History

Temple University School of Pharmacy was founded in 1901, initially as a two-year program sharing classes with the Medical School. First classes were held in 1901 at College Hall, but moved to Eighteenth and Buttonwood Campus (adjacent to the present Community College of Philadelphia) in 1907. The pharmacy school stayed in this building until 1947. In 1907, School of Pharmacy separated from the Medical School and Dr. John R. Minehart was appointed as the first Dean of Pharmacy, serving until 1932. Dean Minehart oversaw the expansion of School of Pharmacy to a three year course and its accreditation by American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy in 1928.

Harvey Evert Kendig succeeded Dean Minehart and oversaw the moving of the School of Pharmacy to a new campus located at 3223 N Broad Street in 1947 which is the current location of Temple University School of Dentistry. [2] Under Dean Kendig, the School of Pharmacy curriculum saw the expansion to a coursework of four years. Joseph B. Sprowles became the Dean of Pharmacy in 1950, serving until 1967. A Master of Science program was established in 1968 in Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs (QA/RA) to serve the needs of professionals in pharmaceutical industry under his guidance.

In 1974, School of Pharmacy moved to its current location at 3307 N Broad Street with the help of funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Temple University and federal grants. Peter H. Doukas has been serving the School of Pharmacy since 1990. Under his leadership, the Master's program in QA/RA was moved to the Fort Washington Campus in order to accommodate the increased number of pharmaceutical companies located in the Greater Philadelphia Area. [3]

On November 1, 2019, School of Pharmacy saw a change in leadership as Dean Doukas stepped down and was succeeded by Jayanth Panyam. [4]

A Bachelor of Pharmacy is a graduate academic degree in the field of pharmacy. In many countries, this degree is a prerequisite for registration to practice as a pharmacist. Since both PharmB and PharmD are prerequisites to license in most western countries they're considered equivalent. In many western countries, the foreign graduates with BPharm, PharmB or BS Pharm practice similarly as PharmD graduates. It is analogous to MBBS vs. MD where MBBS is foreign equivalent of MD.
