PHAR-7331 – PHAR-7351
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; PHAR-6132 Integrated Medicinal
Chemistry and Pharmacology; 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 Module
2 hours
This course will introduce students to the systems (legislative
and regulatory bodies, both state and federal) by which laws
and regulations related to the practice of pharmacy are created
and/or promulgated, and establish an understanding regarding
the historical framework of present laws and regulations. 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. Finally, the course
will introduce students to, and engage them in, the regulation
enforcement and disciplinary roles of the Ohio Board of Pharmacy.
Prerequisites: P3 in good standing in the School of Pharmacy.
PHAR-7343
3 hours
Miscellaneous Topics and Special Populations Module
This course prepares the student to manage therapy
of patients with special medication needs (e.g., geriatrics,
pediatrics, immunologic complications). The course focuses
on the application of principles through team-based learning.
This is complemented with 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 psycho-social-
behavioral issues involved in patient care. Over-the-counter,
prescription, herbal and nontraditional therapies, and nondrug
therapies are specifically included. Additional miscellaneous
disease states will be covered in this course.
Prerequisites: P3
standing.
PHAR-7344 Advanced Bioethics
2 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: P3 standing.
PHAR-7345 Advanced Drug Information
1 hour
The advanced drug information course will focus primarily on
institutional drug information concepts and individual projects.
The course is designed to enhance students’ knowledge through
mastery of drug information concepts. Emphasis will be placed
on assessment of individual student’s ability and mastery of
drug information concepts and skills. A variety of pedagogical
methods and activities will be utilized within the course to enhance

Biomedical Sciences Module.
PHAR-7348 Research Seminar
2 hours
This research seminar course will discuss topics of current
interest in foundational sciences, professional practice, and social
and administrative sciences. The course content will consist of
paper discussions, invited lectures, student presentations and
short written assignments. Student presentations will be based
on original research conducted during the first two years of the
professional pharmacy program under the guidance of a faculty
advisor.
Prerequisites: completion of P1 and P2 year of the
School of Pharmacy or by approval of the instructor.
PHAR-7351 Neurology and Psychiatry Module
