Doctor of Pharmacy Program Curriculum
The goal of the Lipscomb University College of Pharmacy curriculum supports the College’s mission to provide an educational experience that demands academic excellence in the classroom and the practice setting coupled with an ongoing demonstration of Christian values. Through a combination of educational experiences ranging from basic science coursework to direct patient interactions, these curricular experiences will prepare student pharmacists to:
- Optimize medication outcomes in an ethical and compassionate manner;
- Satisfy pre-licensure requirements of Boards of Pharmacy;
- Develop student pharmacists into effective practitioners with excellent patient care skills;
- Manage ethical, cultural, and socioeconomic challenges the student pharmacist will encounter throughout everyday practice.
In supporting the College’s mission, we envision our graduates:
- Demonstrating their professional skills in patient medication management and safety, patient education and communications, business acumen, and scholarly activities;
- Demonstrating attitudes and values that are consistent with the values of our College;
- Displaying a commitment to life-long learning; professionalism in their daily activities; integrity in their walk of life; respect for their patients, peers, and the profession;
- Providing service back to the community locally, regionally, and internationally.
