“I am excited to inspire and make connections with the future of the pharmacy profession during this innovative experience here in the Panhandle,” Haase said. “We hope opportunities like this will help expand the footprint of pharmacy practice, education, research and service in our region.”
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects growth for pharmacists between 2022 and 2032 to be at about 3 percent. About 13,400 openings for pharmacists are projected each year, on average, over the decade.
“Pharmacists do so much more than just filling prescriptions,” Haase said. “As medication experts, they educate patients and promote wellness. They also collaborate with physicians and other health professionals across various settings to ensure that medications are optimized to achieve the best possible health outcomes. As the health care landscape evolves, pharmacists are poised to grow their impact in communities across the country.”
The TTUHSC Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy aims to train future health care leaders in pharmacy and research. The school is the only TTUHSC school headquartered on the TTUHSC campus in Amarillo.
