This course will cover the mathematics utilized in the practice of pharmacy. The student will learn basic algebra to calculate dosage and dosage rates. These skills will parallel those used by pharmacists when compounding prescriptions, preparing parenteral solutions, preparing pediatric doses or special prescriptions for a patient receiving unique care. The exams in this course will be composed of prescription orders and clinical situations that reflect the practice of pharmacy in both institutional and community settings.

The IPPE will provide, both the experienced and inexperienced student, 160 hours of contemporary pharmacy practice in both a community pharmacy setting and a hospital pharmacy setting. The IPPE program will begin immediately following professional year one and usually take place over four weeks. The IPPE will consist of both practice site activities as well as supporting activities at the college. This introduction to the practice of pharmacy will provide the student with the ability to integrate first-hand practical experience with their didactic and laboratory coursework. Students who present with an extensive background in a particular setting e.g., as a pharmacy technician in a chain drug store, may be assigned to complete the IPPE requirement in an alternative practice setting e.g., an independent community pharmacy or a compounding practice. The IPPE will allow the student, under adequate professional supervision, to be directly involved with patients and their care. Based on prior pharmacy experience in a particular setting, the student¿s direct participation in providing patient-centered care will gradually progress allowing the student and preceptor to feel confident in the student¿s ability to interact with patients. This will provide an opportunity for students to gain an appreciation for the career opportunities available in community pharmacy. Completion of the IPPE program is a prerequisite for beginning the APPE (Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience) program.

6.00 Credits
This course covers the fundamental concepts that determine the time-course of drug concentrations in the body during both single and chronic dosing. Also emphasized are the basic principles and concepts of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics that affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and action of drugs in the body. The physiological determinants of the primary pharmacokinetics parameters of clearance and volume of distribution, primary and secondary pharmacokinetic parameters from concentration-time data, kinetically-based dosage regimen for an individual patient, and a dose regimen for a patient based on the physiological changes brought about by disease or concomitant drug therapy are covered in detail.

3.00 Credits
This course will introduce the student to the process of evaluating the signs and symptoms of an underlying disease process presented by a patient. The organization and conduct of a patient interview and the approaches to an abbreviated physical examination will be presented as classroom discussion and laboratory-based exercises. The concept of follow-up monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of therapy will also be emphasized.
