This pharmacy pre-registration course is designed to assist pharmacy
graduates in the transition from student to independent, competent pharmacy
professional. It helps pre-registrants build upon the knowledge and skills
gained as an undergraduate and apply these in their practice as a pharmacist.
The course enhances problem-solving and pharmacy practice skills as it explores
relevant professional issues through pharmacist-moderated online discussion
forums, seminars and small-group meetings.
The course is approved by the Pharmacy Board of Victoria as a pharmacy
pre-registration training program.
The course is open to holders of a degree or equivalent qualification in pharmacy from Australia, New Zealand, Ireland or the UK. Other overseas applicants must have completed stage one of the APEC examination process. Non-Australian citizens must hold an occupational training visa.
The
course is completed in one year, part-time and is available by flexible
delivery. Students are required to complete two core units in applied pharmacy
practice that combine online case-based discussions, small group meetings and
intensive seminars. Students will also complete computer-assisted learning
packages in pharmacy calculations and law, and participate in the National
Prescribing Service Self-Audits and Case Studies.
The course is designed to integrate with preceptors workplace training
programs. The detailed preceptors guide to the online discussions also enables
them to participate in the program.
This is a non-award program, and students will receive a statement of
attainment only.
