On Friday, June 5th, 2015, in addition to the OSU|OHSU College of Pharmacy graduation ceremony, P4 students had the opportunity to participate in Oregon Health & Science University’s inter-professional Convocation Ceremony. This is a new event for all of OHSU healthcare students, faculty, and administrators from Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy. This celebratory occasion highlighted the growing collaborative healthcare team that has come together in the new Collaborative Life Sciences Building in Portland.
