| Curriculum | The Doctor of Pharmacy Curriculum at Regis University uniquely combines a highly integrated course curriculum with Team-Based Learning (TBL) in a Jesuit learning environment. The curricular content integrates biological, pharmaceutical, and clinical sciences so that basic biological and pharmaceutical concepts are discussed in the context of disease management. Simultaneous to oncampus curricular content, students will take part in an experiential component where they will work directly with patients in a variety of healthcare settings. Presenting the course curriculum in this manner encourages students to learn course concepts, and better understand how biological, pharmaceutical, and clinical sciences fit together. Most courses are taught using TBL as the main instructional strategy. In a TBL course, students are divided into groups of 5 to 7 members that, as they work together over time, develop into highly functional learning teams. TBL requires students to learn course content before coming to class. Students spend classroom time, in their teams, applying their knowledge of course content to solving problems. To ensure course content comprehension, students are evaluated individually and as a team for each TBL unit, and during mid-term and final exams. Students develop strong teamwork skills in TBL courses, enhancing their ability to function as an effective member of a healthcare team. The tenets of Jesuit education are threaded throughout the curriculum in ethics, faith and service learning courses and experiences. The Regis University School of Pharmacy is the only pharmacy school in the United States to completely integrate the entire course curriculum and use TBL. |
