Applied Patient Care III

Catalog description

Applied Patient Care III is the third of six integrated patient care skill development courses in the School of Pharmacy curriculum. It is a patient‐centered course that uses simulated patient scenarios and case studies to build students’ foundational skills in drug information retrieval, patient interviewing, patient education, and critical thinking in the context of pharmacy’s multiple disciplines. The first two courses in this series focused on the specific direct patient care skills of gathering a medication list, providing patient education, conducting a comprehensive interview of a new patient, and providing a verbal care plan to a patient with much of the therapeutic content coming from self‐care topics. Applied Patient Care III continues to build on these skills while introducing the direct patient care skills of patient follow‐up, clinical documentation, and patient‐appropriate documentation, as well as introducing working with simulated interprofessional charts and multiple providers. It will also continue to develop students’ skills in drug information and health literacy while integrating with the didactic curriculum and the IPPE series. Prerequisites: (PHAR 372 or 5720 ).
