Integration of Laboratory Instruction in the Pharmacy Curriculum Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

综合实验旨在将物理、化学、生物学和药剂学的概念融入普通化学和有机化学的实验室组成部分。具体的综合实验需要进行FTIR光谱分析。定性、定量和化学动力学分析被纳入这些实验室实验。这些实验是为本科生药学课程设计的。具有共同主题的实验集侧重于将基础科学概念与药学相关实例相结合。这些实验室练习强调独立学习和批判性思维。一个强有力的基础科学教育，包括训练思维能力，对于准备药学从业者来说是必不可少的，他们将利用这些知识来适应和开发患者的药物疗法。实验室是开展主动学习活动的理想环境，帮助学生培养药学实践所需的思维能力。

Integrated experiments designed to incorporate concepts from physics, chemistry biology, and pharmaceutics into the laboratory components of general and organic chemistry have been developed. The specific integrated experiments require FTIR spectral analysis. Qualitative, quantitative and chemical kinetics analyses are incorporated into these laboratory experiments. These experiments are intended for the undergraduate pharmacy curriculum. Sets of experiments with a common theme focus on integrating basic science concepts with pharmacy relevant examples. These laboratory exercises emphasize independent learning and critical thinking. A strong basic science education incorporating exercises to develop thinking abilities is essential in the preparation of pharmacy practitioners who will use this knowledge to adapt and develop drug therapies for patients. The laboratory is an ideal environment for active learning activities that help students develop the thinking abilities necessary for the practice of pharmacy.
