The Division of Pharmacotherapy is one of six 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 train and educate pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists to provide speciality pharmacotherapeutic services including primary care and to conduct translational, transdisciplinary and other types of innovative research. 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 research and office personnel. Several Austin faculty members in the Division of Pharmacy Practice are also cross-appointed in the division. 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.
