14 courses with the subject SPC, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
SPC 4401Structures and Function in Therapeutics, : This course is designed to provide the student2.0
with the fundamental knowledge of the general structure and function of the human body. A brief introduction to basic cell structure, tissues, human development, and physiological control mechanisms & membrane transport is given at the beginning of the course to help the student acquire a better understanding of human anatomy and physiology. Instruction using the systemic approach has been adopted for this course. This method provides a better correlation between the tissues and organs and their functions of a particular system and between the systems themselves. A systemic approach also promotes the understanding of the structure and function of the human body. The lectures are designed to give the student fundamental and essential knowledge of the human body’s various organ systems. Slide projections, power point presentations, computer simulations and lecture outlines are used as teaching aids in this course. Work in the laboratory provides students with the opportunity to study prosecuted cadaver materials, anatomical models, and physiological applications. Students are further guided by printed laboratory organization and objectives. Prerequisites: enrollment in pharmacy school 3+4 program. The course is completed at pharmacy school. 155

SPC 4403Pharmaceutical Calculations I, : This course is an introductory development course2.0
Quantitative skills necessary for an understanding of the thirty-seven basic and clinical pharmaceutical sciences will be explored. Various techniques necessary in pharmaceutical calculations employed by the pharmacist in formulation, compounding, manufacturing, and dispensing of medications will be discussed. The course will also provide the student with the development of skills to recognize errors in prescribing in both oral and written medication orders, basic patient and professional staff communication and basic patient data collection skills. Common equipment and pharmaceutical dosing devices available in various simulated practice settings will be introduced. Prerequisites: enrollment in pharmacy school 3+4 program. The course is completed at pharmacy school.
SPC 4404Drug Informatics, : This course refers to the application of technology in the delivery of3.0
drug information services. Drug information services, in turn, include responding to drug information inquiries, conducting medication use evaluations, and participating in medication quality assurance programs, such as monitoring adverse drug reactions, drug and herbal product interactions, and medications errors. This course is intended to introduce students to drug information skills required to deliver pharmaceutical care. Students will be trained to develop the skills to obtain information from various literature and reference sources to answer drug information questions efficiently. Techniques for researching and evaluating drug literature will be covered. Emphasis will be placed on systemic response formulation approaches using verbal and written communication skills. Prerequisites: enrollment in pharmacy school 3+4 program. The course is completed at pharmacy school.
SPC 4405Professional Practice and Readiness, : This course utilizes principles of team building2.0
and case-based learning to develop student understanding of the practical aspects of contemporary pharmacy practice. Instructors will introduce students to the Pharmacist’s Patient Care Process (PPCP), covering the first three steps in the five-step process. Emphasis will be placed on both the verbal and written communication skills needed to interact with a variety of patients and across health care disciplines. Heavy focus will be placed on navigating the outpatient pharmacy setting, which involves acquiring preliminary knowledge about prescription handling and inventory management, as well as applied knowledge of OTC products and the most utilized prescription drugs. In addition, students will learn patient-counseling techniques, and develop basic physical assessment and clinical writing skills. Prerequisites: enrollment in pharmacy school 3+4 program. The course is completed at pharmacy school.
SPC 4406Pharmaceutical Chemistry I, : The course deals with the study and application of physio3.0
chemical properties and the relationship between chemical structure and pharmacological activities of organic medicinal agents of natural and synthetic origin. Prerequisites: enrollment in pharmacy school 3+4 program. The course is completed at pharmacy school.
SPC 4407Application in Pharmacy Practice I, : The course will be co-coordinated by clinical and1.0
basic science faculty, who will provide instruction utilizing both didactic and practical teaching modalities. The applications for pharmacy practice I course is the first in a longitudinal series of courses meant to fully integrate knowledge and skills acquired from each course running during the same semester. It aims to incorporate the entrust able professional activities (EPAs), which emphasize practical applications for being a clinical pharmacist, using interactive and case-based learning activities during scheduled 3-hour sessions. Students will learn the purpose of the material taught in each course and how it may be applied in practice-based real-world scenarios.

SPC 4408Pharmaceutics, : The course's design is based on the integration of physicochemical4.0
principles of pharmacy with formulation and preparation of pharmaceutical dosage forms. The integration is done within each main class of pharmaceutical dosage forms. The study of the physicochemical principles of pharmacy serves as a prologue to the materials covered in each section. Then the application of the knowledge of the physicochemical principles of pharmacy to the rational formulation, preparation/compounding, quality control, stability, packaging, and storage of pharmaceutical dosage forms follows directly after the study of the 156
SPC 4409Pharmacological Therapeutics II, : This is a continuation of Pharmacological3.0
Therapeutics I. The course deals with the study and application of physio-chemical properties and the relationship between chemical structure and pharmacological activities of organic medicinal agents of natural and synthetic origin. Prerequisites: enrollment in pharmacy school 3+4 program. The course is completed at pharmacy school.
SPC 4410Pharmaceutical Chemistry II, : This is a continuation of Pharmaceutical Chemistry I4.0
The course deals with the study and application of physio-chemical properties and the relationship between chemical structure and pharmacological activities of organic medicinal agents of natural and synthetic origin.
enrollment in pharmacy school 3+4 program. The course is completed at pharmacy school.
SPC 4411Physio-Chemical Principles of Pharmacy, : Drug action is dependent on a range of2.0
physio-chemical principles. These relate not only to the drug substance, or active pharmaceutical ingredient, but also to the excipients used in the production of the dosage form. An understanding of these physio-chemical principles affords a better understanding of drug action, and an appreciation of the factors that may influence such drug action. Course work and laboratory exercises relating to physio-chemical principles are not part of the pharmacy curriculum since the emphasis is on the clinical aspects. However, this course has been designed to provide a basic understanding of the factors involved. Numerous examples will be discussed during class, which may also include a laboratory demonstration. The latter affords students the opportunity to observe certain effects where physio-chemical principles play a role. Prerequisites: enrollment in pharmacy school 3+4 program. The course is completed at pharmacy school.
SPC 4412Pharmacy Care, : This course is an introductory development course. Quantitative skills3.0
necessary for an understanding of the thirty-seven basic and clinical pharmaceutical sciences will be explored.
