Fourth and Fifth Years
The courses in the fourth and fifth years are the core of preparation for professional practice in pharmacy. For three semesters, you will learn material from pharmacy, pharmacology, pathophysiology, therapeutics, medicinal chemistry, kinetics, herbal and over-the-counter therapies. Professors will cooperate to present the material to you in an integrated way organized around organ systems. During these years, you will also begin the process of developing a specialty area in pharmacy by selecting an elective track from subjects like osteoporosis, immunizations, nuclear pharmacy, nutritional support, pharmacotherapy, pharmacy management and diabetes management. Before the you enter the fifth year, 120 additional hours of contact time with a health professional is required. An additional 120 hours is required before you can begin your senior professional experiences.
