The position will have primary responsibility in development, implementation, and delivery of a new curricular component focused on knowledge application and integration within the College’s Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum.  This new component, called Synthesis, will be an integral element of Integrated Pharmacotherapy (IP) series and Applications of Pharmacy Practice associated material that spans all three years of the pre-Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) curriculum, and will focus on content reinforcement, content integration and application, problem solving skills, student assessment, and personal and professional development activities. The faculty member will serve as a role-model/practitioner-educator for Doctor of Pharmacy students through educational delivery in didactic and clinical settings. The clinical assignment will be not more than 20% of total effort.
