Basic Professional Practice Laboratories
Working in a dispensary setting, learners will demonstrate the application of knowledge, skills and values discussed in the classroom setting. Fulfilling the course outcomes will require assimilating material from other pharmacy courses, particularly Jurisprudence, Drug Information, Therapeutics and Communication Skills; it is meant to integrate many aspects of these courses. Participants will be expected to prepare prescriptions efficiently and accurately, maintain patient profiles and perform legally required documentation activities, while demonstrating organizational skills. Telephone simulations will provide an opportunity for communication skills to develop. Participants will be trained on a pharmacy computer software system. Working with a team of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and Faculty of Pharmacy undergraduate students, learners are expected to integrate all their skills, while receiving positive and constructive feedback. Completing documentation in the Professional Practice Labs (drug information requests, verbal prescription records, prescription requirements to meet Standards of Practice) will provide focused writing opportunities.
