Why do research in administration?

Someone should pursue graduate education in Pharmacy Administration to effect meaningful, positive change in healthcare at a systems level. Graduate training empowers us to rigorously address health inequity, access to healthcare, and value in healthcare. Better healthcare evidence can inform better healthcare decisions and help our healthcare system work better for everyone.
