IPPH 590Special Topics In Industrial And Physical PharmacyAll1-6
 Special topics in selected areas of industrial and physical pharmacy.
IPPH 590AFood and Drug LawFall3
 This first course in Food and Drug Law is aimed at having the student gain a basic understanding of the origins, structures, impacts, and relevance of the myriad of laws in place to regulate the manufacture and distribution of drugs and devices. The purpose is to have the student - while not knowing all the laws or where they are found - at least know that there are laws governing situations encountered. The emphasis is to be on the purpose of the laws and their applicability to drug manufacturing as well as to be able to describe the elements in the laws/regulations that trigger the application. The approach will be mainly a macro study, with some exceptions.
