Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience- Hospital

8 cr · Undergraduate

This eight week clinical rotation focuses on the provision of patient focused pharmacy care in a collaborative healthcare practice setting e.g. hospital, long-term care, and ambulatory. Pharmacy students will apply the knowledge, skills and abilities they have developed during the previous three years of the PharmD program to further refine their clinical skills in preparation to enter independent practice. Students will serve as an active member of the healthcare team incorporating professional, legal and ethical principles; identifying and resolving drug therapy problems; providing drug information and patient education. As Pharmacy Interns students will gain clinical experience providing safe and effective, patient focused and evidence-informed care to a variety of patients (under the indirect supervision of a pharmacist preceptor) with acute and chronic conditions and across all levels of care offered within the institution as well as for patients in the transitions between levels of care. Registration is normally restricted to students in Year 4 of the program.
