Please explain/justify the new proposal or change. 
The PHA 105 Internship is divided into two components: community practice and alternate practice. The
student spends 160 hours in each practice. Therefore, the internship classes should reflect this practice,
and be divided into two separate classes.
The PHA 195 Medication Safety course is being added to the curriculum in place of PHA 195 Pharmacy
Law and Ethics. Law and Ethics topics have been embedded into PHA 100, to allow for the allimportant topic of Medication Safety 3 cr course.
