| Curriculum | The goal of the Lipscomb University College of Pharmacy curriculum supports the College’s mission to provide an educational experience that demands academic excellence in the classroom and the practice setting coupled with an ongoing demonstration of Christian values. Through a combination of educational experiences ranging from basic science coursework to direct patient interactions, these curricular experiences will prepare student pharmacists to: • Optimize medication outcomes in an ethical and compassionate manner; • Satisfy pre-licensure requirements of Boards of Pharmacy; • Develop student pharmacists into effective practitioners with excellent patient care skills; • Manage ethical, cultural, and socioeconomic challenges the student pharmacist will encounter throughout everyday practice. Student pharmacists will participate in introductory and advanced pharmacy practice experiences as they progress through the curriculum. These experiences will be located in a variety of practice settings, most of which will be located on the Nashville area. These experiences will provide student pharmacists the opportunity for direct patient interactions as a member of an interdisciplinary healthcare team. |
