HPU’s School of Pharmacy has taken a unique integrative approach in the design of the professional curriculum. The blending of basic and clinical sciences and the applicationbased learning experiences are designed to consolidate information into patient-oriented actions that will create a rich learning environment for students. The close collaboration of faculty throughout the curriculum results in basic pharmaceutical science material (i.e. medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and pharmaceutics) being taught in parallel with corresponding clinical content and joined together throughout the curriculum by application-based courses. This curricular design and faculty collaboration drives the integration of the basic pharmaceutical sciences and the applied clinical sciences, helping students assimilate all aspects of their training into patient care plans. Curricular electives will be provided in the form of certificate programs designed to create deep knowledge expertise of selected disease states while teaching a process of learning that can be used throughout the student’s professional career.
