AccessPharmacy Curricular Topics and Organ System Guides
|
|
In addition to a powerful search engine and the traditional textbook view, AccessPharmacy offers two custom guides to the extensive resources on the site - Curricular Topics and Organ Systems.
Curricular Topics and Organ Systems provide maps to specific topics from the over 20,000 pages of content available. Content is shown in context, with key textbook material highlighted by resource, as well as related case studies and Q&A.
AccessPharmacy's Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Terry L. Schwinghammer, oversees the selection of AccessPharmacy Core Curriculum. Given the variation in curricula among schools and colleges of pharmacy, the Curricular Topics and Organ System guides on AccessPharmacy are not intended to correspond to individual courses. Instead, the topics represent the fundamental scientific and clinical areas addressed in contemporary pharmacy education. The flexible organization and structure of AccessPharmacy means that its carefully chosen content can be incorporated regardless of an individual school's curricular structure.
Curricular Topics
AccessPharmacy's Curricular Topics guide is modeled after the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) Accreditation Standards and Guidelines for the Professional Degree Program. These guidelines took effect on July 1, 2007.
AccessPharmacy's Curricular Topics guide corresponds to the science foundation considered to be essential for educating and training practicing pharmacists. While some curricular topics may be addressed in pre-pharmacy courses (e.g., anatomy/physiology, microbiology), the majority are included in the required or elective curriculum of most professional degree programs. To learn more about the ACPE pharmacy curriculum, please see the ACPE Accreditation Standards and Guidelines.
Organ Systems
The Organ System guide on AccessPharmacy offers a content map tailored for schools with integrated curricula. This multidisciplinary approach uses the table of contents from Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach as its foundation.
