| Curriculum | Saint Joseph College School of Pharmacy offers a unique three-calendar year, co-educational, doctoral degree (Pharm.D.) program in Pharmacy. The innovative modified-block curriculum has a proven record of increasing students’ ability to master the didactic material along with providing students with a rich experiential education. The curricular content and competencies follow the current ACPE Standards and comply with the prescribed amounts of subject material and experiential practice. The P1 year consists of 27 sequential modules/ blocks (11 fall, 11 spring, 5 summer), with the first experiential component beginning in the sixth week of the fall term. The fall term is devoted to learning the basic sciences in the practice context. The spring and summer terms are devoted to coverage of the basic pharmaceutical sciences focusing on organic medicinal agents of natural and synthetic origin. They are integrated to show the relationship between chemical structure, pharmacological activity, and clinical outcomes. Additionally, students study the economic, administrative, legal and human aspects of pharmacy operations required to deliver pharmacy patient-centered care. The summer term also contains a 4-week intensive experiential component and an Integrative Seminar designed to develop and reinforce life-long essential skills that students will utilize in the profession of pharmacy, including professional communication, ethics, cultural competencies, leadership skills, and professionalism. The P2 year consists of 26 sequential modules/ blocks including two integrative courses, one in Scientific Writing and the other in Practice Integration, along with several elective courses and an Integrative Seminar. The Pharmacotherapy Disease State Management (PDSM) courses are taught by teams of practice faculty with contributions from pharmaceutical science faculty, and are organized by organ system with a focus on disease. The goal of these integrated therapeutic courses is to prepare the student to render general patient-centered care and participate successfully in P3 year experiential courses. The case material used in these courses is cumulative to ensure adequate application of both the pharmaceutical science and the clinical science knowledge acquired previously. The P3 year is dedicated to the Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences. These consists of six 6-week rotations, each 40 hours per week. The outcome expectations for these experiences represent further advancement of student abilities. Students must demonstrate comprehensive ability to provide pharmacist-delivered patient-centered care. These are followed by a third Integrative Seminar. |
