| Curriculum | The requirements of the prepharmacy coursework may be fulfilled at any accredited collegiate institution. Professional education leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) based at an academic health center offers the added advantage of traditional campus life framed in an environment focused on patient care, medical research, and outreach. The culture allows for early and extensive immersion into the profession. The professional curriculum is designed to integrate pharmacy practice experiences with challenging didactic courses in the basic, administrative, and clinical sciences. Experiential education consists of introductory pharmacy practice experiences integrated into the didactic portion of the first three years of the curriculum followed by nine advanced pharmacy practice experiences that require experiences in community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, ambulatory care settings, and other health-system pharmacies as well as non-traditional pharmacy settings. This experiential component of the curriculum gives the student direct patient care experience and an opportunity to work closely with physicians, |
