Pharmacy Skills Development V

Catalog description

Reinforces the use of the pharmacists' patient care process and interprofessional practice competencies. Develops patient care skills including medication reconciliation, use of point of care testing devices, smoking cessation, CPR recertification, and pain management. These activities will be applied in IPPE (Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences) at selected service learning clinics and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) practice sites. This is a Service Learning course designed to challenge students to gain a greater appreciation for the profession of pharmacy as it relates to their communities and societal needs. Students will have the opportunity to work in an interprofessional environment with other health profession students and providers to assist the student in developing professional attitudes, judgment, and skills needed to function as a team. Completion of institutional IPPE hours contributes toward one credit in this course.
