PHA4287: Introductory Pharmacy Practice I

The introductory Pharmacy Practice I is designed to expose the student to the practice of pharmacy in community pharmacy practice sites. This course aims to expose the students through a combination of lectures, group discussions, and interactive activities; students will develop a rudimentary understanding of the complexities surrounding pharmacy operations.  In an observational setting, the student will primarily focus on distributive functions and advocacy but may include, at an introductory level, direct patient care (e.g., administration of immunizations, health-related screenings, self-care, medication therapy management services, and collaborative practice), pharmacy operations management, and personnel management.
