional pharmacy program.
Our six-year Pharm.D. program is the only ACPE-accredited program outside the United States. In addition to carefully selected basic science and clinical courses, students in this competitive program acquire diverse professional-practice experiences in community, hospital pharmacy, ambulatory care, and acute care settings.
Pharm.D. students are offered four pharmacy Advanced Practice Experiences (rotations) in one of the U.S. sites that LAU has entered into agreements with. This year, 24 students will complete their rotation at Saint Michael’s Medical Center (Newark, New Jersey) and New York Methodist Hospital (Brooklyn, New York).
LAU’s Pharm.D. graduates are eligible to sit for the North American Pharmacy Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) in the United States. Passing this exam entitles our alumni to become licensed pharmacists in the United States.
Our students leave our school well prepared for regional and international careers. Their experiences at LAU provide them with the necessary qualification to pursue advanced degrees if they wish, pursue rewarding careers, and excel in their professions. We are proud of the School of Pharmacy, and equally proud of our graduates and their achievements.
We are always aware of the challenges facing tomorrow’s health care professionals, and remain fully committed to our goal of achieving and sustaining the highest quality of pharmacy education in the region. We invite you to learn more about our School and we ask interested students to become more familiar with our educational program, faculty, and admission process.
Sincerely,
Pierre Zalloua, PhD
Interim Dean
