Interprofessional Education and Clinical Simulation II

Catalog description

This required course is the second course in the IPECS series and is a continuation of PHCY 1105. The course is designed to teach students a consistent approach to the pharmacist patient care process and assess skills-based activities through the use of active learning, team-based learning and clinical simulation. The course will focus on optimizing medication use in the community pharmacy setting to improve patient care, as well as preparing students to be patient advocates, administer and educate about medications and vaccines, and understand strategies to optimize patient outcomes in the community pharmacy setting. Class activities will demonstrate the integral role of the pharmacist as a member of the healthcare team and in providing population health and patient care to various communities with differing needs. Students participate in interprofessional education with other health profession students with the goals of developing mutual respect, understanding of team members’ unique roles and responsibilities, and the importance of collaboration and communication of the healthcare team. May repeat one time.
