Pharmacy Intern Training B is designed to be undertaken by pharmacy interns undertaking supervised professional practice while working towards general registration as a pharmacist in Australia, and is intended to complement the learning which occurs in the workplace. It further develops the personal and professional competencies gained on successful completion of an initial pharmacy degree that form the basis of future practice. This unit uses multiple modes of delivery to explore the range of issues that are relevant to the daytoday practice of pharmacy. This unit of study will support graduates’ development and performance in the following domains: professionalism in practice, communication and collaboration; professional expertise; leadership and management; research, inquiry and education.
