School of Pharmacy - UHAS

You are cordially invited to join us from 23rd to 25th April for a preceptor training with the renowned Professor Ruth Dapaah Afriyie!

Today, the School of Pharmacy - UHAS, marked another significant milestone as we held a White Coat Ceremony to usher our Level 500 PharmD students into their clinical years.

In a joint ceremony with the School of Medicine, which also ushered Level 400 MBChB & Physician Assistantship students into this important phase of their training, the event was not just colourful, but filled with the aura of hope for the future of Health in Ghana. .

Speaking on the theme “One Coat, Many Callings: Professionalism, Purpose & Service in Healthcare,” Professor Agyeman Badu Akosa, the Guest Speaker, reiterated the WhiteCoat as a call to service, compassionate care and absolute professionalism. The white coat, he said, represents trust, responsibility, and a commitment to improving lives.

To our students, we congratulate you on this day! As you step into clinical practice, may you carry with you the values of integrity, empathy, and dedication. The future of healthcare is in your hands.
