Apply patient- and population-specific data, quality assurance strategies, and
research processes to identify and resolve public health problems, develop drug
use and public health policy, and to design pharmacy benefits.
Assess the health needs of a specific patient population by analyzing epidemiologic
data and identifying risk factors that would adversely affect patient health.
Develop and implement population-specific, evidence-based disease management
programs and protocols based upon analysis of epidemiologic and
pharmacoeconomic data, medication use evaluation and risk reduction strategies.
Analyze access to and formulate a plan for providing effective, quality health and
disease prevention services.
Basic Sciences
Biomedical Sciences
For human organisms, describe structural components, functions and interactions
at molecular, cellular, organ system and organismal levels.
Describe the mechanisms by which local, regional and organismal control
mechanisms regulate the functions of cells, organs and organ systems to maintain a
normal dynamic steady state.
List the major diseases, describing deviations from normal anatomy, physiology and
biochemistry, and predicting typical pathological consequences.
Describe the scientific principles that explain how nonpharmacologic interventions
(e.g., diet, exercise, and other life-style modifications) can prevent disease and
promote patient health.
Explain the fundamentals of infectious disease, host-organism interactions, hostorganism
differences, organism pathogenicity, clinical aspects of infection, and
epidemiology.
Describe the use of molecular biology to produce therapeutic agents.
Pharmacology and Medicinal Chemistry
Classify and describe drugs based on chemical structure and mechanism of action.
Recognize fundamental pharmacophores; describe and apply structure activity
relationships to drug-receptor interactions.
Describe the biological, chemical and physical factors that affect stability,
absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of traditional, alternative and
complementary medications.
Recognize and explain the pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic and chemical
interactions associated with a drug product’s active and inactive ingredients,
including interactions with other drugs, food, diagnostic tests, and monitoring
procedures.
Identify and describe the mechanisms and treatments for adverse reactions,
allergies, side effects and iatrogenic or drug-induced illnesses.
Define basic terminology and tools used in pharmacogenomics/genetics.
