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 Five Centers for Excellence

To advance health- and life-sciences education, scholarship, and practice, we have launched five 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.

"MCPHS Centers For Excellence have a shared purpose to promote collaboration across disciplines that will lead to new scientific and humanistic insights in the health and life sciences. The Centers organize initiatives and events to bring together students, faculty, scholars, and thought leaders, who share their experiences, challenge one another’s perspectives, and pursue innovation together."
