Welcome to the Division of Pharmacology and Toxicology in the School of Pharmacy.

Our Vision
The UMKC School of Pharmacy will be a globally respected learning community, which creates higher standards in education, practice, and research to improve health and quality of life.

Our Mission

Our History
Originally organized in 1885 as the Pharmaceutical Department of the University of Kansas City, the school was reorganized and reincorporated in 1898 as the Kansas City College of Pharmacy and Natural Science. In 1943, this forerunner of the present school joined the University of Kansas City as its third professional school. When the University of Kansas City was incorporated into the University of Missouri System in 1963, the School of Pharmacy became the only state-supported pharmacy school in Missouri. In October 1985, the School commemorated 100 years of progress in pharmaceutical education, research, and service. The School of Pharmacy is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP). The doctor of pharmacy program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) through 2009.
