Clinical Residency 2
PHAR5512
This is an experiential unit of study. Off-campus placements will provide students with opportunities to enhance their knowledge and skill-base within clinical and professional settings. The sites may include primary and tertiary health care, general and specialist practice in rural and metropolitan areas, professional organisations and Quality Use of Medicines settings as well as the pharmaceutical industry. Two block placements are undertaken, 1 x 2 weeks normally in July (Block 1) and 1 x 2 weeks normally in November/December (Block 2). Students will create a portfolio that records their activities during the placement block. The activities are triggers for students to appreciate and develop their knowledge of the Professional Competencies Framework for pharmacists. The Portfolio materials will also include a Case Report prepared by the student during each block. The Case Report (max 4 pages) is to be submitted for formative feedback during each block placement, and the Case Report will be submiited as part of the Portfolio for summative assessment after each Block. Students are prompted to be reflective in their learning through the experiential learning program and will write a reflective diary during the placement for assessment.
