The Division of Social and Administrative Sciences in Pharmacy investigates the "people" aspect of pharmacy and medication use. Our focus is on the scientific and humanistic bases for understanding and influencing interactions involving patients, medicines, caregivers, and health care systems. In our teaching and research endeavors, we integrate knowledge of pharmacy and pharmaceuticals with knowledge from economics, history sociology, psychology, management sciences, communication, education, epidemiology, law, and ethics. Our group and interests are varied and diverse.
Faculty in the SAS division also play key roles within the Sonderegger Research Center and the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy.
