keyboard_arrow_right If I enroll in the physical classes do I still get access to the therapeutic summaries and question bank?
Yes. Students in our instructor-led class are provided instant access to the therapeutic summaries and question bank after enrolling in the course. This is a strong incentive to enroll as early as possible.

  • Assignments: 4 hours
  • Lecture: 6 hours
  • Question Bank: 5 hours
  • Remediating your weaknesses discovered by the question bank: 3 hours
keyboard_arrow_right Do I have access to the online recordings of lectures if I attend the physical classroom?
Yes. All students enrolled in the instructor-led Course have access to all lecture recordings. This allows students to make up for lectures they missed and to review important topics.
keyboard_arrow_right What is the format of the Instructor-led Course?
Each week the course covers 5 to 7 topics. Each topic includes readings, a series of assignments, and questions in our online Question Bank; which is currently the largest and most comprehensive in the industry. Twenty lectures are held over an 10 week period based on a combination of lectures and case-based learning on topics such as patient care, drug distribution and ethics. We focus on the most highly weighted portions of the exam where mistakes are often made, while still covering all 7 competencies. In between classroom sessions students are expected to complete a number of readings, assignments and sample exams. Weekly assignments will also often include completing a number of online videos and e-learning sessions. Students also have the option of getting their questions answered anytime by posting questions to the Q&A Forum where their questions are answered by PharmD/PhD faculty. Students tell us that our lectures help them summarize and understand the vast amount of materials covered, and that it helps them to develop the logic and reasoning skills needed to solve patient cases in a wide variety of topics.
