 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 

Page 3: 1: Foundational Knowledge: The professional program leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy ... · 2020-01-21 · 1 Standard No. 1: Foundational Knowledge: The professional program leading

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

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 

Page 5: 1: Foundational Knowledge: The professional program leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy ... · 2020-01-21 · 1 Standard No. 1: Foundational Knowledge: The professional program leading

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.

 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.
