(32-0-2) PHRE 5641—Applied Secondary Database Analysis This course gives students the opportunity to apply skills learned in the research design and biostatistics courses by completing a secondary data analysis research project using a federal database. By the end of the course, students will have written a basic research protocol, become familiarized with the basic structure and methodology of the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, prepared a dataset, conducted descriptive and basic statistical analyses using SPSS, written an abstract, and delivered a presentation to a professional audience. (32-0-2) PHRE 5643—Parenteral Medication Therapies This course exposes students to topics and skills that expand their knowledge of the use of intravenous therapies in the management of diseases. The student will learn both didactically and in small-group, hands-on activities. After completion of this course, the student should be more prepared to compound, evaluate, and monitor IV therapies. (16-48-2) PHRE 5991—Research in Pharmacy Practice Students, under the direction of one or more pharmacy practice faculty members, will perform individual research projects. Projects may involve direct patient care or translational research (e.g., pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenomics). Semester credits must be negotiated with the adviser and approved by the department chair prior to the start of any work. Students will be involved in both the planning and execution of the research project. (0-[48–144]-[1–3]) PHRE 5993—Literature Research in Pharmaceutical Sciences The course involves the directed reading, evaluation, and analysis of scientific literature (papers and reviews) in the fields of pharmacology, pharmaceutics, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical technology, biotechnology, and toxicology, among others. It involves thorough reading and assimilation of scientific information and preparing reports and/or manuscripts as agreed between the adviser and advisee. Through a mutual agreement between the faculty member and the student, a specific area of research within a field will be selected. Under the direct supervision of a faculty member, students will be • trained on the retrieval of scientific information • mentored to understand the findings of the paper(s) • taught to build hypotheses of their own on the leading topics from various publications and reviews • trained in writing papers and reviews (0-[48–96]-[1–2]) PHRE 5995—Research in Sociobehavioral and Administrative Pharmacy I This research elective course is designed to provide students with fundamental understanding of issues surrounding research methodology in pharmacy, public health, and biomedical science researches. The course provides guidance to students through the complete research process, from formulation of research problem and hypothesis, to literature review, data collection and analysis, and summary of research report. (0-[48–144]-[1–3]) PHRE 5997—Research in Sociobehavioral and Administrative Pharmacy II This research elective course is the continuation of the Research in Sociobehavioral and Administrative Pharmacy I elective course. It is designed to provide guidance to students through the complete research processes, from formulation of a topic to data collection and analysis, to completion of a final report. The amount and nature of the work to be done for this research elective course will be determined by the individual faculty research adviser. Prerequisite: PHRE 5995 (0-[48–192]-[1–4]) PHRE 5999—Research in the Pharmaceutical Sciences In this course, students work under the direction/supervision of one or more faculty members in a research laboratory. Students are involved in planning and executing an approved research project using basic techniques of scientific research. Students will be awarded 3 or 4 semester credits on the basis of 48 laboratory hours per credit. (0-[144–192]-[3–4]) PHRE 6997—Travel Study Program The program provides students with an overview, understanding, and appreciation for pharmaceutical and medical practices outside the United States. Visits to pharmacies, hospitals, and cultural sites in the region allow students to study and experience the history, culture, and health care practices of the country visited. (48-0-3)
