Therapeutics in Practice 3B CSA306
In order to commence workplace learning outside of the University of Tasmania (including clinical placements and visits) you will be required to demonstrate compliance with the Faculty of Health Science and the School of Medicine's policies relevant to workplace based learning. These include the Police Check Policy and Procedures, Infectious Disease Policy, Code of Conduct and Student Placement Agreement. Students who do not comply with these policies will not be placed or will be removed from placements and unable to attend hospital rounds and therefore will not be able to complete this unit. Students who have not complied or are unsure of the policies should seek guidance from the School.
Introduction
CSA306 (Therapeutics in Practice 3B) is designed to build upon students existing knowledge of pharmacology, physiology, microbiology and evidence-based health, in order to develop the clinical knowledge and skills necessary to deliver pharmaceutical care. The unit covers the pathophysiology and therapeutic management of common diseases. In CSA306, specific topics include hepatology, neurology, pain, psychiatry, gastroenterology and rheumatology. An emphasis is placed on the application of knowledge to evaluate and advise upon pharmacotherapy in clinical situations. Although CSA306 and CSA322 (Therapeutics in Practice 3A) are separate units, the learning derived from one is complementary to the other. CSA306 carries a weighting of 12.5% (i.e. 12.5 credit points).
