PHAR4100: Clinical Placement C
2024 unit information
The clinical experience program in the undergraduate Pharmacy programs reflects the contemporary healthcare environment. The placements are carried out at hospital and community pharmacies, and include opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry, professional organisations and in rural health settings. By the completion of their course, at least one of those placements will be in a hospital setting. Students can expect that at least one of their placements may be outside of the Sydney metropolitan area, potentially in a rural location. Students must undertake their placements in geographical areas that will provide them with a diverse range of professional experience and can expect to travel up to 1.5 – 2 hours to their placement site from their residential address (registered in Sydney Student). Clinical Placement C (PHAR4100) is a continuation of Clinical Placements A and B (PHAR3100), where students are provided opportunities to observe and participate in real life application of theory and skills learned during on campus course work. Students will have the opportunity to gain experience in practice and knowledge of a variety of professional settings.The overall objectives of the Clinical Placements Program are to familiarise students with their future professional roles and working environments, and to develop professional skills and behaviours. Students will be required to maintain an Portfolio across the Clinical Placements Program of their placement experiences, and attend on campus debriefing sessions. Students will also be evaluated by their preceptors on their professional performance during placement as part of the Preceptor Assessment.
