About USC Black Pharmacy Society
Black Pharmacy Society at USC serves as an affinity group rooted in the mission of fostering a thriving community of connection, well-being, and belonging at the Alfred E. Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Los Angeles, CA. The organization brings together individuals who share cultural identities, backgrounds, and experiences, creating a supportive environment where members can authentically connect and grow together throughout their pharmacy education and careers.
As part of USC Mann's comprehensive affinity group ecosystem, Black Pharmacy Society represents a commitment to building inclusive communities within professional healthcare education. The organization recognizes the importance of safe spaces where students, faculty, staff, and alumni across the African diaspora—including those who identify as Black, African-American, or Pan-African—can find belonging and mutual support. This community-centered approach enhances the overall well-being and academic success of its members while contributing to a more diverse and equitable pharmacy profession.
Based in Los Angeles, the society actively cultivates meaningful relationships and shared experiences among its members through regular gatherings, collaborative projects, and professional development activities. The organization's commitment extends beyond individual support to creating networks of healthcare providers dedicated to exceptional patient care and community health. By fostering leadership development and innovative thinking among pharmacy professionals from underrepresented backgrounds, Black Pharmacy Society contributes to shaping the future of pharmacy practice in California and beyond. The group welcomes all interested community members to join in building a stronger, more connected pharmacy profession.
