| Curriculum | UHH-CoP offers a four-year course of study leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. The program is offered on a full-time basis only. The first two years of the four-year curriculum are rooted in basic and biomedical sciences and the pharmaceutical sciences. These years will provide students with knowledge of the scientific underpinnings of pharmacy practice and applications of the theoretical perspectives of pharmacy as a heath science discipline. The social, behavioral and administrative sciences that inform pharmaceutical care are integrated throughout the curriculum. Pharmacy practice arenas of therapeutics, drug information, pharmaceutical care, and experiential education permeate each year. UHH-CoP embraces the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) five core competencies for the health science disciplines as key components of the curriculum. These include patient safety, patient centered care, team relationships, technologically informed practices and inter-professional education (IPE), which are also endorsed by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP). Pharmacy Practice Experiences (PPE) are integrated into all four years of the Pharm.D. program. PPE capitalizes on community outreach and service learning that taps into Hawaii’s cultural values and diverse biosphere inclusive of its Native Hawaiian Health systems and community practices that embody cultural healing and alternative therapeutics. The wide range of medical specialties available among different healthcare institutions throughout the United States and U.S. Territories such as Guam, American Samoa and Puerto Rico provide clinical sites to fulfill ACPE requirements. |
