A one-month drug analysis laboratory rotation for doctor of pharmacy students.
A one-month drug analysis laboratory rotation for PharmD students is described. The students gain hands-on experience through the performance of a structured sequence of laboratory experiments covering topics such as calibration standards, the calibration curve, extraction recovery, chromatographic resolution, HPLC detectors, and plasma protein binding. The self-paced, independent study approach to the rotation was cited by students to be an effective method for teaching a large number of new concepts in a short time. The course was a good aid in helping students to decide if they wanted to pursue postdoctoral research training.
