Emphasizing a healthcare team approach, the course aims to foster the implementation of interventions that promote effective interprofessional collaboration practices in healthcare settings. It also educates learners on conflict management within interprofessional teams. The course introduces Pharmacist Workup of Drug Therapy (PWDT) as a tool for identifying Pharmaceutical Care Issues (PCI) and Drug-Related Problems (DRP) while providing patient care. The IPC course includes both didactic (theoretical, online) and experiential learning (practical, face-to-face) components.
The aim of this course is to equip pharmacists with comprehensive knowledge of the basic principles of drug teratogenicity and drug pharmacokinetics during pregnancy, as well as the necessary skills to perform drug therapy assessments for various medical conditions that require chronic medication use.
