The didactic course work is taught utilizing a combination of video recordings, interactive web-based case studies, detailed syllabi, and textbooks suitable for the nontraditional learner. Each course has an assigned instructor who is available to students via telephone or email for questions or assistance. Examinations are administered either online or by a proctor identified by the student and approved by the program.

These didactic courses constitute 37 credits of academic work. Students may petition for waivers of didactic course work contingent upon proof of equivalent postgraduate study within the last 8 years by official transcript and approval of the course instructor. Students holding a current board certification in pharmacotherapy (BCPS) must complete 8 credits of Therapeutics modules. These credits may be any combination of modules as designated by the student.

The Non-T program does not function on a traditional semester calendar. Students may register for and complete courses in their own time frame. It is recommended that students complete one credit per month. Students will not be allowed to stay in the didactic portion of the program longer than 3.5 years.

Progression

It is recommended that students complete all didactic courses within three calendar years after enrolling in the program. While there is no established time limit for completion, the Non-T Program reserves the right to require any student to retake any course work which is more than six years old from the date of original course registration. Thus, any student who takes more than six years to complete the program may be required to retake courses the program considers to be time-sensitive in nature.
