Course Description
PHAR 352 is the second of five experiential courses required to complete the Doctor of
Pharmacy program at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) College of Pharmacy. During
this course students will be provided with a general introduction to health-system pharmacies.
Students will be taught the physical assessment concepts and skills a pharmacist needs to work
directly with patients, and introduced to concepts for obtaining and documenting information
about a patient’s use of medications.
Course Format
PHAR 352 is a two credit hour course offered in the fall semester to second professional year
doctor of pharmacy students. This course is a combination of lectures and recitations. Lecture
time will be used to introduce concepts and terminology. The recitation sessions will include
time for hands-on practice and/or review of concepts taught in lecture as well as other topics
relevant to the achievement of course objectives. Lecture-related quizzes, recitation exercises,
or homework assignments will be given throughout the course. Various patient interview
assignments will also be completed throughout the semester. A final medication history and
physical assessment skills evaluation will be given at the end of the semester. The course is
team taught primarily with faculty from the UIC Department of Pharmacy Practice.
Course Instructors
The course involves multiple instructors. Individual instructors should always be consulted
directly for questions related to clarification of their lectures, handouts, or assignments.

**The syllabus agreement and FERPA waiver forms are due by the second week of class in lecture. The
HIPAA annual update certificate of completion form is due as designated by the IPPE director. The
medication history reflective assignment is due either week seven or eight depending on your group
assignment. All these forms and assignments are required for course credit. No points will be awarded
for their completion. Failure to complete and return any of these forms or assignments as directed will
result in a five (5) point deduction from your overall grade for each business day after the designated
completion date any of these forms or assignments remain incomplete.
Re-grading
Any questions concerning grading should be brought to the attention of the course coordinator
(Dr. Cannon). Requests for grading adjustments should be made, in writing, within 5 business
days of the return of the assignment in question, or for quizzes within 5 business days of the
grade being posted to Blackboard. A written explanation for the request should be submitted to
the course coordinator with the attached assignment along with information supporting the
reason why the adjustment is requested. In fairness to all, the entire assignment will be regraded by the instructor/facilitator, and the resulting score (higher or lower) will be used. Due to
the nature of the assignment, there will be no re-grade of the medication history and physical
assessment skills evaluation.
Attendance
Attendance is expected at all lectures and mandatory for all recitation sessions and patient
interviews at the time specified. Please note: Students are responsible for all materials
presented in lecture and the recitation sessions. It will be at the individual lecturer’s and/or course
coordinator’s discretion whether their material (ie. slides, handout, etc) will be posted to
Blackboard.
Students are required to inform the course coordinator (Dr. Cannon) in advance of an anticipated
absence (no later than the day of but prior to the start time of the lecture/recitation session,
quiz, or patient interview that the student will miss) or substantial tardiness (>10 minutes).
For emergent, unforeseen events (e.g., medical emergency, death in the family), the student
should notify the College of Pharmacy Office of Student Affairs in addition to the course
coordinator (within 48 hours after returning to school). Written documentation regarding an
absence may be required.
Excused absences may be granted by the course coordinator for select circumstances (e.g.,
documented illness, family emergency). Students should not assume that notification of the
absence to the course coordinator via those routes noted above is sufficient for the absence to be
considered excused. For excused absences, arrangements should be made with the course
coordinator to make-up the quiz, recitation exercise, patient interview, or activity whenever
possible. The time and/or format of any make-up assignment or quiz will be at the discretion of the
course coordinator.
Any absence or tardiness for which a student has failed to comply with the above stated policy will
be viewed as unexcused. An unexcused absence will result in a zero "0" for that recitation
exercise, patient interview, activity, or quiz with no possibility of a make-up.
Course Communication
Course communication will occur primarily through Blackboard and/or UIC e-mail accounts.
Students are required to check both Blackboard and UIC e-mail accounts daily for class
announcements or material posting. Not checking these accounts will not be accepted as an
excuse for having missed important class information.
