Course description
This Course is the first in the series of only three QUM courses that teach new prescription medicine content within our Program (2nd semester in Year 2, and both semesters in Year 3). 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 and enhance their employability through a variety of Course teachings - acquisition of key core knowledge, practice considerations around QUM, optimising communication and interpersonal skills, critical thinking, problem solving, and participation in experiential learning (community and hospital pharmacy placements).
