Fulfilling Professionalism Requirements in the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum In a professional school, the curriculum of study consists of knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes/behaviors. The curricular goals and objectives of the Doctor of Pharmacy program at the College are articulated in the Student Learning Outcomes. Procedures for addressing academic competency and progression associated with students’ knowledge, skills, and abilities are addressed by the Scholastic Standing Committee. Procedures and Policies for addressing professional competency, misconduct, and disciplinary actions are addressed here. Students are required to achieve a minimal competence in professionalism as a requirement of graduation. The major component of this requirement is the satisfactory completion of a professionalism portfolio.
