CURRICULUM

- The College emphasizes a patient-oriented approach to pharmacy practice, stressing communication skills, problembased learning, and practical experience.
- The curriculum features early clinical rotations, allowing students to visit community and institutional sites one day a week during their first year of the program.
- The design of the rotations is integrated, so students are introduced to practical pharmacy experience while they are taking didactic course work.
