Knowledge of commonly prescribed medications, drug information, biostatistics, pharmacy law, and pharmacy calculations are reinforced.

PPR 6840Pharmacy Practice VIII-Pharmacy Ethics and Law 33

This course consists of a study of federal and state pharmacy, drug, and related laws. Through self- study, lecture, and case studies, students learn the substance of these laws and application to pharmacy practice. Discussion of societal and health care system issues, such as abortion and the right to die, demonstrates the broader societal role of the pharmacist. In light of continuing expansion of the pharmacist’s role in the delivery of healthcare services, attention is given to ethical and legal issues surrounding direct patient care services, including an examination of professional liability (civil, criminal, and disciplinary). While the importance of the above issues has grown significantly in very recent years, these issues have not displaced the need to study the expansive body of traditional pharmacy and drug law.

PPR 69016949 ADVANCED PHARMACY PRACTICE EXPERIENCE 04

The overall purpose of the advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) is for the student pharmacist to develop, practice, and gain confidence in clinical decision-making skills for managing pharmacotherapy in a variety of patient populations. APPE courses generally involve direct patient care utilizing the Pharmacist Patient Care Process (PPCP). Students are evaluated via Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) to gain professional skills in various pharmacy practice experiences. Student evaluations are mapped to the corresponding EPA value gauging their readiness for practice. The student also develops inter-professional relationships within the various practices. The PPCP and EPAs are explained at the beginning of each student evaluation for clarity.
