CurriculumCourses in biological sciences, biomedical
sciences, public health, pharmaceutical sciences,
clinical sciences, and pharmacy practice
form an essential part of the curriculum.
The experiential years of our curriculum are
designed to provide community-based education
in health care facilities, public health
agencies, and advocacy experiences. Elective
course offerings and a “Capstone Project”
in the fourth year allow expansion of the knowledge and skills to practice pharmacy
in the 21st century.
Additional RequirementsTouro College of Pharmacy’s mission includes
incorporating public health education
in the training of pharmacists. The goal of
the curriculum is to educate patient-centered
practitioners to engage in the community
from both pharmacy practice and public
health perspectives. To accomplish this
level of education it is necessary to move
introductory level basic science courses into
the pre-pharmacy education requirements.
A baccalaureate degree is required. The baccalaureate
education will enable the students
to mature in their educational skills and
practices in order to participate in the critical
thinking requirements in the pharmacy
curriculum.
