PHAR5726: Dispensing Practice
2020 unit information
This unit of study consolidates and brings together the skills and knowledge that students have developed in previous units from year one to semester 1 of year two of the curriculum. The emphasis is on clinical practice and develops the theme that providing medicines is not a single event but a process. Students will dispense or prescribe medicines (including prescription, non-prescription and compounded medicines), assess clinical appropriateness, ensure appropriate legislative requirements are met, provide primary care and promote judicious use of medicines, liaise with prescribers to recommend any changes in the treatment regimen, and communicate effectively. This is achieved using a simulated practice environment. The unit of study is Pass/Fail.
