UNM College of Pharmacy

The UNM College of Pharmacy is the only pharmacy school in the state of New Mexico and we work to teach, support, and lead the upcoming future pharmacists. New Mexico is one of only four states in which pharmacists with advanced training can practice as mid-level providers in the healthcare system. In addition, all New Mexico pharmacists can prescribe and administer all vaccinations to patients of all ages, prescribe and dispense oral hormonal contraceptives, smoking cessation agents, travel medications and naloxone, and perform tuberculin skin testing.
