Connecting non-pharmacist faculty to pharmacy practice
1Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, College of Pharmacy, 881 Madison Avenue, Room 445, Memphis, TN 38163, United States.
Abstract:
United States (US) colleges and schools of pharmacy employ faculty from various disciplines. Many of these are basic scientists who do not have professional degrees in pharmacy. Nevertheless, all faculty members in colleges/schools of pharmacy, irrespective of discipline, are expected to possess a conceptual understanding of contemporary pharmacy practice and of the pharmacist's role in the healthcare system. Therefore, an essential element of a non-pharmacist faculty development is to gain and maintain a basic understanding of pharmacy practice. The purpose of this short commentary is to describe a mechanism used at our college that connects basic scientists to pharmacy practice through participation as facilitators in an introductory first-year course focused on foundations of pharmacy and the US healthcare system. Through sharing personal experience with this mechanism, the author aims to inspire non-pharmacist faculty to seek out formal and informal avenues available at their institutions to interface with pharmacy practice.

Introduction to Connective Tissues
Classification of Connective Tissues
Connective Tissue Proper
Connective tissue proper is the most abundant class of connective tissues. As its name implies, it predominantly connects different tissues in the body. Depending on the cell types, ground substance, viscosity, and fiber types in the ECM, connective tissue proper is further categorized into loose and dense....
Embryonic Connective Tissues
The mesenchyme is the first connective tissue that emerges in the developing embryo. It consists of loosely arranged multipotent mesenchymal cells and reticular fibers in the extracellular matrix. This loose arrangement allows easy migration of cells, which is essential for germ layer positioning, patterning, and organ morphogenesis during embryonic development.
Dense Connective Tissue
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
In dense regular connective tissue, fibers are arranged parallel to each other, enhancing its tensile strength and resistance to stretching in the direction of the fiber orientations. Ligaments and tendons are made of dense regular...
Characteristics of Practical Op Amps
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...
