Poor quality of medication use has been identified as a major public health problem. While much of the attention placed on the use of pharmaceuticals involves escalating direct expenditures, health researchers and policy makers have increasingly recognized that drug misuse, overuse, and under-use are often root causes of sub-optimal pharmacotherapeutic outcomes. As such, optimally allocating resources for the rational use of medication necessarily entails critical examination of how appropriately and how efficiently we use medications. To achieve this objective, those in the health sciences are increasingly adopting a `systems approach¿ to quality improvement in medication use; as pioneered in the manufacturing industries. Pharmacy students understanding `systems thinking¿ and with knowledge of opportunities for improving medication use will be well poised to lead efforts in their own practice setting to use medications effectively, efficiently, and safely.

This series of three courses will employ a disease process/organ system approach and serve as a review of knowledge learned in the basic biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences acquired during the first four semesters. Central to this series will be the development of patient-focused, evidence-based pharmacotherapy management and the clinical decision-making skills to optimize patient-specific therapies. These courses will address the pathophysiology of disease and its manifestations; approaches to diagnosis; drugs of choice and therapeutic alternatives; pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of commonly employed therapeutic agents; and the skills necessary to monitor a course of therapy in any patient. Variable credit will be based upon the amount of time devoted to each topic and will include: General Review · Patient Assessment Skills/Diagnostic Considerations · Clinical Laboratory Tests · Patient Medical Record Topics- will include but are not limited to: Fluids, Electrolytes and Nutrition Psychiatric Disorders Infectious Diseases Special Patient Populations Neurological Disorders Cardiovascular Disease Bone and Joint Diseases Critical Care Gastrointestinal Diseases Disorders of the Skin Renal Disease Eye and Ear Disorders Endocrine Disorders Hematologic disorders Cancer

This course will be the final preparation for the Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences delivered in the fourth year of the professional program. Students will spend the majority of the time devoted to this course in the Pharmacy Practice lab developing their professional skills. The student will refine their ability to process a prescription including basic assessment, interpreting the prescription, data entry, checking a prescription and patient profile for accuracy, and counseling a patient on mechanism of action, adverse effects and drug interactions. Sample patient profiles will be utilized and include not only prescription drugs but also over the counter drugs, vitamins, homeopathic products, herbal supplements and nutritional supplements. Various teaching techniques will be employed including: problem solving in small groups, demonstrations in a mock pharmacy and peer/evaluator critiques using audio and visual aids (telephones, audio recording devices, fax machines and digital cameras).
