University of Montana 1998-1999 Catalog 1998-99 Catalog
Pharmacy

Pharmacy is the study of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of medicinal substances and the utilization of these substances in the prevention, treatment, and control of illness and disease. It also encompasses a study of the systems of delivering health care and the function of the professional pharmacist within these systems.

The School of Pharmacy was established in 1907 at Montana State College and was transferred to the University in 1913. The pharmacy program consists of two departments, Pharmacy Practice and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

The School of Pharmacy is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy and the baccalaureate program is accredited fully by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education, 311 West Superior Street, Suite 512, Chicago IL 60610, telephone (312) 664-4652.

The curriculum offered by the School of Pharmacy consists of two programs: a five-year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy or a six year program leading to the entry-level Pharm.D. degree. The first two years, or pre-professional portion of the curriculum, are spent in studies of the basic physical and biological sciences, and in course work necessary to satisfy the University general education requirements.

The first two professional years of the B.S.P. and Pharm.D. programs are identical. During these two years, students devote their time to the study of the pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy practice. Areas of study include biochemistry, microbiology, pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, social administrative pharmacy, and therapeutics.

During the second year of the professional program, the student selects either the B.S.P. or the Pharm.D. option. If the student chooses the B.S.P. option, the third professional year consists of one semester of didactic work in pharmacy practice and one semester of experiential training. If the student chooses the Pharm.D. option, the third professional year is didactic work and the final professional year is entirely experiential.

A program of selected electives allows the student to obtain further educational experience in specialized areas of pharmaceutical knowledge. Students in the professional program may choose elective courses in specific areas of interest which include community pharmacy practice, sales and management, research and teaching, or hospital and institutional pharmacy practice. All students must confer with assigned advisors prior to each registration period and receive approval of proposed courses.

In addition to their formal educational program, students, to become registered pharmacists, must complete practical experience or internship under the direction of a registered pharmacist and pass an examination given by the State Board of Pharmacy.

Career opportunities exist in the fields of community pharmacy, institutional pharmacy, federal or state government service, public health agencies, and with the pharmaceutical industry in sales positions or in manufacturing. Those with advanced degrees are in demand for research positions and in pharmaceutical education.

High School Preparation: In addition to the general University admission requirements, algebra, trigonometry, biology, chemistry, physics and a course in typing are recommended.

Admission

The general requirements for admission to the University are listed separately in this catalog.

Pre-Pharmacy Program

The pre-pharmacy curriculum, which requires a minimum of two years of full-time study, may be taken at any accredited college or university.

Students at The University of Montana-Missoula may enter the pre-pharmacy program during any semester. It is recommended that students considering pharmacy as a major declare a pre-pharmacy major as early as possible in order to receive appropriate advising. Upon designating pre-pharmacy as a major, students will be assigned an advisor within the pharmacy program.

Professional Pharmacy Program

Students must apply for admission to the professional program. Class size in the professional pharmacy program is restricted and admission to the program is competitive. The admission process is designed to admit the best overall class into professional study. Completed applications are evaluated by the School of Pharmacy Admissions Committee. Acceptances are made by the pharmacy faculty and the dean based on the recommendations of the committee.

Since very few elective credits are available in the professional pharmacy curriculum, students will be expected to have completed all General Education requirements except for the upper-division writing and ethics requirements prior to entering the professional curriculum. Students must complete all General Education requirments before entering clerkship rotations during the final year of the program.

Applicants will be screened based on academic record (both overall and in the required pre-pharmacy course work) and Pharmacy College Admission Test scores (offered in October and Febraury). To be eligible for admission, students must have a minimum grade point average of 2.5 on a 4 point scale, both overall and in required pre-professional courses. For the past several years there have been more than three applicants for each opening, and the grade point average of the entering class has been about 3.4. In addition, applicants must present proof of having completed at least 60 hours of volunteer or paid service in a medical or social field, and one letter of recommendation from someone involved with the applicant in such an experience.

Based on the above criteria, selected applicants will be invited for an on-site interview. The interview will be used to assess the applicant's motivation, communication skills, and ability to work independently. An impromptu writing sample taken during the interview will be used to assess written communication skills. Final selections will be made from applicants who are interviewed.

As a state supported institution, the School of Pharmacy gives all applicants from the Montana University System equal consideration for admission into the professional pharmacy program. There is no restriction on admission of out-of-state students; however, Montana residents are given priority among students with equal qualifications. Students will be notified of their admission status in writing.

The curriculum of the professional pharmacy program is sequential. Therefore, students may enter the program in the autumn semester only. Application forms for admission to the professional curriculum may be obtained from the Office of the Dean, School of Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences. Applications must be post marked by March 1st preceding the autumn semester of the year for which admission is requested.

An application fee must be submitted with the application. Admission for one academic year cannot be deferred to another academic year. Official transcripts of all academic courses taken must be forwarded directly to the School of Pharmacy.

The professional pharmacy curriculum must be taken in residence at the University. Students transferring from other accredited schools of pharmacy may be admitted with advanced standing, determined on the basis of credits accepted, provided they are in good academic standing. Transfer credit for required professional courses taken at other institutions is accepted only for those courses which are deemed equivalent and in which a letter grade of C or better is obtained.

Academic Progression

The general University academic standing requirements are listed separately in this catalog. See index.

Students in the professional curriculum must maintain cumulative, professional, and pharmacy grade point averages of 2.0 or higher. The professional grade point average consists of all required course work in the professional curriculum. The pharmacy grade point average consists of all courses with a pharmacy (PHAR) prefix.

Students enrolled in the professional pharmacy program must maintain satisfactory academic progress. No more than 4 credits of D in PHAR required courses will be accepted toward either the B.S.P. or Pharm.D. Students in the professional program who have a pharmacy or professional grade point average of less than 2.0 or who receive a grade of D or F in any required course in the professional curriculum will be placed on academic probation. A student must petition to continue in the professional pharmacy program if he or she is on probation for two consecutive terms. A student will be dismissed from the professional pharmacy program if he or she is on probation for a total of three terms, not necessarily consecutive, subject to review by the dean. A student will be removed from probation when a grade point average of 2.0 has been achieved. Because the program is academically intense, employment beyond minimal, part-time work is not recommended.

Students who have failed ten or more credits of required professional course work or who fail to progress in the expected manner for two consecutive years may be dismissed from the professional pharmacy program, subject to review by the Academic Standards Committee and the dean of the School of Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences.

Students dismissed from the program for substandard performance will not be readmitted, except in cases where substantiation is made to the faculty, by written petition, that the substandard performance was the result of circumstances that no longer exist, or that the student has demonstrated the capability and desire to perform satisfactory work since his or her dismissal from the program.

Students leaving the program on their own volition are guaranteed readmission if they are in good academic standing and exit by interview with the assistant dean for student affairs. Those students leaving the program on their own volition and not in good standing must reapply for admission.

The professional pharmacy curriculum consists of an integrated sequence of required courses which is designed to be completed in three (B.S.P. option) or four (Pharm.D. option) consecutive years. With appropriate justification, part-time study in the professional pharmacy program may be allowed. Students desiring to be enrolled in part-time study must make their request by petition to the Academic Standards Committee. Because the curriculum is revised periodically, students who take longer than normal number of years to complete the professional program will be required to complete curricular changes applicable to the class in which they graduate.
