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.
