PRX 3111 - Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience IV - Hospital Clinical

0.5 Credit Hours

This is the fourth course in the introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) series designed to expand students’ knowledge of the hospital or health system setting from what was learned in IPPE 3. The IPPE series is designed to be a practical experience that focuses on the development of students’ professional attitudes values, and skills. The experience will increase students’ understanding of the pharmacist’s role and the clinical pharmacy programs available in the hospital setting with a focus on medication safety. The student will be able to describe the role of the pharmacist and pharmacy support staff in the care of patients in the community setting and the relationship of the pharmacy to other settings. Coursework consists of coordinated, student-regulated, experiential activities based in a hospital pharmacy setting. Emphasis is placed on reflective, self-directed learning to enable students to demonstrate knowledge of the role of the pharmacist in the care of patients in the hospital setting and the relationship of the pharmacy to other departments within the realm of hospital pharmacy training under the guidance of a pharmacist preceptor in a hospital pharmacy.
