PHM172H1: Pharmacy Practice Skills & Simulation 2

40T

This 8-week course is the second in a series of six pharmacy skills and simulation focused courses where students will apply knowledge and develop skills needed to provide patient-centred pharmacy care. Students will engage in guided, independent, and collaborative learning experiences such as conducting patient interviews, gathering and interpreting health and medication histories, performing physical assessments, and evaluating appropriateness of drug therapy. Students will engage with point of care testing (POCT) and interpret these results to assist in optimizing patient care. Demonstration and education of devices and medications commonly used in cardiovascular, respiratory, and diabetes monitoring and treatment will be a focus. Students are expected to continue to adhere to legal and ethical practices, demonstrating responsible decision making that prioritizes patient safety and fosters culturally competent care.
