Pharmacotherapy Preview Program
July 15 - August 16, 2019
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Center of Excellence (COE) program, funded through the Department of Health and Human Services, was established to assist designated health profession schools and other public and non-profit, or educational institutions strengthen the national capacity to produce a culturally competent healthcare workforce, whose diversity is representative of the U.S. population.
The Pharmacotherapy Preview (P3) Program is one of the many support programs offered through the COE to meet the needs of current Howard University Student Pharmacists. The P3 Program is proposed to prepare rising second year students for the pharmacology and pharmacokinetics component of the curriculum. This four week component (during the summer prior to the second academic year) will be offered online only to all rising second year students, through the COE and Blackboard website and will utilize AccessPharmacy®, You Tube, Survey Monkey, Tegrity and ExamSoft. Students will receive preparation guidelines, and a structured introductory module including weekly assignments, textbook readings, online chat room discussions, and online assessment. Course materials will focus on Integrated Therapeutics I & Integrated Therapeutics II (Pathophysiology, Pharmacotherapy, Pharmacology and Dispensing). Students will be encouraged to complete homework and team building exercises, as well as participate in study skills activities.
