PPR 6027 Advanced Community Pharmacy Topics
Lecture: 2 Lab: 0 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 2
Advanced Community Pharmacy Topics is an elective course designed to introduce students to other areas of service within community pharmacy. Upon the completion of this course, pharmacy students earn a point-of-care testing certificate. This course includes pre-reading from current literature and governmental agencies and culminates with a skills assessment. Students learn how to perform four types of specimen collection (oral swab, nasal swab, throat swab, and finger stick); the legal and management issues associated with point-of-care testing and follow-up care; and using infectious disease models, will learn to assess patients, evaluate vital signs and physical findings to determine if POC testing is appropriate. Students also learn more about collaborative pharmacy practice agreements within community pharmacy settings, diabetes education, and advanced medication management therapy services.