Quizzes
Two (2) quizzes will be administered throughout the course. Quizzes will typically be
administered at the beginning of lecture on the dates they are scheduled. Students are to
complete the quizzes individually and will be allotted ten (10) minutes of lecture time to
complete the quiz. Students who are late for lecture, may forfeit their right to take the quiz.
Each quiz will consist of ten (10) questions. The individual type of question will be at the
discretion of the lecturer and will vary among multiple choice, fill in the blank, true/false, etc.
Each quiz will be worth thirty (30) points. Quizzes will not be returned and answers will not be
posted, but if you have concerns about a particular question please consult the course
coordinator (See: Examination and Grading). Quiz scores will be posted to Blackboard.
Recitation Exercises
Two (2) recitation exercises will be completed throughout the course. The recitation exercises
are intended to reinforce the lecture material, allow the student the opportunity to apply the
principles presented and prepare the student for their patient interviews and associated
pharmaceutical care assignments. Details on the specific recitation exercise will be provided
during the recitation. Each recitation exercise will be worth twenty (20) points. The submitted
exercise worksheet will be graded based on its content and completeness, as well as the
student’s recitation participation. Inability of the student to discuss any aspect of the
recitation exercise or completed and submitted worksheet may result in a zero "0" for
that recitation. Failure to turn in a completed recitation exercise worksheet as described
above will result in a zero "0" for that recitation with no possibility of a make-up. Students
are to complete the recitation exercise and worksheets during the designated recitation time.
Recitation exercise worksheets will be returned at the discretion of the course coordinator to
student mailboxes unless otherwise indicated on your FERPA waiver. Recitation exercise
scores will be posted to Blackboard.
Hospital Site Visit and Patient Interviews
One (1) site visit and three (3) patient interviews will be assigned throughout the semester as
either homework or during the scheduled recitation or activity sessions.
For the family/friend interview homework assignment, each student will choose their own family,
friend, or relative to interview. More details on this assignment will be provided during week two
of the course.
For the site visit and in-college interviews, student site and interview assignments will be
arranged and assigned by the course coordinator. More details on these assignments will be
provided during weeks one and three of the course, respectively.
The outpatient interview will be arranged by your campus specific IPPE coordinator (Dr. Allen in
Chicago; Dr. Schriever in Rockford). For this assignment students will be given a patient to
interview by the assigned pharmacy faculty member or preceptor. One representative from each
student interviewing group should e-mail the faculty member at least seven days in advance to
confirm the interview location and time. More details on this assignment will be provided during
week four of the course.
It is expected that students will respect the rights of patients by insuring the confidentiality of
their medical and protected health information (PHI). This requirement will be enforced and any
violations will result in disciplinary action up to and including course failure. Please note that
violations are also subject to federal fines/penalties. Removal of medical charts from the patient
care unit is prohibited. Printouts from any electronic medical record (patient care notes,
pharmacy patient profiles, or any photocopies of information from patient medical records)
SHOULD NOT be removed from the patient care unit UNLESS DIRECTLY AUTHORIZED by
your faculty preceptor. Additionally, use discretion and common sense when discussing a
patient. Do not openly discuss your patients in hallways, elevators, the cafeteria, or in any
location where you may be overheard.
Students should act and dress professionally at each site visit and patient interview (See:
Professional Attire and Behavior). The student must carry the wallet size card or copy of his/her
current State of Illinois Pharmacy Technician Registration, as well as documentation of
immunizations and titers during all interviews. Transportation to and from the interview sites are
the responsibility of the student as described in the College of Pharmacy policies.
HIPAA Course Requirements
Although students have received HIPAA training previously, an annual update is required for
course credit. You can access the annual HIPAA update via the Medical Center Learning
Management System (MCLMS). When completed, please print the certificate of completion form.
This form must be returned to the campus specific IPPE course coordinator (Dr. Allen in Chicago;
Dr. Schriever in Rockford) as designated. Failure to complete and return this certificate of
completion form as directed will result in a five (5) point deduction from your overall grade for
each business day overdue.
