“Giving our students a global experience is a passion of mine,” said pharmacy professor, now interim dean, Dhiren Thakker. “It is my hope that their experience in the GPS program will be transformative, opening their hearts to the health-care challenges of people who are less fortunate and their minds to learning from the rich diversity of people and cultures around the globe.”
