TECHNICAL STANDARDS
FOR COMPLETION OF THE CURRICULUM
Introduction

It is the policy of the Texas A&M Health Science Center Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy
that no person shall be denied admission or graduation on the basis of any disability, provided that
the person demonstrates the ability to meet the minimum standards set forth herein. Standards are
developed as criteria to achieve the Doctor of Pharmacy degree in preparation for licensure as a
practicing pharmacist and for postgraduate professional training and education in any of the varied
fields of pharmacy. Further, the safety of the patient, on whom the pharmaceutical education
process is largely focused, must be guarded as the final and ultimate consideration. Therefore, it is
not only reasonable but also essential for competent patient care to require minimum technical
standards for the education of pharmacists.
One of the charges of the College’s faculty is to devise a curriculum that provides the student with
the fundamental science and evidence-based principles of pharmacy. The designed curriculum
introduces current advances in the basic biomedical, pharmaceutical, clinical, social, behavioral,
and administrative sciences, including pharmacotherapy and technology, changes in the
understanding of disease, and the effect of social needs and demands on pharmaceutical care and
its future. The faculty should foster in students the ability to learn through self-directed,
independent study throughout their professional lives.
Faculty also has a responsibility to society to matriculate and graduate the best possible
pharmacists. Thus, admission to the College is only offered to those students who present the
highest qualifications for the study and practice of pharmacy. Technical standards presented in this
document are prerequisite for admission to, continuation in and graduation from Texas A&M
Health Science Center College of Pharmacy. All courses included in the curriculum are necessary
in order to develop essential skills required to become a competent pharmacist.
The goal of the Texas A&M HSC College of Pharmacy is to prepare students broadly to practice
pharmacy with special emphasis on practicing in primary care settings. Pharmacy education
requires that the accumulation of scientific knowledge be accompanied by the simultaneous
acquisition of professional skills, attitudes, ethical behaviors, and leadership skills. Regardless of
the eventual type of practice, students must demonstrate competence in intellectual, physical, and
social tasks that together represent the fundamentals for an effective delivery of contemporary
pharmaceutical care.
All students will be judged by their respective program faculty not only on their scholastic
achievement and ability, but also on their intellectual, physical, and emotional capacities to meet
the full requirements of the College’s rigorous curriculum. As an advisory body to the Dean, the
Admissions Committee is instructed to exercise judgment on behalf of the faculty to recommend
the entering class, and to consider character, extracurricular achievement, and overall suitability
for the pharmacy profession based upon information in the application, personal statements, essay
writing, letters of recommendation, and personal interviews.
College of Pharmacy Technical Standards (continued)


Graduates of colleges of pharmacy must have the knowledge and skills to function in a broad
variety of clinical, administrative and leadership situations and to render a wide spectrum of
pharmaceutical care. The Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Pharmacy acknowledges
Section 504 of the 1973 Vocational Rehabilitation Act and PL 11-336, the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) 1993, but ascertains that certain minimum technical standards must be
present in the prospective candidates.
The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education requires that the curriculum provide a general
professional education, enabling each student to eventually practice as a pharmacist generalist.
This requires the development of broad knowledge, skills, behaviors, ongoing self-directed
learning, and the eventual ability to deliver competent pharmaceutical care within a reasonable
timeframe and within the context of legal and ethical framework of the profession.
The basic biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences curricula include the study of biochemistry,
medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, toxicology, pharmacogenomics, microbiology,
immunology, physiology, biotechnology, pharmaceutics, pharmacology, pathology and
pathophysiology; all within the context of application to solving clinical problems. The practice
skills curriculum includes the behavioral, administrative, supervisory, economic, legal, ethical,
analytical, integrative, historical and contextual aspects of pharmacy practice. The clinical
sciences curriculum examines the principles of therapeutics so that students gain an understanding
of the knowledge and skills necessary to administer therapeutic agents. The biomedical sciences
and clinical practice skills courses are interwoven and are designed to establish a core of
knowledge necessary for understanding pharmacotherapy and undergoing advanced clinical
training on rotations. The clinical curriculum includes diverse experiences in primary care, in
ambulatory and inpatient settings, and in specialized environments such as long-term care and
managed care or home infusion practices. The biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences, practice
skills, and clinical experiences develop the ability to practice pharmacy with the goal of providing
cost effective improvement in patient outcomes, independently or with a team of other health care
professionals. Each student is required to pass all courses in the curriculum, IPPEs, APPEs, and
other requirements in order to graduate.

