Special Operations Combat Medic Course (SOCM), takes a student with little to no knowledge of medicine and begins teaching him medical fundamentals. This provides a base on which to build upon as the ensuing modules become increasingly more difficult, with the end product to the combatant commander being a trauma specialist trained in warfare related injuries. The Force Reconnaissance Corpsman receives NEC-8427. Upon completion of SOCM, E-4 and below Corpsmen and medics move on to an operational unit as a Special Operations Combat Medic, while E-5 and above Corpsmen and Medics will go to an operational unit or have the opportunity to attend the Special Operations Independent Duty Corpsman course (SOIDC).

Medical Microbiology & Immunology is a lecture-style course that presents an overview of disease-associated microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. Particular emphasis is placed on the mechanisms of classes of therapeutics traditionally used to combat these disease-inducing microbes. An overview of the immune system will be presented emphasizing the complexity and diversity of the immune response, the molecules involved in regulating the immune system, and the drug interventions that are designed to regulate the immune system.

This course is designed as an orientation to disease as disordered physiology. It provides a comprehensive theoretical foundation of the mechanisms that produce altered physiologic function across the life continuum. Pharmacy students are prepared for courses related to management and preliminary diagnosis and disease processes associated with pathophysiologic dysfunction.

The pharmacology and medicinal chemistry series of courses provide an integrated approach in explaining the mechanisms of drug effects on the human body (i.e. pharmacodynamics) as well as how the human body affects the drugs (i.e. pharmacokinetics). Students will gain a fundamental and practiced knowledge of the principles of drug mechanism of action including receptor theory, membrane permeation, and distribution. Students will be able to explain and predict the chemical basis of drug action and metabolism based on molecular structure of the therapeutic agent. Pharmacology is the study of the chemical or therapeutic molecules that affect living matter, whereas Medicinal Chemistry correlates the chemical structure of these agents to their activity (i.e. Structure-Activity-Relationships), pharmacokinetics, and physicochemical properties. Identifying the molecular features of drugs that influence many of their therapeutic, as well as adverse effects, allows pharmacists to optimize drug therapy and avoid unwanted adverse effects. Thus, a complete understanding of pharmacology and medicinal chemistry enables pharmacists to provide more comprehensive pharmaceutical care to their patients.
