Let’s take a trip down memory lane
To recognize the school that left me better than I came
Now professionalism is steady flowing through the veins
And infected with wisdom to analyze gram stains

At the University of Colorado
Leadership in pharmacy has always been the motto
Faculty members have set examples we can follow
Phi Delta Chi Sigma Brothers yelling “bravo!”

Now looking back to first year
I get real sense of what I learned here
Communication skills, how to make the pills
And a genuine devotion to reshape the field

Through interprofessional education
Got to work with students of different healthcare occupations
Determining the plan of patient simulations
And giving way too many case presentations

And now I’m dosing Vanco
Pharmacokinetics is a pharmacy staple
Ensuring safety, and our patients are stable
Crash cart filled and the meds are labeled

We do more than count by fives
Always taking time saving patient lives
Looking over DDI’s
And the prodrugs that need to hydrolyze

(Break)

We are the Skaggs School of Pharmacy
In the mile-high city where it’s hard to breathe
Whether asthma, infection, or heart disease
We stay monitoring meds in the chart with ease

Don’t forget the creatinine clearance
Calling all our patients to verify their adherence
Giving education so that they can understand
That they’re taking Synthroid for their thyroid gland

And with so many doses
Always gotta remain focused
Learning pharmacotherapy from respected professors
Authors to guidelines every semester

They helped me become independent practitioner
When pharmacy training required analyzing literature
And working with a team to improve patient outcomes
All my APPEs, couldn’t’ve done it without ‘em

And I sit here grateful
For every teacher that was willing to provide me
Guidance, education ‘til I got a brain full
Can’t contain appreciativeness inside me

And let’s not forget my peers
Who throughout the years gave me lots of cheer
I am ready for my career
And to practice at the pharmacy frontier