Medication History and Physical Assessment Skills Evaluation
The Medication History and Physical Assessment Skills Evaluation is scheduled for weeks
fourteen and fifteen of the course. Students will be divided at random into pairs by the course
coordinator (Dr. Cannon). Each student will be evaluated on their medication history taking and
physical assessment skills, while the other serves as a mock patient. Students will be given a
pre-specified amount of time to complete the skills evaluation on their student partner/mock
patient. All students will be evaluated individually on predetermined medication history and
physical assessment skills. Additional details will be provided in class regarding the Medication
History and Physical Assessment Skills Evaluation during week twelve. The Skills Evaluation is
worth one-hundred (100) points. Skills Evaluation scores will be posted to Blackboard.
Professional Attire and Behavior
Lecture and recitation sessions for PHAR 352 are designed to be conducted in a classroom
setting and professional attire is optional. Patient interview assignments and site visits will require
students to meet with healthcare professionals and patients in both inpatient and outpatient
settings, as well as within the college. When conducting patient interviews or going on site
visits professional attire is required, regardless of the setting. It is important to exhibit the
appearance of a health care professional at those times. Professional attire includes a clean,
short white lab coat with a College of Pharmacy name badge and University ID that must be worn
unless otherwise instructed. Men should wear button down shirts and ties. Women should wear
blouses or sweaters, dress pants, skirts (not mini), or dresses. Socks or hosiery should be worn
at all times. Open toed sandals are generally not appropriate. Jeans, gym shoes, sweatshirts,
sweatpants, t-shirts, athletic outfits, spandex, halter tops, or other revealing items should not be
worn. Jewelry, sunglasses, perfumes, etc. should be minimized. Students who are improperly
dressed will not be allowed to participate and will receive a grade of zero “0” for that
assignment.
Professional behavior includes, but is not limited to, timely and sustained attendance, active
participation, and the maintenance of an appropriate learning environment in the classroom as
well as off-site. Students are expected to behave in a civil fashion toward instructors, staff and
their fellow students. Sometimes we fail to recognize that our behavior disrupts or offends
others. It is important to be sensitive to the goals and feelings of your instructors and
classmates. Please attend to the business of the class while in the classroom. It is rude to talk
with a friend, read a newspaper, sleep, or engage in non-class activities during class. Help to
build a good classroom environment by being a supportive listener and making relevant
contributions to the topics being discussed.
Exhibiting or engaging in unprofessional, disruptive and/or prohibited behavior during course
activities (particularly in patient care areas) can result in disciplinary action up to and including
course failure.
Quiz Etiquette
All personal belongings should be placed in an area designated by the course coordinator. Only
items required for the quiz should be in sight on the desk. Brimmed hats (e.g. baseball hats)
should be worn backwards or not at all. Electronic devices must be left with personal
belongings and set to operate in a “silent” mode. The scantron or answer sheet must be filled
out completely and accurately. All students must stop writing and immediately place their
writing instruments on the desk when the end of the quiz period is announced. All quiz materials
must be turned in immediately at the end of the quiz period. Cheating during a quiz will not be
tolerated (See: Policy on Student Behavior and Academic Dishonesty). No questions will be
answered during the quiz. Arriving late to a quiz may forfeit the student’s right to take the quiz.
There is no possibility of extra time or make-up of a quiz unless approval has been
granted by the course coordinator in advance. (See: Attendance)
Student’s Observance of Religious Holidays
The College of Pharmacy faculty shall make every effort to avoid scheduling examinations or
requiring that student projects be turned in or completed on religious holidays. Students who
wish to observe their religious holidays shall notify the course coordinator (Dr. Cannon) in
writing by the tenth day of the semester of the date(s) when they will be absent unless the
religious holiday is observed on or before the tenth day of the semester. In such cases, the
student shall notify the course coordinator at least five days in advance of the date when he/she
will be absent. The course coordinator shall make every reasonable effort to honor the request,
not penalize the student for missing the class, and if a quiz or assignment is due during the
absence, give the student a quiz or assignment equivalent to the one completed by those
students in attendance. If the student feels aggrieved, he/she may request remedy through the
campus grievance procedure.
