18 PHRM3101/PHRM3102 Hospital Placement
Purpose
You will have the opportunity to experience hospital pharmacy and to observe or be observed completing two to three entrustable professional activities (EPAs).
- Taking a medication history
- Educating a patient on their medication(s)
- Chart review
Placement Structure
- 1-week full-time placement.
- You will shadow the hospital pharmacists and assist when practical.
- You may be supervised by multiple pharmacy staff over the week.
Assessment
- Complete a self-assessment of where you feel you could improve.
- Based on feedback from your preceptor, plan two learning goals for the following semester.
- Receive a level of entrustment from your preceptor based on their observation of your performance.
- Students are assessed on their learning plan and reflections, not the level of entrustment.
To Know
- Placements are sourced by the WIL Partnerships Coordinator and students are allocated based on their term address.
- Students wishing to complete a rural placement should email placements@pharmacy.uq.edu.au in advance of placements being allocated to see whether this may be possible.
- In ePortfolio please send your submission to your preceptor (the pharmacist you shadowed) rather than the hospital, as only 1 email address can be associated with each site. Note that your preceptor in ePortfolio may differ from the person listed in InPlace, who is typically the Clinical Educator.
- Instructions for adding a preceptor can be found in the ‘How To Guide’ section of this handbook.
