PHAR-7331 – PHAR-7353
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 uses an in-depth discussion of recent research on
controversial or cutting-edge topics in perinatal pharmacology. The
course discussions will equip the students with critical thinking
skills necessary to articulate the pharmacological basis for treating
the pregnant women and their babies during prenatal, neonatal,
and postnatal stages of development by applying the basic
concepts in developmental biology and neonatology. Prerequisite;
completion of the P1 and P2 year of the School of Pharmacy or
by approval of the instructor.
PHAR-7342 Law and Legal Affairs
3 hours
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:
