Course description

Each student will be assigned to a supervised placement in an experiential placement site that promotes the ideals and principles of Quality Use of Medicines (QUM). These sites may include all areas of pharmacy practice (hospital, community), pharmaceutical industry, regulatory bodies and academia. Placements may also be in other health care areas dealing with medications, (e.g. aged care/nursing homes, domiciliary health care, and working in association with other health care professionals). The QUM placement may be sited in an urban or rural Australian area or located outside Australia. 

The project is workplace-based, to be relevant to the student and also benefit the QUM activities at the workplace. The placement starts two weeks prior to Week 1 of the semester and concludes at the end of Week 4 of the semester. During the 6-week placement (minimum of 180 hours), you will gain daily experience at the placement site and conduct a short research project. At the end of placement, students are required to present their project as a written research report and a digital poster oral presentation. 

PHRM4071 is a compulsory 6-week research-focussed placement course for all Year 4 students except those students undertaking the elective Major PHRM4080 program.
