Research
| Primary Goal |
A primary goal of the UIC Department of Pharmacy Systems Outcomes and Policy (PSOP) is to conduct research that is both innovative and that will have an impact on society. Research conducted by faculty and students may be theoretical or applied and is often interdisciplinary in nature, requiring collaboration across the health sciences and other fields. This research is facilitated by strong partnerships with local, national, and international companies, with government agencies, managed care organizations, pharmaceutical manufacturers, health provider organizations, professional associations, and with other national and international university-based researchers. |