Technical Standards
The technical standards specify those attributes the faculty considers necessary for initiating,
continuing, or completing a high quality pharmacy education program, thus enabling each
graduate to enter practice, residency, or fellowship training. The faculty has responsibility to
monitor the maintenance of these standards. Students must be able to perform independently all of
the described functions.
The six standards listed below describe the essential functions students must demonstrate in order
to fulfill the requirements of a general pharmacy education, and thus, are prerequisites for
entrance to, continuation in, and graduation from the College of Pharmacy. A candidate for the
Doctor of Pharmacy degree must meet or exceed the required aptitude, abilities, and skills in six
areas:
Observation;
Communication;
Sensory and Motor Coordination and Function;
Intellectual, Conceptual, Integrative and Quantitative Abilities;
College of Pharmacy Technical Standards (continued)

Behavioral and Social Attributes; and
Ethical Values.
Each area is described in further detail later in the document.

Admissions, Progression, and Graduation
The College of Pharmacy will consider for admission any applicant who demonstrates the ability
to perform or to learn to perform the skills listed in this document. Applicants are not required to
disclose the nature of their disability(ies), if any, to the Admissions Committee. However, any
applicant with questions about these technical standards is strongly encouraged to discuss his / her
specific issue(s) with the Associate Dean of Student Affairs prior to the interview process. If
appropriate, and upon the request of the applicant, reasonable accommodations will be provided.
This commitment also holds for current students whose health or abilities change while enrolled in
the program.
The College of Pharmacy recognizes that certain student disabilities can be accommodated
without compromising the standards required by the college and the integrity of the curriculum.
Technological compensation can be made for some handicaps in these areas, but a candidate
should be able to perform in a reasonably independent manner. The College is committed to the
development of innovative and creative ways of opening the curriculum to competitive and
qualified disabled candidates, while protecting the care of patients. The use of a trained
intermediary means that a candidate's judgment must be mediated by someone else's power of
selection and observation. Therefore, third parties cannot be used to assist students in
accomplishing curricular requirements in the six skill areas specified above.
Certain chronic or recurrent illnesses and problems that interfere with delivering or providing
patient care or compromise patient safety may be incompatible with pharmacy training or practice.
For example, testing positive for hepatitis B may be considered a reason for dismissal as exposing
patients to this threat is unconscionable. Other conditions that may lead to a high likelihood of
transmission of disease should be carefully considered. Deficiencies in knowledge base, judgment,
integrity, character, or professional attitude or demeanor, which may jeopardize patient care, may
be grounds for course or APPE failure and possible dismissal.

Skill Areas
A student must meet or exceed the required aptitude, abilities, and skills in areas identified below.

Observation
Students must be able to observe demonstrations and conduct exercises in a variety of
areas related to contemporary pharmacy practice, including but not limited to monitoring
of drug response and preparation of specialty dosage forms and experiments in the basic
sciences. A student must be able to observe a patient accurately at a distance and close at
hand, noting nonverbal as well as verbal signals. The student must be able to observe and
interpret presented information. Specific vision-related requirements include, but are not
limited to the following abilities: visualizing and discriminating findings on monitoring
tests; reading written and illustrated material; observing demonstrations in the classroom or
laboratory, including projected images; observing and differentiating changes in body
movement; observing anatomic structures; discriminating numbers and patterns associated
College of Pharmacy Technical Standards (continued)

with diagnostic and monitoring instruments and tests; observing a patient’s environment;
and competently using instruments for monitoring drug response. Observation requires not
only the functional use of the sense of vision, but other sensory modalities as well such as
hearing and other somatic senses. Observation can be enhanced in some situations, for
example, by the use of the sense of smell.
Communication
A student should be able to speak to, hear, and listen to patients in order to elicit
information; describe changes in mood, activity, and posture; and perceive verbal as well
as nonverbal communications. Students must be able to relate effectively and sensitively
with patients and their caregivers and or partners, and convey a sense of compassion and
empathy. Students must be able to communicate effectively and sensitively with patients
and faculty and staff at the College. Communication includes not only speech, but also
reading, writing, hearing, and computer literacy. Students must be able to communicate
quickly, effectively and efficiently in oral and written English with all members of the
healthcare team. Specific requirements include but are not limited to the following
abilities; communicating rapidly and clearly with members of the health care team
individually and collectively; eliciting a thorough medication and medical history; and
communicating complex findings in appropriate terms that are understood by patients and
their caregivers, partners, and various members of the healthcare team (fellow students,
pharmacists, faculty and staff members, physicians, nurses, aides, therapists, social
workers, and others). Students must learn to recognize and promptly respond to emotional
situations such as sadness, worry, agitation, and lack of comprehension of communication.
Each student must be able to read and record observations and care plans legibly,
efficiently and accurately. Students must be able to prepare and communicate concise but
complete summaries of individual activities and decisions and complex, prolonged
encounters with patients. Students must be able to complete forms or appropriately
document activities according to directions in a complete and timely fashion.

