Course description
This Course is the first in the series of three QUM courses (2nd semester in Year 2, and both semesters in Year 3) that teach new prescription drug content within our Program. Students will learn contemporary practice approaches in the areas of central nervous, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems, further developing their skills, knowledge, and professional attributes as `practitioners-in-training'. They will build their individual capacity for learning through a variety of Course teachings - acquisition of key core knowledge, considerations around the QUM in practice, optimising communication and interpersonal skills, critical thinking, problem solving, and participation in experiential learning (community and hospital pharmacy placements).
