Study Notes
###Â Pharmacy Curriculum Overview
- Pharmacists continually need up-to-date information on drugs, pharmaceutical products, and diseases.
- Pharmacists often need to respond to various drug requests for a range of individuals.
- Primary Literature is the most current source of information, providing details of research methodology and results, which lead to therapeutic conclusions.
- Secondary Literature consists of indexing and abstracting services that help locate primary literature.
- Tertiary Literature is the most common source of information due to its ease of use, convenience, conciseness, and compact format. It's helpful for refreshing knowledge or learning about a subject.
###Â Types of Literature
- Primary Literature sources include theses/dissertations, periodicals, journals, serials, magazines, or bulletins. These are commonly used when researching new medication or a new indication for a medication.
- Secondary Literature sources include abstract services like Harvey Whitney Books, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (IPA), EMBASE and the Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews.
- Tertiary Literature sources include encyclopedias, dictionaries, handbooks, directories, yearbooks, monographs, and textbooks.
###Â Types of Periodicals
- Periodicals are classified based on the frequency of publication (weekly, monthly, quarterly), the volume published annually, the publisher (academic institutions, professional or scientific institutions, government bodies), geographic distribution (local, state, regional, national, international), and scope (scientific periodicals or professional periodicals).

- The four-year Bachelors’ Degree program offers a broad spectrum of scientific training and can lead to employment in various scientific fields, including higher education institutions, community drug stores, hospitals, government agencies, research establishments, public health, and the pharmaceutical industry.
- Graduates of the program are equipped with the knowledge, skills, aptitude, and competencies to conduct scientific research methods, develop drugs, identify, compound, manufacture, store, and dispense drugs, manage drug establishments, and provide pharmaceutical care and counseling.
