The UP College of
Pharmacy has continuously reviewed its curriculum since 1984 and has
effectively carried out the leadership in pharmacy education. In view
of the paradigm shift in pharmacy practice from being drug-centered to
patient-centered, which emphasizes the specific health care role of
the pharmacist, increasing evidences of drug therapy problems and the
development of international, regional and local standards of
competency for the pharmacy profession, the BS Pharmacy is now a
5-year competency based program.
The additional
requirement of one (1) year is necessary to prepare the students for
new competencies needed, including internship, and to comply with the
agreement among ASEAN and Western Pacific countries to adopt a minimum
of four (4) years for professional courses to ensure acquisition of
minimum entry level competencies for pharmacists
