| Curriculum | The School of Pharmacy offers a four-year program leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy degree. The curriculum is designed to provide students with the scientific background and clinical skills necessary to take the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) and to enter professional practice. The limited class enrollment allows for individualized attention from instructors while still enjoying the benefits of attending a large university. Instructional methods emphasize the critical thinking and problemsolving and clinical skills necessary to provide rational drug therapy, reduce medicationrelated problems, promote healthy lifestyles and disease prevention, optimize health outcomes, enhance patient adherence and render care in a changing health care system. The School aspires to foster a commitment to life-long learning and provide an environment where students develop the knowledge, attitudes and skills consistent with the profession’s high standards. Students are given the opportunity to explore individual areas of interest by choosing among the many professional elective options offered at the University of Washington. Dual degree options include the Pharm.D./Ph.D. Programs in Pharmaceutics and Medicinal Chemistry, the Pharm.D./M.S. program in Pharmaceutical Outcomes, Research and Policy Students, the Professional M.S. in Biomedical Regulatory Affairs, and the Pharm.D./Physician Assistant Program. Students also have the option of earning certificates concurrently with their degree. Examples include the Geriatric Certificate in Pharmacy Practice and the Biomedical Regulatory Affairs Certificate. As a continuing education center for pharmacists, the School operates, among other programs, a senior care journal club and a Geriatric Pharmacy Practice Certificate Program that provides advanced instruction in the care and management of medication for older adults. To foster the interest of students who seek to engage in creative discovery and research, the School also offers graduate programs in Pharmaceutics, Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Outcomes, Research and Policy. |
