About the course

Pharmacists take medication histories, identify goals for drug therapy, provide education to patients regarding medications, make recommendations to other health-care providers about drug therapy, and much more. You'll gain the knowledge and skills to provide drug therapy toward improving patient health. The program?s curriculum offers problem-based learning (PBL) and other types of courses, which may include tutorials, lectures, labs, and practical experience in various settings.

　　The pharmacy program delivers course content primarily through problem-based learning (PBL) modules. In the first year of the program, you?ll take courses in biomedical sciences, covering all essential subjects including anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, pharmacology, and physiology.

　　These courses are fully integrated in years two through four, covering not only the scientific side of pharmacy, but also the social. You'll look at such topics as therapeutics, pharmaceutical care, inter-professional relations, law and ethics, social and administrative pharmacy issues, and the role of pharmacy in the health-care system.

　　After completing the prerequisite courses, you are eligible to apply for our undergraduate program. During the four-year program, you will complete courses that will help you understand everything from how drugs get into and work in the body to how to pick the best drug for a patient based on the scientific evidence. You'll also learn how to explain these concepts to patients and other health care providers Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
