PHARMACY
Pharmacy Course and Training The doctor of pharmacy degree requires at least six years of study beyond high school. The curriculum usually consists of anatomy, physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, pathphysiology, pharmacy calculations, pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, professional communications, pharmacy management, pharmacy law, quality assurance, and clinical pharmacokinetics, pharmacotherapy, and clinical clerkships.
