Essential Pharmaceutics Introductions in the Pharmaceutical Sciences

Essential Pharmaceutics, as its name implies, provides PharmD students with the critical concepts and knowledge foundation as a part of their pharmaceutics training. These essential concepts are complemented by additional materials and applications in our “flipped” pharmaceutics course, the design, and implementation of which is explained herein. This book was developed over several years as an accompaniment to the flipped classroom pharmaceutics course taught by Professors Hugh DC Smyth and Robert O. Williams III at The University of Texas College of Pharmacy (UTCoP). Following two years of planning and study, and with input from education and instructional experts, in the spring of 2014 the “Pharmaceutics” course within the UTCoP PharmD curriculum was restructured from a conventional lecture-based content delivery to a flipped instruction, team-based, classroom model.
