PROGRAMME STRUCTURE The curriculum of the Pharm D program is set to be six academic years and is divided into stages: Stage 1: The first five years. This stage involves the teaching of basic, medical and pharmaceutical sciences. During this stage, the program is structured into two semesters each year, each semester made up of 15 weeks. An optional 7-week summer semester intensive program is also offered. Summer training takes place during the summer semesters of the third and fifth year of the Pharm D program and is comprised of 10 contact-hours (3 weeks) of training each semester. Stage : Is the sixth year. This stage is the practical stage, devoted to Clinical clerkship rotations (40 credit hours = 1600 contact hours), under supervision of faculty members, in diverse practice settings (community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy and hospital clinical departments approved by the faculty council). Clerkships are designed to provide practitioners the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from didactic courses in a clinical setting. This applied knowledge combined with prior clinical experience will insure that graduates have the skills and experience to manage pharmacotherapy and excel in the rapidly changing health care environment Graduation project (3 credit hours). The Faculty of Pharmacy implements the credit hour system. A credit hour represents an hour of lectures (L) or two hours of practical or tutorial (P/T) classes a week for a period of 15 weeks. A credit hour clerkship represents 8 hours daily, 5 times a week for one week (40 contact hours). 6. LEARNING AND TEACHING CONCEPTS The Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm. D.) program is designed to integrate the teaching, learning and understanding of pharmaceutical and medical sciences in the context of pharmacy practice. It also helps students to develop key skills in problem solving, teamwork, numeracy, communication and information technology. The program is delivered through lectures, practical classes, group tutorials, seminars, research assignments, clinical rotations and external cooperation with the community. 7. COURSE REGISTRATION At the beginning of each semester, students select the courses from the list of the offered courses. Academic advisers are available to offer advice and guidance during the registration of courses. Selection of courses for any given semester is conditional on the successful completion of the prerequisite courses of the preceding academic semester. 5

6 7.1. Load The load is the number of registered credit hours per student each semester. The academic load in each semester during the first five years of the program ranges from 1 to 0 credit hours. The academic load in the summer semester is not more than 9 credit hours. Credits acquired by the student are those of passed courses from the registered academic load. 7.. Add, Drop and Withdrawal Students are allowed to add or drop a course or more during a specified time every semester. Students are allowed to withdraw from a course prior to a deadline set by the university. The course will carry a grade of W and students will be allowed to retake the course when available. Students who withdraw after the deadline will not be allowed to sit for the relevant exam and will carry a grade of F for that course. 8. ATTENDANCE Students are expected to attend the university on a full-time basis during each semester. Attendance is checked during tutorials, clinical rotations and labs. Students must attend at least 75% of the tutorials and practical labs. If absence in a course exceeds the allowed percentage (5%) during the first ten weeks of the semester (either excused or unexcused), the student will not be allowed to sit for the exam of the relevant subject and will carry grade of F. 9. LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION English is the official language of instruction; all communication, lectures, coursework, and documentation are performed using the English language. Some courses can be thought in Arabic on the recommendation of the relevant department and the agreement of the faculty and university council 10. ASSESSMENT The assessment measures the outcome of students learning in terms of knowledge acquired, understanding developed, and skills gained Student s performance is assessed by: Written examination which may contain short-answer questions, essay-type questions multiple choice questions and/or calculations. Assessed coursework, including problem solving, essay writing, multiple choice tests, essays and or/laboratory report writing, research project reports, poster or oral presentation. Preceptors will assess the daily performance of the student during the clerkship rotations and submit interval points and final evaluation of the student to the site coordinator 6

7 10.1. Grading Scheme: Grades are a measure of the performance of a student in an individual course. Grade Definition Marks(%) GPA A 90 4 A <90% 3.7 B + Very Good 80 - <85% 3.3 B 75 - <80% 3 C <75%.7 Good C 65 - <70%.4 D Satisfactory 60 - <65% F Fail <60% 0 Grade Point Average (GPA) Each credit hour evaluated as a total of 50 marks: 5 points for the final theoretical exam, 10 points for the practical/tutorial exam, 5 points for the periodical exams, 5 points for the midterm theoretical exam and 5 points for oral exam. s without practical evaluation: 30 points for the final theoretical exam, 5 points for the periodical exams, 10 points for the midterm theoretical exam and 5 points for oral exam. s without practical and oral evaluation : 35 points for the final theoretical exam, 5 points for the periodical exams and 10 points for the midterm exam. The University calculates for each student, both at the end of each grading period and cumulatively, a grade point average (GPA) based on the ratio of grade points earned divided by the number of credits earned with grades of A-F (including pluses and minuses). The cumulative GPA appears on each student record. The semester GPA of the student is the weighted average of the grade points acquired in the courses passed in that particular semester. Grade for Rotations Preceptors and Site Coordinators are responsible for the evaluation of the student on the rotation. The final course grade will be determined by the program coordinator. The course grade will be based on the following: a) Site coordinator and preceptor evaluation. b) Attendance c) Completion of all assignments and/or projects pertaining to the rotation. The grading for training rotation is pass/fail; a score that is not less than 60% being a passing grade Registration symbols that do not carry grade points or credit: I: Incomplete: a temporary grade that indicates the requirement of a course has not been completed. The instructor assigns I when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the student was prevented from completing the requirements of a course. T: Transfer, indicates credits transferred from another institution. W: Withdrawal prior to deadline indicates a student has officially withdrawn from a course. P : Pass 7
