Curriculum Breadth, Depth, and Structure
The professional pharmacy curriculum is designed to develop in graduates the knowledge, skills, abilities,
behaviors, and attitudes necessary to apply the foundational sciences to the provision of patient‐centered
care. We accomplish this goal in several ways. First, our Program‐Level Ability‐Based Outcomes (ABOs) detail
educational outcomes of our PharmD program (Appendix 1A). The educational outcomes reflect
competencies deemed essential for an entry‐level pharmacist in any setting to practice collaboratively as a
member of an interprofessional team, provide patient‐centered care, contribute to the health of diverse
patient populations, demonstrate leadership, and effectively manage a complex work environment. The
curriculum offers multiple longitudinal opportunities for students to develop competency in each of the
3
ABOs; ensuring they have the knowledge base and practice skills necessary to be “APPE‐Ready”, “Team‐
Ready”, and “Practice‐Ready” (Appendix 1B). Second, fundamental biomedical, pharmaceutical,
social/behavioral/administrative, and clinical science content is integrated throughout the curriculum to
reinforce and apply foundational knowledge to the delivery of quality patient care (Appendix 1C). Third,
foundational science content is delivered to students using a scaffolding approach such that essential
knowledge is sequenced from introduced, reinforced, practiced, applied, and mastered to ensure
competency at the time of graduation (Appendix 1C). Fourth, student achievement of course‐based learning
outcomes is assessed using a variety of methods including formative and summative assessment methods.
ExamSoft technology is used to administer course‐based assessments in most courses and facilitates this
process. Lastly, student achievement of programmatic outcomes (e.g. ABOs) is evaluated by triangulating
course‐based assessment results with external assessments such as the Pharmacy Curriculum Outcomes
Assessment (PCOA), preceptor evaluations of students during experiential rotations, standardized AACP
surveys from graduating students, alumni, and preceptors, and NAPLEX / MJPE licensing success rates.
Integration of Foundational Sciences
Foundational science content is threaded longitudinally throughout the curriculum allowing sufficient
opportunities for students to develop and apply pharmacy knowledge to evaluate scientific drug literature,
explain drug action, solve therapeutic problems, and advance population and patient‐centered care.
Biomedical Sciences. Basic biomedical science content is introduced in pre‐pharmacy required courses with
the exception of immunology and pathophysiology which are P1 courses. The biomedical sciences forms the
foundation for the rest of the curriculum and it is reinforced, applied, and mastered as students progress
longitudinally through the curriculum.
Pharmaceutical and Clinical Sciences. Our curricular model was deliberately chosen to facilitate sequencing
foundational knowledge acquisition, reinforcement, practice, application, and mastery of content. To
accomplish this, pharmacodynamics and pharmacology of drug therapy is introduced and reinforced in one
semester followed by application and practice in the associated pharmacotherapy course taught the next
semester. Core foundational topics are again reinforced in Pharmacotherapy Capstone (PHRM 580), a P3
course in which students are expected to demonstrate mastery. Integration by this fashion ensures continuity
of instruction, enhances knowledge retention, and application to patient‐centered care. To illustrate,
pharmacodynamics of cardiovascular medications is “introduced” in PSCI 414 during the fall semester of the
P2 year, “reinforced” and “practiced” in PHRM 452L Pharmacy Practice Lab that same semester, “applied” in
PHRM 538 Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Pharmacotherapy spring semester of the P2 year, and “mastered”
in PHRM 580 Pharmacotherapy Capstone in the P3 year.
Social and Administrative Sciences. The social and administrative sciences are also integrated throughout the
curriculum. Students are required to complete several social and administrative sciences courses as pre‐
professional students, including Principles of Microeconomics (ECON 201) and Critical Thinking and Academic
Success (CHP 190). First year professional students complete Introduction to Health Systems (PHRM 352),
which provides an introduction to salient aspects of the U.S. health care system that apply to pharmacy, an
introduction to health professionals, health economics, health outcomes research, health insurance, and
formulary design. Second year professional students complete Interprofessional Health Care Practice (CHP
4
400) applying content from PHRM 352 to emphasize patient‐centered health care and how pharmacists play
an integral role in patient‐centered care.
Third year professional students complete 4 social and administrative pharmacy courses. Pharmacy
Management (PHRM 475) encompasses the administrative aspects of managing pharmacy resources. Public
Health for Pharmacists (PHRM 540) details pharmacist contributions to assessing and improving population
health. Practice Improvement and Project Management (PHRM 570) focuses on the tools necessary to assess
the efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of clinical practice and how to use those tools to improve both the
quality of patient care and the financial viability of the practice. The intent of PHRM 570 is to support, from
a social and administrative sciences perspective, higher order learning. Lastly, during the third professional
year, students complete Pharmacy Law and Ethics (PHRM 572).
P1 Year
During the first professional year, foundational knowledge in pharmaceutics (PSCI 368/369), pathophysiology
(PHRM 340/341), pharmaceutical calculations (PSCI 367), pharmacokinetics (PSCI 411 and 470),
biotechnology (PSCI 410), and drug literature evaluation (PHRM 480) are introduced. These courses provide
a variety of instructional and assessment methods to ensure students achieve the ABO’s. Example
assessment methods include demonstrating physical assessment skill proficiency (PHRM 340), written
evaluations of drug literature (PHRM 480), and use of audience response technology in the pharmaceutics
course series (PSCI 368 and 369). P1 students have demonstrated competence in foundational knowledge
with overall average scores on summative assessments in didactic courses ranging from 78 – 84% with greater
than 87% of students meeting or exceeding the benchmark = 70% during the last 3 years (Appendix 1D).
