This course series integrates knowledge from multiple disciplines in the curriculum and provides a chance for students to apply this knowledge while developing their communication skills, including health literacy, cultural competency, prescription drug processing and drug information foundations, as well as their professional attitudes for utilization during subsequent coursework in Applied Patient Care, experiential education (IPPEs) and pharmacy practice. This accomplished through case studies and patient care simulations that focus on basic science, pharmaceutical science, clinical science, and patient care concepts in one course.
