Learning Outcomes
Career outcomes
I enjoyed the challenge of finding the answers myself without being hand-fed, knowing my supervisors were always available – the guidance and support I received from my supervisors and coordinators really helped to get me through my postgraduate experience.
Pharmacy practice is changing with time. Pharmacists are becoming more involved in day to day management of complex diseases including:
