The Centers for Excellence at MCPHS

Advancing health science education, scholarship, and practice grounded in collaboration and inclusion.


MCPHS Puts its Vision into Action with Seven Centers for Excellence

To advance health- and life-sciences education, scholarship, and practice, we have launched seven strategic Centers for Excellence at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. We created these centers, each distinct in its mission and focus, to promote innovation and collaboration across disciplines, enhance diversity, equity, access, and inclusion, strengthen global engagement and promote new scientific and humanistic insights in the health and life sciences.
