Clinical Abilities Lab II is the second course in the Clinical Abilities Lab series. The series of courses occur during the second professional year of the PharmD curriculum. This lab-based course provides students with hands-on experiences and practice to achieve proficiency in the abilities, through integration of knowledge, skills, behaviors, and values, that are essential for a pharmacy practitioner to provide patient care using the pharmacists’ patient care process. The Clinical Abilities Lab also provides students opportunities to practice and develop trustworthiness when performing entrustable professional activities (EPAs). Students will apply and integrate knowledge from the Pharmacotherapy course sequence to patient cases. Throughout the Clinical Abilities Lab series, students will practice communication with patients and other health care providers, educating patients and caregivers on medications and self-monitoring devices, patient interviewing skills, physical assessment, performing prescription drug utilization reviews, and prescription verification. Knowledge of commonly prescribed medications, drug information, biostatistics, pharmacy law, and pharmacy calculations are reinforced.
