About Pharmacy Services

The FAMU College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Institute of Public Health operates four not-for-profit community pharmacies in Tallahassee. Each pharmacy provides dual benefits: providing an innovative and unique experience for pharmacy students and improving access to pharmacy and health care services for members of our local community.

Our pharmacies provide care for the medically underserved, and community partners that service within indigent health clinics. Our inpatient institutional pharmacy services behavioral health inpatients, and outpatients. The College also operates the campus pharmacy, which is housed in the Center for Access and Student Success (CASS) building.
