| Curriculum | The Pharm.D. curriculum is innovative, contemporary, and futuristic. It has been carefully crafted to support the School’s commitment to academic and professional excellence, while guiding students through a four-year process of holistic growth. Coursework provides a strong science foundation, into which critical thinking and clinical problem solving are progressively integrated. A modular pharmacotherapy sequence seamlessly integrates pharmacology, pathophysiology and therapeutics within eight distinct courses. Three years of didactic instruction culminate in a series of capstone courses that teach students how to apply their scientific and clinical knowledge. The transition from science to practice is facilitated by scheduled experiential excursions into pharmacy practice settings during each of the first three years. This starts with community pharmacy, followed by hospital pharmacy, and lastly by exposure to direct patient care environments. Once the requisite skills have been mastered, students have an entire year of hands-on training experiences in real-life pharmacy settings. This final year is structured into nine 4-week experiential rotations, four of which are elective rotations that enable students to hone their skills in areas of special interest. In addition to core science and pharmacy practice coursework, the curriculum places special emphasis on spiritual and professional development, communication, leadership/ management, ethics, and other people skills subjects that are vital to the success of pharmacists in the workplace. |
