The mission of the Pharmacotherapy Division is to educate and train the future leaders of pharmacy, engage in innovative research, and provide exemplary patient care. Our vision is to be a leader in practice-related education, clinical and translational research, and professional service. The Division of Pharmacotherapy is one of five divisions within the College of Pharmacy. The division is unique to other divisions beginning with its physical location 75 miles south of Austin at the Health Science Center in San Antonio. Pharmacotherapy's mission is to educate and train the future leaders of pharmacy, engage in innovative research, and provide exemplary patient care. The division is the home base for many students engaged in either a one- or two-year specialty practice residency program or a two- or three-year clinical science fellowship. David S. Burgess, Pharm.D serves as division head and Leroy C. Knodel, Pharm.D. serves as assistant division head. The division consists of full- and part-time faculty as well as office personnel. Most faculty offices are found in the McDermott Clinical Sciences Building. The division is also home to the Drug Information Service, located within the Briscoe Biomedical Library. |

Dr. Chris Frei, assistant professor of pharmacotherapy, was recognized by the Pharmacy Alumni Association as recipient of the Distinguished Young Alumnus Award. The award was presented in Fall
2012 during at the Alumni Reception and Awards Banquet. Dr. Frei earned his Pharm.D. from the college in 2001 and his M.S. in pharmacy in 2003. He was featured as part of the academic
accolade program during halftime of a Longhorn men's basketball game in late January.
The Pharmacotherapy Division was established in the mid-1970s as the home of
the college's post B.S. Pharm.D. program. After being a presence in San
Antonio for almost 25 years, the division settled into its permanent home
in 1991 on the third floor of the new McDermott Clinical Sciences Building.
Within the Health Science Center, the faculty and staff moved from being a
part of the Department of Pharmacology to the Pharmacotherapy Education and
Research Center in the School of Medicine in 2006. Although the division
finds its physical home in San Antonio within the School of Medicine, staff
and faculty primarily are employees of The University of Texas at Austin
College of Pharmacy.
