3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: All required fifth-year courses. This course exposes the student to interpersonal communication as it applies to pharmacy practice from a patient-focused approach. It highlights the importance of the pharmacist's responsibility in communicating with patients and other healthcare providers. Specific attention is devoted to strategies that improve the pharmacist's decision-making and communication skills. The intertwining of the didactic and actual pharmacist interactions will prepare the student for the real-world environment. The knowledge and skills gleaned from this course will assist the student with the planning and execution of communication activities routinely encountered by the practicing pharmacist. Lecture, 3 hours. Credit: 3 semester hours.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Completion of all fifth-year courses. This course deals with pharmaceutical calculations involved in contemporary pharmacy practice. Special emphasis is placed on improving the skills of pharmacy students and stimulating their thinking in the application of mathematical concepts in contemporary pharmacy practice, e.g., extemporaneous compounding, preparing intravenous admixtures, electrolyte balance, radiopharmaceuticals, calculation of dosage regimen during multiple dosing and calculation of dosage regimen. Lecture, 3 hours. Credit: 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PAS 5202 and all fifth-year courses. As pharmacy students move from school to practice, they may find they are supervising technicians and their peers. This course will help them prepare for their supervisory role by addressing the pharmacy supervisor's foremost concern: planning, controlling, directing and staffing-the four key components of supervision. With case studies and examples, ways to motivate employees, how to bring about change, workplace rules and expectations, reward, discipline, complaints and grievances, this course will enable students to be better enhancers of the environment for optimal patient care. Lecture, 3 hours. Credit: 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: All fifth-year courses. This course will provide students with a fundamental understanding of the general principles of regulatory affairs in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. It will introduce the basic concepts of drug discovery and the drug approval process, foundations of GXP, ethical considerations of scientific inquiry and the regulatory scheme involved. Lecture, 3 hours. Credit: 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PAS 4303, PHR 5201, and all courses taught through fifth year. This course is designed to enhance understanding of the techniques encountered in the practice involving parenteral dosage forms. The state of the art in special equipment, components, and devices necessary to prepare these delivery systems will be studied in detail. This course will provide additional exposure to mathematics as well as the influence of physical and chemical properties of drugs and how they relate to excipient, delivery devices and preparation mechanism. This course will cover topics such as intravenous admixtures (IV Ads), total parenteral nutrition (TPN), irrigation, ophthalmic and other parenteral products, their content, dosing, stability and compatibility. Lecture, 3 hours. Credit: 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CPP 4402 and all required fifthyear courses. The course is designed for those students who seek to enhance their skills in clinical and health care services research and to extend their knowledge in drug literature assessment. The purpose of this course is to provide an adequate working knowledge of SAS and to offer a fundamental base of technical skills for statistical data evaluations. SAS is the most accepted statistical tool in health care research field and has been accepted as an FDA standard for accepting and archiving data sets. The student will learn the strategy and skills in how to prepare, organize, analyze data and interpret the results. Handson experience with real data from a wide variety of applications will be offered to enable students to master the skills needed for effective data management, data analysis and report presentation. Other statistical packages such as SPSS and BMDP will also be discussed. Lecture, 3 hours. Credit: 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PAS 4304 and all required fifthyear courses. This course is designed to review controlled release technology primarily as it relates to medicinal applications. Students will learn about the design, fabrication, methods of controlling release, and theoretical considerations of various classes of drug delivery systems (matrixes, membrane controlled reservoir systems, and bioerodible systems) as well as the application of these systems for various routes of delivery (parenteral, oral, transdermal, nasal, pulmonary, etc.). Lecture, 3 hours. Credit: 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Completion of all fifth-year courses. This course will cover modified release drug delivery systems administered by transdermal, intranasal, ocular and parenteral routes. The major emphasis will be placed on the mechanisms of drug absorption through various routes, pharmacokinetic considerations, physico-chemical characteristics of drugs, and principles involved in the design, development and manufacture of these delivery systems. Specific formulation excipients employed in these delivery systems and physicochemical characteristics desirable from these aids will be discussed. In addition, evaluation of these drug delivery systems, especially in vitro and in vivo evaluation, and their correlation will also be covered. Lecture, 3 hours. Credit: 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PAS 4303, PAS 4304, and all required courses through the fifth year This course deals with the processes involved in development and formulation of pharmaceutical products from their inception to the marketing of dosage forms. Special emphasis is placed on the technology involved in their preparation, bioavailability considerations, and in vitro:in vivo correlation. Lecture, 3 hours. Credit: 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Completion of all required fifthyear courses. This course will cover delivery systems for biotechnology-derived drugs and techniques used to evaluate these delivery systems. The major emphasis will be placed on important aspects utilized in the design and development of delivery systems for biotechnology-derived drug substances, such as peptides and proteins. Novel approaches to deliver gene therapy will also be discussed. In addition, studies such as in vitro drug release studies, cell culture studies used to determine drug absorption, and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies for the evaluation of biotechnologyderived products will be covered. Lecture, 3 hours. Credit: 3 semester hours.
