PTP 518Introduction to Pharmacotherapy/Self-Care
This course will guide the student through an interactive approach to self-care with an emphasis on patient assessment and the clinical thought process. The foundation of the patient care process will continue to be emphasized in the pharmacotherapy sequence as well as practiced in the PCW series. An appreciation of the pharmacist's role in self-care will be taught with an emphasis on a patient case problem-solving model to aid in the triaging of patients and self-care therapy selection. Treatment options discussed will include non-pharmacologic therapies, over-the-counter medications, herbal products, and dietary supplements. These OTC and supplements will serve as the backbone for various disease states where pharmacologic therapy is then expanded upon. After completing the course, students will be able to determine if patients are self-care candidates and recommend appropriate self-care therapy. Prerequisite: Doctor of Pharmacy Students.
The Pharmacotherapy sequence is a set of courses that examine therapeutic management of clinical disease states including discussion of clinical pharmacology and pharmacotherapy. Building on concepts learned in Pathophysiology 1 & 2, Molecular Foundations of Drug Action and Pharmacology 1 & 2 Principles of Pharmacology and Medicinal Chemistry, courses in this series are organized by therapeutic area. The PTP520 GI/Nutrition/Endocrine is a 3-credit course focused on the gastrointestinal (GI) and endocrine systems, and the nutritional principles relevant to each of these diseases. Taught by clinical faculty, course content is integrated to promote an analytical understanding of fundamental drug and disease concepts as well as practice-based
The Pharmacotherapy sequence is a set of courses that examine therapeutic management of clinical disease states including discussion of clinical pharmacology and pharmacotherapy. Courses in this series are organized by therapeutic areas. Course content is integrated to promote an analytical understanding of fundamental drug and disease concepts as well as practice-based therapeutics. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based selection of rational therapeutic goals, recommendations, and outcome monitoring while using an integrated knowledge of drug properties and clinical diseases. General knowledge and skills development in this course will prepare students for problem-solving workshops, other courses in the series, experiential education, and pharmacy practice. This course is a prerequisite for the PT Endocrine/Gastrointestinal course (P2 spring) and the PT GU/Nephrology/Toxicology course (P3 fall) based on scaffolded pharmacotherapy learning across various disease states (e.g., Diabetes Mellitus, Chronic Kidney Disease). This course has topics which are sequenced with concurrent learning in select weeks of Pharmacology II (e.g., asthma, COPD, and select Endocrine therapies). This course provides baseline knowledge and skills required for case-based learning in the concurrent Patient Care Workshop 1 (PCW521) required course. Prerequisites: PSC321, PSC322, PSC371, PSC571, PHM518, Doctor of Pharmacy Students.

This course specifically builds on the principles of pathophysiology, immunology, and pharmacology by exploring the clinical features and pharmacotherapeutic treatment of infectious diseases. PTP-ID is a 3-credit course focused on the pharmacotherapeutic treatment of infectious diseases. Building on concepts learned in Physiology/Pathophysiology I & II, Pharmacology II, and concurrently with Immunology, this course discusses the spectrum of activity and appropriate use of antimicrobials. With a basis in antimicrobial stewardship principles, PTP- ID explores the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of common bacterial, fungal, and viral infectious diseases.
This course focuses on kidney disease and the genitourinary system and examines therapeutic management of clinical disease states. Building on concepts learned within prior coursework, courses in this series are organized by therapeutic area (e.g. chronic kidney disease, acute kidney disease or injury, drug dosing in kidney disease, and genitourinary conditions are the topics of focus within this course). Course content promotes an analytical understanding of fundamental drug and disease concepts as well as practice-based therapeutics. Emphasis is placed
The Pharmacotherapy sequence is a set of courses that examine therapeutic management of clinical disease states including discussion of clinical pharmacology and pharmacotherapy. Building on concepts learned in Pathophysiology 1 & 2, Molecular Foundations of Drug Action and Pharmacology 1 & 2 Principles of Pharmacology and Medicinal Chemistry, courses in this series are organized by therapeutic area. Using both a lecture and patient case-based format, this module will emphasize evidence-based selection of therapeutic and supportive care management, patient-centered pharmaceutical care-based recommendations, and managing complex disease states and patients. In addition, this module will expand students' patient assessment skills, patient outcome monitoring, documentation of patient centered care plans, and patient counseling. Skill development in this course will prepare students for integrated problem-solving workshops, experiential education, and pharmacy practice. Prerequisite: PSC371, PSC372, PSC321, PSC322, PSC312, PSC315, PTP518, PTP520, Doctor of Pharmacy Students.
Is a 4-credit course that explores a range of neurologic and psychiatric conditions. It builds upon foundational knowledge from prior pathophysiology and pharmacology courses. Emphasis is placed on principles of neuropharmacology, psychopharmacology, evidence-based treatment guidelines, and clinical decision-making. Students will learn to select appropriate medications by balancing efficacy with the individual patient's physiological, personal, and social factors. Prerequisites: PSC321, PSC322, PSC369, PSC371, PTP518, Doctor of Pharmacy students.
