CURRICULUM

• The curriculum is composed of two didactic years followed by one clinical clerkship year. During the first two academic years, students will spendone day every other week in a patient care pharmacy setting gaining experience that supports the classroom material.
• The curriculum is based on a modified-block design that allows the sequential delivery of courses rather than the more traditional method of teaching multiple courses concurrently. Students are not assigned letter grades in the curriculum but are instead assigned either a �pass� or �no-pass� based on achievement of 90% of stated competencies.
• Students are assessed every two weeks during the first 2 years of the curriculum. Students who do not achieve the necessary level of competence are given opportunities for extended learning. Extended learning opportunities follow each assessment and during a dedicated period in the summer.
• The curriculum places an emphasis on integration of knowledge, critical thinking, and utilization of evidence based principles.
