Non-Tradi Doctor of Pharmacy

I-Care lab involves case study discussion for application of therapeutic decision-making high impact problems in pharmacy. The course is correlated with Integrated Pharmaceutical Care and Science. During the topic discussions addressed within the sequenced courses, students will participate in the applications laboratory in order to develop skills for applying information in a practice context.

The course is structured in a modular format and complemented with Integrative Therapeutics Laboratory I with lectures, labs and learning activities led by clinical faculty. In order for students to achieve the course goals and objectives, a variety of teaching methods will be applied. In conjunction with Integrative Therapeutics laboratory I, students participate in traditional lectures, small group discussions, practical laboratory exercises, SOAP case write-ups, case simulation, and oral exam to reinforce didactic teachings and overall student learning; however, the primary focus of the module is provided by traditional lectures.

This course will be taught by the clinical and basic science faculty together to provide instruction utilizing both didactic and practical experience sessions. The course is organized by organ systems of the human body and various diseases associated with them. Students will learn about the pathophysiology and pharmacotherapy of various disease states that health care practitioners (pharmacists) may encounter in their practice settings. Students will also learn to make appropriate therapy choices, define goals of therapy, and learn to assess whether these goals are being achieved. Students will learn to create, implement, and monitor pharmaceutical care plans. A goal of this course is to prepare students with the ability to render pharmaceutical care and participate successfully for the experiential program.

The Pharmacoepidemiology and Outcomes Research section is an introduction to the evaluation of the scientific studies that supports the rational use of medication use in humans. The goal of this block is to provide opportunities for students to understand the concepts, methods, and applications of pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomics, and outcomes studies utilized in clinical settings as well as with to provide tools to critically assess the clinical literature. In addition, the methods for the interpretational and generalization of findings from these studies relevant to medical and pharmaceutical care practice will be introduced by utilizing knowledge developed from the Research Methods/Biostatistics block. Students will be also prepared for problem-based critique sessions in the Integrative Therapeutics blocks.

This course module follows Integrated Therapeutics I, II, III and IV and is taught by clinical faculty using both didactic and simulated practice-oriented learning experiences. Specifically, IT-V focuses on hematology and oncology related diseases and conditions. Students learn and apply appropriate pathophysiologic and pharmacotherapeutic concepts and principles in an INTEGRATED fashion to establish competent methodology toward achieving optimal patient outcomes. This includes defining goals of therapy and selecting appropriate therapy from among available choices. Students will gain experience with various medication therapy management processes through lecture, discussion, and simulation. Upon completion of this course, students should be prepared to participate in offering medication therapy management services for the covered diseases and conditions.

Integrated Therapeutics (IT) III lecture is the third component in the integrated therapeutics series designed to combine the pathophysiologic and pharmacotherapeutic management of various disease states encountered routinely by pharmacist practitioners. Where appropriate, cultural competency principles will be integrated with lecture topics. Student knowledge of basic pharmaceutical principles, acquired in IT-I&II, will be applied to clinical principles of additional organ systems presented in IT-III. This is a team-taught course.

Overview of Cardiopulmonary assessment, discussion of the "when," "why," and "what" of physical assessment of the cardiac and pulmonary. Patient cardiovascular physical assessment instruction: peripheral edema, vital signs. Enrollment is limited to students enrolled in the Non-Traditional Doctor of Pharmacy program only.

This course refers to the application of technology in the delivery of drug information services. Drug information services, in turn, include responding to drug information inquiries, conducting medication use evaluations and participating in medication quality assurance programs, such as; monitoring adverse drug reactions, drug and herbal product interactions, and medications errors. This course is intended to introduce students to drug information skills required to deliver pharmaceutical care. Students will be trained to develop the skills to obtain information from various literature and reference sources to answer drug information questions efficiently. Techniques for researching and evaluating drug literature will be covered. Emphasis will be placed on systemic approaches to formulation of responses utilizing both verbal and written communication skills.

In-depth discussions of the basic concepts of pharmacokinetics, the pharmacokinetics of drugs with narrow therapeutic range and the influence of pathophysiological and dosage form variables on drug therapy. Emphasis will be placed on the design and modification of drug dosage regimens in the individual patient and the use and reliability of drug assays for this purpose. Computer simulations and case studies will be used to complement the didactic teaching.

This course is an expansive and in-depth Introduction to Pharmacy Administration. It facilitates the student's management and leadership training by introducing them to a comprehensive overview of management and leadership principles, concepts, and practices in pharmacy-based environments. The course further addresses the economic, administrative, entrepreneurial, innovative, and human resource aspects of pharmacy practice while furthering students' knowledge on details about the US Health Care System.

Integrated Therapeutics (IT) III lecture is the third component in the integrated therapeutics series designed to combine the pathophysiologic and pharmacotherapeutic management of various disease states encountered routinely by pharmacist practitioners. Where appropriate, cultural competency principles will be integrated with lecture topics. Student knowledge of basic pharmaceutical principles, acquired in IT-1, will be applied to clinical principles of additional organ systems presented in ITIII. This is a team-taught course.

The course is structured in a modular format and complemented with Integrative Therapeutics Laboratory with lectures, labs and onsite practice activities led by clinical faculty. In order for students to achieve the course goals and objectives, a variety of teaching methods will be applied. Students are required to participate actively in both flipped (30%) and non-flipped (70%) portions of the course to earn a passing grade. Traditional lectures will be replaced by first participating in online, blackboard assignments (Tegrity and discussion board and quizzes) before in class participation and small group discussions, role play, question, and answer sessions to reinforce didactic teachings and overall student learning. In class discussions will increase student presentation skills as they each role play to counsel patients on proper use of their prescribed medications; making optimal recommendations to physicians to alter prescription regimens and give general advise on best therapies for patients. This approach will also improve student communication skills, which have been a problem with the old approach of traditional lectures. Students will also gain/build confidence as they exercise critical thinking and interact with classmates on discussion board as well as in class discussions.

IT3C lecture is the final component in the integrated therapeutics series designed to combine the pathophysiologic and pharmacotherapeutic management of various disease states encountered routinely by pharmacist practitioners. Where appropriate, cultural competency principles will be integrated with lecture topics. Student knowledge of basic pharmaceutical principles, acquired in IT-1, will be applied to clinical principles of additional organ systems presented in ITIII-C.