Didactic courses taken fall semester prepare students for Pharmacy Practice Laboratory I (PHRM 351L) where
they learn the foundations of medication dispensing and consultation, sterile compounding and nonsterile
compounding. During Pharmacy Practice Laboratory I, foundational knowledge is reinforced and students
apply principles learned in pharmaceutical calculations, pharmaceutics, and drug literature evaluation to
calculate drug doses, evaluate appropriate therapy, and compound a medication. To formally assess skills
development in Pharmacy Practice Laboratory I, students are given a practical examination at the end of the
semester. The average student score is consistently over 90% with greater than 98% of students meeting or
exceeding the benchmark (Appendix 1D). Didactic courses and the practice lab effectively prepare students
to enter IPPE I – Institutional (PHRM 355) during the summer following the P1 year as evidenced by
preceptors consistently rating our students above average in foundational knowledge during the last 3 years
(Appendix 1D).
P2 Year
During the second professional year, students continue to expand and apply their foundational knowledge
of drug mechanisms of action in the pharmacodynamics course series and their first pharmacotherapy
courses. Students are also provided opportunities to further develop and practice their skills related to sterile
and nonsterile compounding, pharmaceutical calculations, and drug information during Pharmacy Practice
Laboratory II (PHRM 452L) and during their community pharmacy IPPE II (PHRM 455). P2 students
consistently demonstrate competence in the area of foundational knowledge as evidenced by over 90% of
5
students meeting or achieving the benchmark summative assessment average score in didactic, lab, and
experiential courses (Appendix 1D).
P3 Year
In the third professional year, students finish their pharmacotherapy courses and apply foundational
knowledge in Pharmacotherapy Lab (PHRM 545L) and Pharmacy Practice Labs III/IV (PHRM 551L/552L).
Pharmacotherapy Lab (545L) was a recent addition to the curriculum to enhance application of foundational
knowledge, critical thinking, and clinical reasoning. In this course, students must apply foundational
knowledge from pathophysiology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, medicinal chemistry and
pharmacotherapy to complete weekly problem‐based and patient‐case exercises. In Public Health for
Pharmacists (PHRM 540), students work in pairs under the guidance of a faculty mentor to prepare a poster
highlighting pharmacy contributions to public health and present their work at a poster symposium.
Pharmacotherapy Capstone (PHRM 580) follows in the final spring semester of the P3 year where students
are expected to demonstrate mastery in applying the foundational sciences to patient‐centered care. The
most recent student learning outcome assessment results show P3 students achieved an overall average of
84% or greater on all summative assessments of foundational knowledge with 98 – 100% of them meeting
or exceeding the benchmark of 70% (Appendix 1D).
Triangulated Assessment Results
Student learning outcome assessment results for foundational knowledge described above are triangulated
with results from other direct and indirect assessment measures such as the Pharmacy Curriculum Outcomes
Assessment (PCOA), preceptor evaluation of students on their Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences
(APPE), AACP Curriculum Quality Survey responses, and performance on national standardized licensing
exams.
PCOA. NDSU students take the PCOA in late January or early February of their P3 year. We offer no incentives
or prep courses. Rather, we inform students it is their professional responsibility to take the exam seriously
and perform to the best of their ability. Student scores rank higher than the 50th percentile of the national
results from 2016‐2019. NDSU students’ mean scaled score has also been consistently higher than the
national/reference group mean scaled score each year during the same time frame. (Appendix 1E)
APPE Preceptor Evaluation of Students. The overall mean preceptor evaluation score for foundational
knowledge achieved by NDSU P4 students is above average (4.0) with over 98% of students meeting or
achieving the benchmark of 3.0 (average) for the last 3 years (Appendix 1D).
AACP Survey Results. Results of from the AACP Curriculum Quality Surveys for graduating students,
preceptors, and alumni to questions pertinent for foundational knowledge compared to national public
schools are depicted in the table below. In all instances with the exception of the alumni survey in 2016‐2017,
the percent of individuals affiliated with NDSU responding “strongly agree” or “agree” exceeds that of all
national public schools. Although there was a slightly higher incidence of disagreement among NDSU alumni
for questions 14‐16 compared to national public schools, the slight difference wasn’t alarming. This
interpretation of the data is further supported when looking at our preceptor and student survey results
related to this standard.
6
NAPLEX. For the past three years our first‐time NAPLEX pass rates have been higher than the national
average (Figure 1.1) and score at or above the national average in both competency areas (Appendix 1F).
With the roll out of the new accreditation standards 2016 the school requires all graduating students to take
the pre‐NAPLEX exam (which was paid for by the school) and provide the results to the program. If students
do not pass the pre‐NAPLEX they submit to the Senior Associate Dean a performance improvement plan to
ensure success on the NAPLEX.

Scaled Scores: The scaled scores take into account the difficulty of the items in the major content areas. Scaled scores range from 0 to 700 and can be compared across test administrations. Scaled scores can also be compared between the major content areas, such that a student scoring 200 on Pharmaceutical Sciences and 250 on Basic Sciences demonstrated greater proficiency in Basic Sciences than Pharmaceutical Sciences
Normed Reference Group: The normed reference group consists of a large, national, diverse group of students from United States colleges/schools of pharmacy. Based on data from 2017 through 2018, the norm group consists of approximately 19,271 students that collectively generalize to the population of pharmacy students. The use of reference groups in score reporting permits meaningful comparisons between the performances of current examinees to the performance of a national representative group.
Percentile for Program Year: The percentile rank indicates the standing of NDSU’s average student in the normed reference group. For example, if the school’s percentile rank for third-year students is 60, this implies that the average third-year student at NDSU performed equally or better than 60% of all other third-year students in the normed reference group.
