Overview

Foundation Practice 2 is undertaken during a period of supervised practice in the pharmacy internship year. The internship year is designed to provide intern pharmacists the opportunity to develop their competence to practice as independent pharmacists. As part of this unit, the intern will work in a Monash Credentialed Workplace, be supervised by a Monash Credentialed Pharmacy Clinical Educator and work through Monash Credentialed Workplace Learning. A Workplace Learning Plan, developed by the intern's clinical educator with guidance and input from the unit coordinator, will be used to guide and assess workplace activities undertaken during supervised practice. Interns will also be given the opportunity to complete the "Provide First Aid" and "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation" (CPR) certificates as part of this unit. Liaison visits by University staff to meet with the intern and clinical educator will provide opportunities to review progress towards meeting learning outcomes, and to facilitate the integration of theory and practice.
