MCPHS Alumni

Did you know that MCPHS once had a medicinal plant garden in Arnold Arboretum? 🌿🪴

Planted across two acres in 1941, the garden featured 382 species and varieties of medicinal and economically important plants, turning Boston into a living classroom for Botany and Pharmacognosy students. It remained a part of the curriculum until the 1960s.

It's a beautiful reminder that healthcare education has always been rooted in discovery. 🔬

On this , we’re spotlighting the University's award-winning interprofessional falls prevention workshop, held in Worcester for the region's senior population.

Presented by students in the Optometry, Physical Therapy, and Pharmacy doctoral programs, the workshop was recognized with a 2025 Interprofessional Education Collaboration Award. Congratulations!

For , we’re sharing this March 1939 photo of our senior class visiting Detroit as guests of Parke-Davis Home Laboratories. 🚗🧳

At the time, Parke-Davis (now a subsidiary of Pfizer) was the first industrial lab in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to pharmacological research.

The whole trip lasted 8 days and covered 2,000 miles by rail, and included stops at Eli Lilly in Indianapolis and at Niagara Falls.

Congratulations, NESA award winners and Class of 2026!

For more than six decades, Gail Bucher has exemplified what it means to give back as an alumna.

A member of the Class of 1963 and recipient of an Honorary Doctor of Science degree in 2025, Gail continues to shape the MCPHS community through her service as a Trustee and University Chaplain, as well as the annual Gail P. and Edward A. Bucher Trustees’ Award for Excellence in Faculty-Student Research Collaboration.

Thank you, Gail. Your example is inspiring generations of graduates.