Sensory and Motor Coordination and Function
Students should have sufficient motor function and skills necessary to perform basic tasks
in the practice of pharmacy and to elicit information from patients by various screening
maneuvers. A student should be able to execute motor movements reasonably required to
participate in the general care and emergency treatment of patients. They must be able to
respond promptly to urgencies within the practice setting and must not hinder the ability of
their co-workers to provide prompt care. Examples of such emergency treatment
reasonably required of pharmacists include arriving quickly when called, administration of
cardiopulmonary resuscitation, application of pressure to stop bleeding, participating in the
initiation of appropriate procedures, rapidly and accurately preparing appropriate
emergency medication, and the preparation of sterile intravenous medications. Such
actions require coordination of both gross and fine muscular movements, equilibrium, and
functional use of the senses of touch and vision.
Students must have sufficient sensory and motor function to monitor drug responses and to
prepare and or dispense pharmaceuticals. A candidate should be able to perform basic
laboratory tests (e.g., blood glucose and lipid levels), administer immunizations
College of Pharmacy Technical Standards (continued)

(intramuscular and subcutaneous), compound sterile and non-sterile dosage forms, use
current technology for drug information evaluation, read EKGs, drug blood levels, and
other laboratory results. It is also necessary for the student to be able access drug and
disease information sources (both paper and electronic) within a reasonable timeframe and
record data correctly so that it is clearly understood by other health professionals.

Intellectual, Conceptual, Integrative and Quantitative Abilities
A student should possess sufficient intellectual, conceptual, integrative and quantitative
abilities to complete a rigorous and intense didactic and experiential curriculum. These
abilities include measurement, calculation, rational reasoning, problem analysis and
solving, decision making, judgment, numerical recognition, information integration, and
solution synthesis. In addition, the candidate should be able to comprehend threedimensional
relationships and to understand the spatial relations of structures.
Especially important is the appropriate and rapid calculation of dosages for a variety of
patient-specific conditions such as renal or hepatic failure, obesity, cardiac or respiratory
arrest, etc. Additionally, calculations involving appropriate dilution or reconstitution of
drug products, electrolytes, etc. must be made accurately and quickly. Problem solving and
critical skills demanded of all pharmacists, requires all of the abovementioned intellectual
abilities and must be performed quickly, especially in emergency situations. Students must
be able to identify significant findings from history, physical assessment, and laboratory
data; provide a reasonable explanation and analysis of the problem; determine when
additional information is required; suggest appropriate medications and therapy; develop
appropriate treatment plans to improve patient outcomes; develop patient counseling
information at a level of comprehension suitable for each individual patient; and retain and
recall critical information in an efficient and timely manner. The ability to incorporate new
information from peers or teachers, and to locate and evaluate new information from the
literature to be used appropriately in formulating assessments and pharmaceutical care
plans is essential, as is good judgment in patient assessment and therapeutic planning for
disease management. Students must be able to identify and acknowledge the limits of their
knowledge to others when appropriate and be able to recognize when the limits of their
knowledge indicate further study or investigation is essential before participating in
decision making. Students must be able to interpret graphs or charts describing biologic,
economic or outcome relationships. A student must be fully alert and attentive at all times
in clinical settings.

Behavioral and Social Attributes
Empathy, integrity, honesty, concern for others, kindness, patience, good interpersonal
skills, interest and motivation are all personal qualities that are required. Students must
possess the emotional and mental health required for full use of their intellectual abilities,
the exercise of good judgment, the prompt completion of all responsibilities attendant to
the screening and care of patients, and the development of mature, sensitive, and effective
relationships with patients of differing cultures and backgrounds. Students must also be
able to develop mature, sensitive, and effective relationships with patients and their
caregivers and partners, providing comfort and reassurance when appropriate.
College of Pharmacy Technical Standards (continued)

