Principles of Research and Evidence-Based Medicine in Pharmacy Practice will advance students' understanding of the research process and application of evidence-based medicine to patient care. The course will aim to provide students mastery in foundational aspects of research and scholarship, including how to formulate a hypothesis-driven research question, basic study design considerations in research, and the use of descriptive and inferential statistics in biomedical research.

The primary goal of this course is to prepare pharmacy students to accurately assess patient status, identify potential problems and diagnoses based upon symptomatic complaints, and recommend the most appropriate course of action. Emphasis will be placed on clinical problem identification and therapeutic decision-making. Students will develop proficiency in systems screening, differential interviewing strategies, risk factors, and red-flag recognition.

This course will describe the pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, pathophysiology, and therapeutics associated with commonly encountered psychiatric disorders, so that students can design and manage drug- related care plans for patients with these disease states.

This course will describe the pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, pathophysiology, and therapeutics associated with of hematological and oncological illnesses so that students can design and manage drug- related care plans for patients with these disease states.

The course is designed to provide Chemical Engineering students in the Biopharmaceutical Engineering Certificate program with the fundamental concepts underlying the disciplines and research as related to the development and use of drugs. These concepts will be taught from the perspective of the design, analysis and interpretation data from preclinical (T0) to clinical trials (T1, T2) to therapeutic practice (T3) and translating these into communities (T4).

This course covers the various tasks performed by cell components and the mechanisms used to integrate their actions. The course also covers the chemistry of biomolecules that are essential for structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells including discussions of drug metabolism, energy generation, and information storage and transmission.

The goal of this course is to introduce students to the biochemical principles of fuel metabolism (physiological chemistry) of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, and the application of these processes to relevant therapeutic targets.

Fundamental concepts associated with all disciplines of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the development and utilization of drugs, taught from the perspective of the design, analysis, and interpretation of data including from preclinical, clinical, practice, and patient and community outcomes research.

Discussion and presentations of foundation or current literature and emerging topics in pharmaceutical sciences. Topics vary by section. May be repeated to a maximum of 5 credit hours.

This course deals with emerging concepts in pharmaceutical sciences which are not being covered in other courses. May be repeated to a maximum of 24 hours.