Student Attendance at Off-Campus Meetings
The College of Pharmacy faculty encourages student participation in pharmacy professional
activities at local, regional, state, and national levels. All reasonable efforts will be made to
accommodate student attendance at these meeting(s) provided that the course coordinator (Dr.
Cannon) is notified, via a student organization representative, in writing by the tenth day of the
semester of the date when the student(s) absence will occur. If the meeting is on or before the
tenth day of the semester, the student organization representative shall notify the course
coordinator at least five days in advance of the date of the student(s) absence. To be excused for
such a meeting, the student(s) should be in good academic standing. If the absence is approved,
it is the responsibility of the student organization representative to meet with the course
coordinator prior to the absence to make arrangements on how and when the student(s) will
make-up the missed quiz, recitation session, patient interview, or activity wherever possible. The
time and/or format of any make-up assignment or exam will be at the discretion of the course
coordinator.
International Students
The Office of International Services (OIS) provides comprehensive support for international
students, including advising on both immigration and related government and university policies.
International students must attend an OIS “Employment Options for F-1 Students” workshop or
review the Curricular Practical Training (CPT) Power Point on the OIS website. We require that
all international students speak to an OIS advisor and your campus specific IPPE coordinator on
or before the tenth day of the semester to determine whether CPT is required for their IPPE
placement within the course.
Students with Disabilities
The course coordinator (Dr. Cannon) will make reasonable accommodations for students with
disabilities who have been diagnosed as having physical or mental limitations and special needs
(unless such accommodations have the end result of fundamentally altering a program or
service or placing an undue hardship on the operation of the university). To obtain academic
accommodations for this course, students with disabilities should contact the Office of Disability
Services at (312)413-2183 (voice) or (312)413-0123 (TTY). The student should do this as soon
as possible once the course begins. The student should also bring a letter from the Office of
Disability Services describing his/her needs for special services, this will provide the course
coordinator with ample opportunity to arrange to meet the student’s individual needs.
Policy on Student Behavior and Academic Dishonesty
The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) comprises a wide range of health care professionals
committed to the education of highly qualified new professionals. All health care professionals
require the highest level of trust and confidence not only from amongst themselves but also
from the general public. Without such confidence and trust, health care professionals cannot
function effectively. The expectations at UIC, therefore, regarding the level of conduct and
behavior of students, as well as faculty and staff, must be high. Students enrolled in the
University are expected to conduct themselves at all times in accordance with accepted
principles of responsible citizenship and with scrupulous regard for the rights of others. Students
will be held to the policies of the College of Pharmacy and the University of Illinois at Chicago
with regards to identification and disciplinary action for proven acts of academic dishonesty.
Academic dishonesty may include (but is not limited to) cheating, plagiarism, grade tampering or
submission of non-original work. Discipline for students proven to have engaged in academic
dishonesty for PHAR 352 will be based on the nature of the violation and will result in, at
minimum, a grade of zero “0” for that assignment/quiz/activity/exercise and written referral to the
Office of Student Affairs. Depending on the extent of the infraction, more severe consequences,
including course failure (i.e., receipt of a final grade of “E” for the course) may occur. For
additional information and specific guidelines, please refer to the University of Illinois at Chicago
Undergraduate Catalog and the College of Pharmacy Student Handbook.
Some specific examples of activities viewed as academic dishonesty in the PHAR 352 course
include (but are not limited to):
1. claiming participation in a patient interview or site visit when you were not present
2. submitting any individual assignment (or part of an assignment) with your name on it that
was written by someone else
3. submitting an individual or group assignment with your name on it and you were not
present during the activity
Course Evaluations and Exit Survey
The course coordinators recognize the value of evaluation of faculty and courses by students.
Voluntary and confidential feedback from students regarding courses and faculty provide critical
information to faculty for course and self-improvement. The ability to provide constructive
feedback is an essential skill for professionals. As such, the course coordinators view that one
of your responsibilities as a professional student in this course is to complete faculty and course
evaluations and exit surveys. Please be aware of this and do your best to fill out course and
faculty evaluation forms and the exit survey when asked to do so.