Students must possess adequate endurance to be able to tolerate physically, intellectually,
and emotionally taxing workloads and to function effectively under stress or with
distractions. At times this requires the ability to be aware of and appropriately react to
one's own immediate emotional responses and environment. For example, students must
maintain a professional demeanor and organization in the face of long hours and personal
fatigue, dissatisfied patients, and tired colleagues.
All students are, at times, required to work for extended periods, occasionally with rotating
shifts. They must be able to adapt to changing environments, to display flexibility, and to
learn to function in the face of uncertainties inherent in the clinical problems of many
patients. Students must also develop the skills necessary to instruct and supervise technical
personnel assisting with the delivery of pharmaceutical services. Students are expected to
accept appropriate suggestions and criticism and if necessary, respond quickly,
appropriately and cooperatively by modification of behavior. Empathy, patience, integrity,
concern for others, interpersonal skills, interest, and motivation are all personal qualities
that should be assessed during the admission and education processes.

Ethical Values
A student must demonstrate the highest level of professional demeanor and behavior, and
must perform in an ethical manner in all dealings with peers, faculty, staff, and patients.
Students must also be able to develop professional relationships with patients and their
caregivers and partners while protecting patient confidentiality.
Students must also meet the expected ethical standards set forth by the pharmacy
profession. Good moral character, decent values and principled judgment are paramount
attributes for being a professional. In order to participate in key components of the
curriculum, a student must be able to obtain and maintain a valid Pharmacists Intern
License from the Texas State Board of Pharmacy and pass requisite criminal background
checks and random illegal drug screens required by the Board or affiliated clinical
institutions. Questions of breech of ethical conduct will be referred to the Associate Dean
of Student Affairs for resolution under the Student Code of Conduct.

In Summary
Candidates for the Doctor of Pharmacy degree must have somatic sensation and the functional use
of the senses of vision and hearing. A student’s diagnostic skills will also be lessened without the
functional use of the senses of equilibrium, smell, and taste. Additionally, they must have
sufficient exteroceptive sense (touch, pain, and temperature), sufficient proprioceptive sense
(position, pressure, movement, stereognosis, and vibratory), and sufficient motor function to
permit them to carry out the activities described in the section above. Students must be able to
consistently, quickly and accurately integrate all information received by whatever sense(s)
employed, and they must have the intellectual ability to learn, integrate, analyze, and synthesize
data. Finally, students must have good moral character, decent values and principled judgment and
are expected to meet the ethical standards set forth by the pharmacy profession.
Any faculty or administrative team member may question any enrolled student’s or candidate’s
(for admission) ability to meet any technical standard. A request for such an investigation of a
College of Pharmacy Technical Standards (continued)

specific individual must be made in writing to the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs (for
currently enrolled students) or the Associate Dean for Student Affairs (for applicants), detailing
the reasons why such an evaluation is deemed necessary. The Dean will be notified if such a
request is granted. The procedures outlined in the Operative Policy section at the end of this
document will be followed if such an action is taken.

Applicable Technical Standards Requirements

Candidates
1. An abbreviated copy of the Technical Standards will be included as part of each
application packet. The copy is for information only and requires no action on the part of
the applicant.
2. At the time a letter of acceptance is tendered to an applicant, the letter will be accompanied
by the Technical Standards adopted by the faculty and required for completion of the
College of Pharmacy’s curriculum. At that time, the candidate must respond in writing that
she / he does (or does not) accept the offer of admission. Furthermore, the candidate must
state in writing that she / he has read the Technical Standards for Completion of the
Curriculum and that she / he can perform and meet the technical standards with or without
reasonable accommodation.
3. If the candidate does require any specific accommodation, the accommodation must be
specifically stated in writing. Further, the candidate will be required to submit written
verification of disability from a licensed physician or qualified licensed professional with
expertise in the area of the disability and specific recommendations for accommodation.
Such verification must be mailed from the appropriate professional directly to the
Associate Dean for Student Affairs.
4. The Associate Dean of Student Affairs will confer with appropriate System and University
officials, with legal counsel if indicated, and with at least one HSC faculty member who is
conversant with appropriate testing for and accommodation for the specific disability. This
group may require further examination and/or testing by a professional approved by the
College. Such examination/testing would be at the candidate’s expense. The additional
documentation will be reviewed by the above group which then will make a decision
regarding the student's ability to meet the standards for completion of the curriculum with
reasonable accommodation.
5. If the candidate is judged to be able to meet the technical standards, the Associate Dean of
Student Affairs will notify the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs in writing regarding
the specific accommodation(s) to be provided to the student. The student will receive a
copy of that letter.
6. If the candidate desires any change in accommodation, either deletion or addition of
