| Curriculum | The Northeastern University School of Pharmacy offers a six-year program of study leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. Students begin their education completing two years of preprofessional courses that include English, mathematics, and biomedical sciences. Years 3-6 (the professional curriculum) are comprised of courses and experiences that emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and active learning in building knowledge and skills in the pharmaceutical and clinical sciences. Unique to Northeastern University is the utilization of cooperative (Co-op) education to deliver introductory pharmacy practice experiences. Such experiences are carefully selected to ensure that practice-based competencies are achieved during nearly one year of cooperative education. Co-ops are typically paid experiences that are interspersed with classroom instruction to maximize their relevance. Students do not pay tuition during Co-ops. Students complete 36 weeks of advanced pharmacy practice experience during the final year of the program. Required experiences include acute care (general medicine or hospital-based specialty practice), ambulatory care, community practice and healthsystem pharmacy. Elective experiences are based on personal preference and students have more than 40 types of experiences from which to choose. Upon completion of both didactic and experiential education all graduates are prepared to take the national licensing exam in pharmacy and practice in a wide variety of pharmacy settings. The Pharm.D. curriculum prepares pharmacists who can assume responsibility for the care of patients and assure the rational use of drug therapy. Many graduates continue with post-doctoral training through residencies or fellowships to develop additional practice and research skills leading to careers in academia, specialized clinical practice, or pharmaceutical industry. |
