After athorough review of all professional coursework by college faculty, students, and practitioners inthe field, the College of Pharmacy proposes several changes to its professional program, whichwill accommodate the new accreditation standards. These changes will go into effect with thefall 2009 entering class.Currently, the PharmD program provides 160 hours of pharmacy practice experienceduring the first two years (80 hours each in the P-1 and P-2 years). The faculty haverecommended altering the pharmacy practice courses in the P-2 and P-3 year to accommodatethis new accreditation standard. Specifically one credit hour of work has been added in the P-2year (equivalent to an additional 40 hours of practical experience) and two credit hours havebeen added the P-3 year (equivalent to an additional 80 hours of practical experience).
