Course information
Course-related policies and rulesIntroduction - Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical SciencesFor more than 125 years the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (formerly the Victorian College of Pharmacy) has played a major role in pharmacy education, pharmaceutical sciences research and pharmacy practice research. It is one of Australia's leading schools of pharmacy. The faculty is located at Monash's Parkville campus, in close proximity to Melbourne’s CBD and other leading research organisations, residential colleges and teaching hospitals in the 'Parkville strip'. The Parkville campus is home to the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Science which comprises the largest and most experienced group of pharmaceutical scientists in Australia. The campus has excellent research and teaching laboratories as well as a dedicated pharmaceutical science library and state of the art teaching facilities. Registration as a pharmacist - Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical SciencesTo practice as a pharmacist in Australia it is necessary to be registered with the Pharmacy Board of Australia. The Pharmacy Board has several functions, including:
These functions are covered in more detail via the Pharmacy Board of Australia website at http://www.pharmacyboard.gov.au. Registration standards define the requirements that applicants or students need to meet to be registered and include the following: (i.) An individual applying for initial general registration must undertake an examination (written and oral) determined by the Board. (ii.) An applicant who is an international student must have the necessary English language skills for registration purposes by achieving an overall total score of 7.5 in the IELTS academic module. Test results will generally need to be obtained within two years, but preferably within 12 months prior to applying for registration. Additionally, a current English Language (EL) test result will be required for applicants who did not complete their secondary education in English in specifically listed countries. (iii.) A period of supervised practice, which includes internship, undertaking pharmacy practice under the direct supervision of a pharmacist who holds general registration (a preceptor), while the pharmacist is providing pharmacy services in pharmacy premises or other circumstances as determined by the Board. An approved undergraduate degree in pharmacy, such as that offered by the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is also required. The Pharmacy Board of Australia can advise of further requirements. The above-summarised standards are available in-full along with further standards at http://www.pharmacyboard.gov.au/Registration-Standards.aspx. Period of supervised practice (internship)To undertake supervised practice for initial general registration, interns (pre-registrants) require 'provisional registration' with the Pharmacy Board of Australia, and are known as 'provisionally registered pharmacists'. The Pharmacy Board stipulates that provisionally registered pharmacists must undertake an approved pharmacy internship training program during the course of their period of supervised practice (see requirement vii above), such as the Monash University pharmacy internship program. This program consists of two units: The pharmacy internship program is offered in course 3460 Graduate Certificate in Pharmacy Practice (Internship), or can be undertaken as full-fee single units.
