[Karen Davis
Discussion / The group began by discussing how often each college admitted students. No concensus could be reached about the best sequencing of courses. The group then began to convert the courses from quarter to semester hours. Content of all the courses was good since the PROBE revision was done last year. As even a conversion as possible was done for each course. The group decided that AHS 105, Chemistry, contained too much detailed information and that a majority of the coursework was already contained within the pharmacy curriculum. The decision was made to incorporate the portion of AHS 105 that was not already included in the pharmacy curriculum into PHAR 1010 and eliminate AHS 105 from the curriculum.
Conclusions / Removing AHS 105 from the curriculum will eliminate the need to find adjunct instructors to teach the course.
