title: Relevance of physics to the pharmacy major.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To offer a physics course that is relevant to pharmacy students, yet still contains many of the fundamental principles of physics.
  
  
  METHODS
  The course was modified over a period of several years to include activities and examples that were related to other courses in the curriculum.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Course evaluations were given to assess student attitudes about the importance of physics in the pharmacy curriculum.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Students' attitudes have changed over time to appreciate the role that physics plays in their studies. Students gained confidence in their ability to learn in other courses.
