Pharmacy Practice C further develops the knowledge, behaviours and skills introduced in earlier Pharmacy Practice courses. In this course you will complete your studies of minor health conditions that present in community pharmacy, including the provision of Emergency Contraception.
This course will develop your skills in applying the principles of Pharmaceutical Care to advise and assist individuals and healthcare providers in the management of complex and chronic disease states.
This course includes a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in community pharmacy setting where feedback from industry and/ or community will be integral to your experience. You will reflect on your experiences during the placement to inform your own professional development.
Work Integrated Learning:
Students enrolled in this course will be required to undertake placement as part of the assessment of the course. A number of mandatory requirements must be met by students to ensure eligibility for placement. Further details on each of these are available in Part B of the Course Guide and on MyRMIT.
There is no flexibility with these requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE COMPLETED. Any student who has not provided this information will not be able to attend placement and will receive a fail grade for the placement course.
Students need to be able to meet the inherent requirements of the program. At any time prior to or during your placement, if there are concerns raised related to your fitness to practise the WIL/clinical coordinator can request that you gain full medical clearance to continue your placement.
