| Curriculum | The Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences has implemented a curriculum that is designed to include pharmaceutical, administrative, social, behavioral, and clinical science components. Curricular content is integrated, with practice and general patient-oriented skills implemented across the curricular sequence, commencing in the first semester. Active learning and expanded use of media technology are integral parts of the teaching methodology. The basic residence requirement for the completion of the Doctor of Pharmacy degree is eight semesters which is completed in two and two-thirds years. This has been made possible by utilizing the summer months for instruction, thus providing the same number of instructional days as in four academic years. The Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum prepares our graduates to become generalist practitioners of pharmacy. The goals and objectives of the curriculum in pharmacy embrace the scope of contemporary practice responsibilities as well as emerging roles that ensure the rational use of drugs in the individualized care of patients and patient populations. The program provides students with a core of knowledge, skills, abilities, attitudes, and values that are necessary to the provision of pharmaceutical care and provide an opportunity for students to select courses and professional experiences in keeping with particular interest and goals. The need for life-long learning is reflected as an integral theme of the curriculum. The Doctor of Pharmacy program was revised in 2009 to enhance introductory experiences and problem solving abilities of students, while maintaining and enhancing the development of abilities in the basic and applied pharmaceutical sciences. The required courses for the program include: Pharmacy Practice and Professionalism; Informatics, Statistics and Research Design; Dispensing, Compounding and Calculations; Physical Pharmacy and Dosage Forms; Drug Metabolism and Disposition; Pharmacokinetics and Advanced Drug Delivery Systems; Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry; Physiology and Pathophysiology I-III; Pharmacology and Medicinal Chemistry I-III; Nonprescription Therapy and Self Care; Therapeutics I-VII; Practicum I-IV; Pharmacoeconomics, Benefits and Outcomes; Pharmacy Law and Ethics; Pharmacy Management; Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences I-V; and Advanced Pharmacy Practices I-VI. |
