We appreciate you taking time to fill out this important survey addressing US colleges/schools of pharmacy curriculums. The information gleaned from this national survey will support the NABP examination programs including the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX), the Pharmacy Curriculum Outcomes Assessment (PCOA), and the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination (FPGEE). This survey consists of four parts: Part 1 is a brief set of background questions about your college/school of pharmacy. Responses to these questions are required. Part 2 is the curriculum assessment portion of the survey. This section will present a main subject (courses) taught within the four core competency areas. It will also include a list of subtopics that provide greater detail about the subject in question. In this section you will be asked to provide (to the best of your ability) the number of contact OR credit hours that map to the subject in the professional curriculum. If the coursework is required for admission into the professional curriculum, you will be asked to provide that information in this section. Part 3 addresses introductory and advanced pharmacy practice experiential requirements in your program. Part 4 addresses personal and professional development requirements in your program. Throughout the survey space has been provided for you to qualify your responses, as needed. The survey should take approximately 30­45 minutes to complete. Please be as accurate in your responses as possible. If the subject presented is not included in the professional curriculum, you may enter 0 contact or credit hours as applicable.

6 Part 2: PharmD Curriculum Assessment
Please respond to the following curricular survey questions based on your college or school’s PharmD program requirements. To clarify, this is subject matter taught in the professional program, not required for admission into the program. On occasion, there will be subjects that are required for admission and are taught at an advanced level in the professional program. Please include these subjects in your estimates for contact/credit hour responses. You are given the option of providing contact or credit hours. You do not have to provide both contact and credit hours, and you may alternate between the two based on what is most appropriate for the subject in question. If the subject is not included in the professional program, indicate “0” in the contact or credit hour field as applicable. Part 2: PharmD Curriculum Assessment
