| Additional Requirements | The NSU Pharm.D. degree program is a four-year course of study which follows the completion of required preprofessional coursework. Students may complete their pre-pharmacy coursework at NSU or at another accredited college or university. Dual admissions programs with NSU and several other undergraduate institutions are available. The pharmacy curriculum is comprised of courses and labs which integrate information and build on one another, providing students with the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in the profession. The first two years of the didactic component of the curriculum build a foundation in the biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. Students are also introduced to the principles of drug therapy and take courses covering communications, business, and legal aspects of pharmacy and the health care system. The third year of the curriculum provides additional pharmaceutical science and pharmacy practice information and concentrates on application of material learned. Focus is placed on pharmacotherapeutics, the use of drugs in disease process, and courses that allow students to hone their analytical skills. The curriculum includes an early experience program, which promotes professionalism and community service and offers students experience in community, and hospital settings during the first three years. The final year is spent completing full-time advanced practice pharmacy experiences. The College utilizes off-campus pharmacy practice sites, most in the immediate area, to provide this experiential education. Students are provided opportunities to interact with patients, pharmacists and other health care providers. |
