CurriculumThe professional program is designed and
implemented by the Departments of Pharmacy
Practice and Pharmaceutical Sciences to
educate and prepare students for the evolving
demands of the profession. The curriculum is
driven by the following principles:
1. Students will be exposed to practice
experiences, which are based upon the
provision of pharmaceutical care that
begins upon entry into the curriculum
and continues throughout the four years
of the curriculum.
2. Pharmaceutical sciences and clinical
sciences will be integrated throughout
the curriculum with the goal of instilling
upon our graduates the need for the
continuation of basic science knowledge
throughout their careers.
3. Faculty will endeavor to deliver the curriculum
to students utilizing the most
effective means possible and will strive
to incorporate new, effective approaches
to teaching and learning.
4. The curriculum will be “patient-focused”
that trains students to be a
primary care provider. This will involve
teaching students patient assessment
and advanced oral and written communications
skills.
5. Advanced practice experiences will be
integrated into institutions and organizations
that provide pharmaceutical
care. Student experiences will be maximized
at an organization such that they
can deliver pharmaceutical care and
begin to evaluate the outcomes of pharmaceutical
care at that institution. These
experiences will be reflective of practice
environments entered after graduation.
