Pharmacy - Hampton University

Pharmacy from Hampton University is a Campus Bachelor Pharmacy degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. The pharmacy program is based on the premise that the ultimate goal of pharmacy is to render pharmaceutical care (defined as the full range of skills, knowledge, abilities, and empathy integrated to provide appropriate medication services to patients). The curriculum emphasizes this concept by providing knowledge and practice in the areas of preventive medicine, primary care for the pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations. The first three years of the professional curriculum are a mixture of didactics, laboratory, recitations, simulations, and practical experiences. Courses in basic pharmaceutical sciences (e.g., pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, and pharmacology) and the clinical sciences (e.g., pharmacotherapeutics, applied pharmacokinetics, and immunology) are taught using lecture, case studies, presentations, hands-on experience and technology. Each student at the professional level has a laptop computer. Students are encouraged to use the technology offered by the computer to enhance their learning. 1. The curriculum incorporates introductory and advanced pharmacy practice experiences. 2. In order to participate in these experiential experiences all students must undergo a background check and drug screening prior to the end of the P1 and P2 years, and again during the spring semester of the P3 year. 3. The P4 year is devoted to advanced practice experiences in a variety of clinical sites including clinics, and hospital pharmacies. 4.
