Touro University California College of Pharmacy

Educating caring professionals to serve, to lead, to teach

Touro’s College of Pharmacy has a unique curricular approach: student centered, technologically advanced and interactive. Our rigorous curriculum emphasizes pharmaceutical care, pharmacy systems management & public health implications.

Welcome to Touro University California, College of Pharmacy 

It is my pleasure to serve as the Interim Dean for the College of Pharmacy.  I have been a member of the administrative team since the College of Pharmacy was established in 2005.  As a pharmacist for over 40 years, I am extremely excited to share my passion and enthusiasm for the profession of pharmacy.  It is an exciting time to explorer the health professional field as a future career.

Our program is known for its innovative 2+2 format where the students receive 2 years of foundational knowledge and 2 years of rotations which is more than any pharmacy school in the nation.  The 2 years of rotations will include experiences in community, hospital, ambulatory care and a large cadre of other type of practice sites such as long term care, compounding, oncology, academia, research, informatics, managed care, to name a few.  The rotations will afford the student the opportunity to apply the learned clinical foundation to real life practice. The extra rotations will give the student additional quality time to hone their skills with the ultimate outcome of developing into a mature and experienced future healthcare provider with a valuable network of colleagues and mentors.

The College of Pharmacy at Touro also has training programs for PharmD residents and fellows, with additional opportunities to earn a dual PharmD/MPH.  All of these training opportunities enable our students to gain credentials that make them competitive for positions in a variety of employment settings.

At the heart of our school is our tremendous students.   Our students are a diverse group of highly motivated individuals dedicated to becoming leaders in health care.   The dedication of our students is matched by the faculty whose commitment to the success of each student is driven by our mission to serve, to lead, and to teach.

Our commitment holds steadfast.  We have a lot to offer and we hope you will take the time to review our unique program. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.   We are extremely excited to have you join our family in the near future.

Sincerely,

Debbie Sasaki-Hill, PharmD
