| Curriculum | With a strong foundation in the liberal arts and basic sciences, students develop the essential knowledge and skills to provide the highest quality pharmaceutical care for their patients. Curricular emphasis is focused on the pharmacist’s role in disease state management. A combination of traditional lecture, structured laboratories, and cooperative and case-based learning is used to create a student-centered learning environment. Structured experiential programs in the 6th year guide the student to professional expertise in a variety of practice settings. Students entering the professional phase of the program participate in a computer-enriched curricular experience. To support this initiative, notebook computers are provided to all first professional year students for use over the next 4 years. The complete Pharm.D. curriculum contains 210 semester hours, 170 of which are didactic coursework and 40 hours of which are experiential credit representing 1600 hours of pharmacy-related practice experience. |
