Abstract: University pharmacies represent fundamental spaces for the integration of teaching, research and extension in the health field, playing a strategic role both in the training of pharmaceutical professionals and in the promotion of care for the community. The growing demand for qualified pharmaceutical services and the strengthening of the Unified Health System (SUS) highlight the relevance of these structures in the educational and social context. This study aims to analyze the importance of university pharmacies as tools for professional training and community support. The methodology adopted was based on a narrative bibliographic review, with a survey of scientific articles that deal with the performance of university pharmacies in Brazil and other countries. The results indicate that these spaces contribute to the development of clinical, ethical and communication skills in students, in addition to offering services such as rational dispensing of medications, pharmacotherapeutic monitoring and educational actions in health. Such practices have a direct impact on the quality of care provided to the population, especially in areas of greater social vulnerability. It is concluded that university pharmacies perform an important social function, promoting access to health and information, while strengthening the practical and critical training of future pharmacists. Their strengthening depends on continuous institutional investments and the recognition of their strategic value at the interface between university and society.
