Introduction
Transition to Pharmacy Practice 3 is a bridging unit for students who have successfully completed Years 1 and 2 of the Bachelor of Pharmacy at International Medical University (IMU), Malaysia. This unit enables IMU students to articulate into the University of Tasmania Bachelor of Pharmacy program at the third year level.
The unit focuses on providing students with the necessary background on pharmacy practice in Australia and the Australian health care system, building communication skills and bridging content in pharmacology. The pharmacology content will focus on the Central Nervous System.
