Advanced Professional Practice Labs
Advanced labs provide an opportunity to consolidate jurisprudence, drug information and prescription processing skills in preparation for independent practice e.g. transferring and copying prescriptions, receiving verbal orders for narcotic and controlled drugs and explaining drug plans to patients. Drug information requests will be researched and documented. Compounding calculations, techniques and preparations will be completed. Patient charts will require the preparation of care plans. Prescriptions will be checked for accuracy for release to patients. Workshops on devices (blood glucose monitoring devices) will provide learners with practical, hands-on experience. Tutorials on third-party management issues and payment will prepare learners with practical solutions to common practice problems. Telephone skills will be further developed and applied in the Professional Practice Labs.
