Pharmacotherapeutics
PHAR4811
This unit of study will focus on developing students' understanding of the use of medicines and related appropriate health measures in special patient populations (e.g. paediatrics). This unit of study will draw upon concepts in clinical pharmacy, pharmacokinetics and clinical practice. Through a series of workshops, students will undertake activities including case-study analysis, role-plays, problem solving and case presentations. These activities will help students explore information sources for drug use and integrate knowledge of clinical indices, laboratory data, medication use history and demographic information to optimise drug therapy in response to the needs of individual patients. Students will gain 'hands-on' practice in the provision of patient-specific medicine use education and explore key issues concerning the maintenance of vigilance for medicines use specific to certain population groups.
