My name is Carrie and I am currently a 2nd year pharmacy student (P2) here at Campbell. Our school year is well under way, and the “P2” class has just finished up our first introductory portion of Pharmacology; Principles of Pharmacology and Medicinal Chemistry. So far the classes have been challenging, but very interesting. It is fascinating to finally learn the chemistry of drug interactions and why certain things happen in the body. Pieces of the “physiology puzzle” are starting to fall into place.
In the P2 year, there are fewer classes, but each class is so valuable to the pharmacy profession. The faculty has continued to be helpful and understanding as we continue through our journey through more challenging coursework and becoming pharmacists. Our schedule right now consists of a compounding class called Pharmaceutics, Medicinal Chemistry/Pharmacology, Biology of disease, and Pharmacokinetics which is the study of drug movement through the body. As always, if there are any questions about coursework, student life, or the program here at Campbell; do not hesitate to let us know!

/ October 2, 2011Hi, I was wondering how much Christianity is prevalent in the daily lives of the students. While I don’t mind others practicing their faith and I would like to be in an environment of kind, good-spirited people, I myself am secular and I wouldn’t really want to be expected to participate in any religious activities. Are the majority of students Christian and are assumed to be so, or are religious activities just one of the opportunities to engage in student life?
I am also curious about some of the classes for the first year, like biochemistry and immunology. If we take those classes before attending, can we transfer the credits or do we need to take the class again?
Thanks!
