| Curriculum | The School of Pharmacy and Health Professions is a recognized leader in innovative curricula designed to prepare students to face the challenges of pharmacy in the 21st century. Creighton’s pharmacy program provides students a sound scientific knowledge base, well-developed clinical expertise, critical thinking abilities, moral reasoning, and communication skills. The School prides itself on a tradition for caring, value-oriented education of the whole person. Biomedical science courses are taught through an interdisciplinary approach during the first two years. Student initiated research projects also provide an opportunity to expand scientific knowledge. The School furnishes diverse opportunities for students interested in participating in research. All pharmacy students, campus and distance, are issued their own tablet computers. It is incorporated into every aspect of learning and the School’s IT staff will give students all the necessary training and technical support. Three academic years in the School’s classrooms and laboratories studying biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences prepare students for their final year in the clinical rotations. Additionally, during these first three years, early clinical and service experiences give students a broad exposure to the profession and patient care and provide the foundation for the final year of clinical rotations. During the fourth and final year, Creighton pharmacy students have available more than 300 clinical sites in the United States and internationally. Students complete eight clinical rotations, each a five-week-long experience. Five of the clinical rotations are required in distinct professional settings: community pharmacy, acute patient care, in-patient hospital, ambulatory clinics, and drug information. Three elective clinical rotations allow students to focus on specific practice interests. |
