PHPR 48000 - Self-Care Pharmacy Practice I


Credit Hours: 1.00. This course is specifically designed to provide students with guided experience in the application of knowledge acquired during previous professional course work to the solution of simulated problems which occur in self-care pharmacy practice. Specifically, the course is designed to introduce students to the appropriate selection and use of nonprescription medications and devices for the treatment of minor health complaints by patients. A principle theme throughout the course is that the solution of all self-care problems (i.e., regardless of the context in which they occur) involves the application of the same basic problem solving process. Course activities, readings and homework assignments will provide students with illustration of how the problem solving process can be applied to specific self-care situations that arise in practice. Active learning methods will be employed to involve students directly in the actual application of this process to simulated practice problems. Topics: Colds, Coughs, Allergies. Typically offered Fall.
