The Eight Dimensions of Wellness
Supporting positive mental health, community, and well-being in the learning environment is a priority for the University of Iowa and the College of Pharmacy. We are dedicated to life-long learning that sustains optimal health and connectedness. Every human has basic needs that must be met to be the best version of themselves. When students have a high sense of self-assuredness, health, and purpose they are more motivated and thrive personally and academically. Well-being is a value that extends to our faculty and staff. And, ultimately, patients receiving care from our population benefit.
