PHA503 - Applied Pharmacotherapy in Patient Care B
This unit explores the pathophysiology of the central nervous and cancer and anti-neoplastic medicines. The pharmacology of medicines that affect these systems will be covered and applied as a basis for dispensing and counseling on these medicines. You will also develop medicines management plans for individual patients (patient-centered care). You will work within the ethical, legal, and professional framework studied in Introduction to Pharmacy PHA501. You will expand your triage and communication skills to provide over-the-counter medicine, education, or lifestyle advice or refer the client to other health professionals or services as indicated.
This unit will allow you to translate theory into practice with a one-day a week (7.5 hours) work-integrated learning professional placement in an approved pharmacy setting, including an inter-professional practice component.
