Graduate-Level Course Descriptions
PHAR-7321 – PHAR-7352
PHAR-7321 Pain Management
2 hours
This course will provide an in-depth, case-based, problem-
solving approach to pain management in patients with both acute
and chronic pain. Students will be guided by a faculty facilitator
through various types of complex pain patients. Students will
develop a working knowledge of opioid dosing and titration,
adjuvant medications, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and
non-pharmacologoic therapy. Students will be provided with a
list of resources to assist them in their application of therapeutic
principles to pain patients. The content of this course will be
significantly more in-depth than the core curriculum requirements
of pain management. Prerequisites: good standing in P2 or P3
year in the School of Pharmacy. (odd years)
PHAR-7331 Industrial Pharmacy
2 hours
This course will discuss fundamental principles of Good
Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in the pharmaceutical industry.
The course will introduce the GMP principles and approaches
for active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients and finished
pharmaceuticals that are applicable in day-to-day operations
of the industry. In addition, the course will also study the
history, the science, and the laws behind GMP that ensure
high-quality operation and maintenance of a pharmaceutical
industry. Prerequisites: good standing in P1 and P2 year in
the School of Pharmacy; PHAR-6130 Medicinal Biochemistry;
PHAR-6131 Pharmaceutical Sciences I; PHAR-6132
Pharmaceutical Sciences II; PHAR-6134 Pharmacokinetics and
Biopharmaceutics
PHAR-7332 Perinatal Pharmacology
2 hours
This course will take an in-depth view of the fetal and
intrauterine pharmacology and provides scientific basis for
the effect of drugs on fetus. The course will explain the basic
concepts together with experimental evidence on metabolism and
distribution of drugs in the placenta, effect of drugs on placental
metabolism, and biochemical and behavioral effects on infants
when drugs are administered during perinatal period. Prerequisite;
good standing in P1 and P2 year in the School of Pharmacy;
PHAR-6130 Medicinal Biochemistry; PHAR-6131 Pharmaceutical
Sciences I; PHAR-6132 Pharmaceutical Sciences II; PHAR-6134
Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics.
PHAR-7342 Law and Legal Affairs
1 hour
This course will introduce students to the U.S. legal system,
and specifically the systems by which laws and rules related to
the practice of pharmacy are created/promulgated, including
the bodies of regulators responsible for such activities (e.g.,
federal and state legislatures, state boards of pharmacy, DEA,
FDA). The course will subsequently focus on the laws and rules
governing the practice of pharmacy in the state of Ohio as a guide
to understanding the same across the nation. Case law will be
used to demonstrate the tensions and limitations of current laws
and rules in the context of contemporary practice, particularly
considering ethical dilemmas in pharmacy practice. Prerequisites:
P3 in good standing in the School of Pharmacy; PHAR-6110

Experience IV; PHAR-7353 Leadership and Business Module.
PHAR-7346 Bioethics
3 hours
This course will explore the philosophical and theological
foundations for professional, biomedical, and clinical ethics. Using
case studies on different issues like contraception, abortion,
euthanasia, personhood, and research ethics, this course will
discuss and analyze them from different worldviews and contrast
them with a biblical worldview. Prerequisites: good standing
in P2 year in the School of Pharmacy; PHAR-6130 Medicinal
Biochemistry; PHAR-6131 Pharmaceutical Sciences I; PHAR-

Sciences Module.
PHAR-7348 Research Seminar
2 hours
This course will introduce the student to professional research
projects. The research project will be developed in concert with
a member of the faculty, and will examine any valid pharmacy
research question. Each student will be required to submit their
project for a poster at a professional session. Prerequisites:

Care and Safety.
PHAR-7351 Neurology and Psychiatry Module
5 hours
This course prepares the student to manage therapy of
patients with conditions or diseases affecting the neurologic
system and psychiatric disorders. The course focuses on the
application of principles through a mixture of problem-based
learning in small group settings, simulation and demonstration
labs, and expert consultations in a team-taught, multidisciplinary
environment. The course vertically integrates pharmacology,
medicinal chemistry, pharmacokinetics, anatomy, physiology
and pathophysiology, therapeutics, patient assessment,
epidemiology, and administrative and psychosocial-behavioral
issues involved in patient care. Over-the-counter, prescription,
herbal and nontraditional therapies, and non-drug therapies are
specifically included. Prerequisites: PHAR-6111 Research Design
and Methodology; PHAR-6130 Medicinal Biochemistry; PHAR-
