| Curriculum | During the first three years of the four-year professional curriculum, students receive instruction in the basic biomedical, pharmaceutical, and clinical sciences. The first year of the program offers required courses in pharmacy law and ethics, pharmaceutical care, pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacy and health care, drug information, compounding, biology of disease, microbiology, immunology, and applied biochemistry. The second year contains required courses in medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutical sciences, and pharmacotherapy. The third year offers courses that are more practice-oriented including pharmacy law, pharmacotherapy, drug literature evaluation, and professional practice management. The three-year didactic program also includes ten professional elective hours. Three hundred (300) contact hours of Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE) are incorporated into the first three years. The fourth year of the program consists of 40 weeks of Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiential education (APPE). Students will spend 40 to 50 hours per week on 10 x four-week practice experiences at various sites on the academic medical center campus, in the Omaha/Lincoln metro area, in rural communities of Greater Nebraska and across the United States. The practice experiences are divided into Level I and II. Students must complete six (6) required courses which include: one each Level I practice experience in Acute Care and Ambulatory Care settings, one Advanced Community Pharmacy experience, one Non-Direct Patient Care experience and one Level II practice experience each in Acute Care and Ambulatory Care settings. The remaining four practice experiences are electives as preferenced by the student. A total of 153 semester hours in the professional program are required for graduation. The complete curriculum may be found on the College of Pharmacy Web site (http://www.unmc.edu/pharmacy/ pharmd_curriculum.htm). |
