Pharmacy School Resources Aid Graduate Students’ Research

At the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy, undergraduate students have opportunities to gain hands-on experience to prepare them for careers in pharmacy. It’s no different for graduate students, who undertake research at the school that can make a real difference in lives around the state and region. Fortunately for these students, they receive lots of help along the way.
