Page 62 2017–18 Graduate Academic Catalog Graduate-Level Course Descriptions PHAR-6172 – PHAR-6260 PHAR-6172 1 hour Community Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience II Community Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE-II) in the first year of the professional curriculum is designed to provide opportunities for students to practice technical pharmacy skills in community settings. Students in Community IPPE-II will meet with an assigned preceptor for five hour periods throughout the semester, totaling 50 contact hours. Students will demonstrate core practice skills: communication, calculations, ethics, medication safety, managing resources, wellness, health promotion, technology, informatics, and critical thinking. Prerequisite: P1 or approval of instructor. PHAR-6210 2 hours Cross-Cultural Care and Communication This course utilizes a cross-cultural framework to communicate principles of healthy living and provide patient care to different people groups. The course emphasizes the application of biblical basis for missions in providing patient care across different cultures with a genuine respect for the specific culture involved. In addition, this course introduces the design, implementation, and evaluation of health communication programs. Prerequisites: good standing in P1 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-6211 Medication Therapy Management 2 hours This course will provide the student with an in-depth, working knowledge of Medicare Part D, with an emphasis on Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Services. Through self-study modules, case studies, and hands-on patient interview and assessment practice sessions, students will strengthen existing skills needed to develop and implement MTM services in community pharmacies. Prerequisites: good standing in P2 or P3 year in the School of Pharmacy. (odd years) PHAR-6231 Exotoxicology 2 hours This course explores the current understanding related to different interactions of substances and chemicals in environmental systems and subsystems on their bioavailability, circulation, and assimilation in target organisms as well as their physiological and pathophysiological responses. In addition, this course will examine the mechanisms and processes by which chemicals exert their effects on ecosystems and their ultimate impact on the populations or communities. Prerequisites: good standing in P1 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-6240 Applied Biomedical Sciences Module 3 hours This course will cover the pathophysiology, management, and drug therapy of conditions related to electrolyte and fluid imbalance, enteral and parenteral nutrition as well as anemias. The knowledge gained will enable the student to manage electrolyte and fluid disorders and anemias, establish and employ rational treatment, and provide parameters to monitor progress of the regimens. This course also will cover tools to effectively assess therapy including interpretation of laboratory values. Prerequisites: P2 or approval of instructor. PHAR-6241 Renal Module 3 hours This course prepares the student to manage therapy of patients with conditions or diseases affecting the kidneys. The course focuses on the application of principles through a mixture of learning in small-group settings, simulation and demonstration labs, and expert consultations in a team-taught, multidisciplinary environment. The course vertically integrates basic pharmaceutical sciences with therapeutics, patient assessment, epidemiology, and psycho-social-behavioral issues involved in the care of renal patients. Prerequisites: P2 or approval of instructor. PHAR-6242 Gastrointestinal Module 3 hours This course prepares the student to manage therapy of patients with conditions or diseases affecting the gastrointestinal system. The course focuses on the application of principles through a mixture of problem-based learning in small-group settings, simulations, 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- behaviorial issues involved in patient care. Over-the-counter, prescription, herbal and nontraditional therapies, and nondrug therapies are specifically included. Prerequisites: P2 or approval of instructor. PHAR-6243 Cardiology I Module 3 hours This course prepares the student to manage therapy of patients with conditions or diseases affecting the cardiovascular system. The course focuses on the application of principles through a mixture of learning in small-group settings, simulation and demonstration labs, and expert consultations in a team-taught, multidisciplinary environment. The course vertically integrates basic pharmaceutical sciences with therapeutics, patient assessment, epidemiology, and administrative and psycho-social- behavioral issues involved in the care of cardiovascular patients. Prerequisites: P2 or approval of instructor. PHAR-6244 Cardiology II Module 3 hours This course prepares the student to manage therapy of patients with conditions or diseases affecting the cardiovascular system. The course focuses on the application of principles through a mixture of learning in small-group settings, simulation and demonstration labs, and expert consultations in a team-taught, multidisciplinary environment. The course vertically integrates basic pharmaceutical sciences with therapeutics, patient assessment, epidemiology, and administrative and psycho-social- behavioral issues involved in the care of cardiovascular patients. Prerequisites: P2 or approval of instructor. PHAR-6260 Patient Care and Safety 2 hours This course provides an introduction to patient assessment. Topics include taking a medical history and review of systems, cultural competency, health literacy, interpretation of laboratory and diagnostic tests, documentation of patient care activities and writing progress notes, therapeutic plan development, and patient safety issues. Prerequisite: P2 or approval of instructor.
