Page 64 2016–17 Graduate Academic Catalog Graduate-Level Course Descriptions 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 student’s learning. The course will consist of didactic sessions, workshops, live case consults, and presentations. Prerequisites: P3 standing. 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; PHAR-6132 Integrated Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology; PHAR-6134 Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics; PHAR-6250 Applied 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 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 team-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-6131 Pharmaceutical Sciences; PHAR-6132 Integrated Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology; PHAR-6133 Genetics and Pharmacogenomics; PHAR-6134 Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics; PHAR-6150 Drug Information and Informatics.
