| Curriculum | Beginning Fall 2012, the doctor of pharmacy curriculum will encompass four academic years of study, after completion of the specified pre-requites for the Pharm.D. degree. The first professional year includes introductory pharmacy practice, pharmaceutical sciences and upper-level basic science courses. Commencing with the second professional year, students engage in advanced pharmaceutical science lecture and labs, professional electives, pharmacology and toxicology and introductory pharmacy practice experiences. In the third year students apply their knowledge to therapeutic problems and are immersed in advanced pharmacotherapeutics, evidence based medicine research methods, advances in drug therapy and pharmacy practice management. The final year is devoted to structured advanced pharmacy practice experiences provided through community, hospital, clinical and other specialized pharmacy practice settings. All of the introductory and advanced pharmacy practice learning experiences are conducted in actual practice settings under the supervision of a practitioner-instructor or clinical pharmacist who serves as an exemplary role model in his/her particular type of pharmacy practice. |
