Our People

Alum

Claire Thom

This institution set the foundation for how I think, how I behave and how I view the world.

Assistant Director of the UICentre

Jason Hickok

We start with the idea that there are researchers on campus with a seed of a drug discovery project and then we pull together the team and resources capable of moving the project to the next level.

Alum

Marc Cook

In long term care pharmacy I saw a way to apply the skills I learned at UIC.

Class of 2016

Jamie Hale

I chose to go to the Rockford campus because it is smaller and more intimate.

Class of 2018

Paula Bielnicka

All of my teachers are experts in their fields which provides me with the knowledge and research opportunities to further my career in the small world of pharmacy.

Why UIC? Because our students are given the foundation to pursue their dreams.

Last year, our residency match rate was 77%.

Our NAPLEX pass rate was 94.49%, 4% above the national average.

There’s always room in our legacy for more great minds and caring hearts, whether you’re a student, professor, preceptor, or supporter of our mission.
