Problem Based Learning in Pharmacy Practice Elective

Catalog description

This course is designed to enhance the students’ application of pharmacotherapeutic knowledge to patient specific scenarios. Students will work in groups and be assigned a facilitator for each session. The use of communication and drug information skills will be stressed in this course as the students work collaboratively within their groups to collect and analyze patient information, access treatment guidelines and medical literature, formulate and initiate patient-specific treatment plans and perform patient education. The opportunity to sharpen these skills will better prepare students for their APPE rotations.
