Over the past two decades, faculty in the Medical Pharmacology Program have served as research advisors and mentors to many of the 190 Ph.D. and 250 M.S. graduates of the former Interdisciplinary Program in Pharmacology and Toxicology. We boast a diverse student population that has equal representation of both gender, and is made up of individuals who come from all walks of life, from all parts of the United States and from many countries.

Our students’ credentials include undergraduate degrees in a variety of science and non-science majors from large universities and colleges to smaller institutions, or prior work experience relevant to pharmacology or related disciplines, or advanced degrees in other disciplines. Our Ph.D. students graduate, on average, after less than 5 years of training under the program, and go on to highly competitive postgraduate positions in universities, industry or government agencies. Our alumni are represented in upper management, directors of research in large and small pharmaceutical companies, professorships in academic institutions, as well as in other positions in medicine, law or pharmacy.
