1Develop competence in basic anatomy/physiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic methods and decision making, principles of pharmacology, relationship between chemical structure and biological activity, delivery of drugs from various dosage forms, pharmacotherapy, drug interactions, and treatment guidelines.

2Develop competence in basic principles of drug design and the chemical and biochemical mechanisms of drug action, basic principles that affect drug release from dosage form, drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicology and the impact of those properties on clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and the relevance of molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, and pharmacogenomics and apply key principles to disease states and therapeutics.

8Design, implement, and evaluate patient specific pharmacotherapeutic regimens.

9Select the proper drug, dose, and dosage form for a specific patient.

10Design strategies to monitor patients' drug regimens for therapeutic and toxic effects of medications.

11Design strategies to avoid or manage drug interaction and adverse drug events.

12Identify and implement strategies to encourage patient adherence to therapeutic interventions.

13Synthesize information in order to draw logical conclusions.

14Provide evidence-based support for arguments, recommendations, and solutions.

15Demonstrate the ability to make sound decisions given complex scenarios in a time-constrained environment.
