An integrated curriculum is one where the summation of different academic disciplines forms a coherent whole and, importantly, where the relationships between the different disciplines have been carefully and strategically considered when forming the composite. Within pharmacy curriculum integration is important in order to produce graduates who have the capacity to apply their knowledge to a range of complex problems where available information is often incomplete. This paper discusses the development of an integrated curriculum in which students are presented with an organized, logical sequence of material, but still challenged to make their own integrations and develop as integrative thinkers. An evidence-based model upon which an interdisciplinary undergraduate pharmacy curriculum can be built is presented.
整合课程是指不同学科的总和形成一个连贯的整体，重要的是，在形成这个综合体时，不同学科之间的关系已经经过仔细和战略性的考量。在药学课程中，整合很重要，以便培养出有能力将其知识应用于一系列复杂问题的毕业生，而这些问题中的可用信息往往是不完整的。本文讨论了一种整合课程的开发，在该课程中，学生将接触到有组织、合乎逻辑的材料序列，但仍面临挑战，要进行自己的整合并发展成为综合思考者。本文还提出了一个基于证据的模型，在此基础上可以构建跨学科的本科药学课程。
