The objective of pharmaceutical care is to optimize health results and enhance patients' wellbeing while minimizing potential risks. During your initial year, you'll gain fundamental knowledge in biochemistry, physiology, and pharmacy operations. Additionally, you'll participate in interdisciplinary healthcare studies alongside peers from various health science programs.
Subsequent coursework covers pharmaceutical sciences, drug chemistry, antimicrobial treatments, drug therapy, and further refinement of practical pharmacy skills.
The program requires completion of at least 10 weeks (375 hours) of clinical rotations, with options for placements in hospitals, community settings, or industry sectors both domestically and internationally.
You'll develop the ability to: Employ comprehensive expertise and analytical capabilities with professional judgment in pharmaceutical practice, while advancing evidence-based approaches through academic inquiry. Employ critical analysis, innovation, and reflective thinking to design projects and address complex pharmaceutical challenges independently. Gather, evaluate, interpret, and integrate information to solve clinical, professional, and scientific pharmacy issues. Communicate proficiently as a pharmacist to diverse audiences, presenting knowledge and concepts clearly for both professional and research contexts. Leverage pharmacy-specific software and technological tools for practice, scholarship, and investigation. Take personal responsibility for continuous professional development. Deliver pharmaceutical services and conduct practice-based research while considering political, social, cultural, geographical, technological, and global factors.
