Students will learn about a broad spectrum of business practices and methods vital to establishing and maintaining a successful innovative pharmacy practice. Students will engage in case discussions and various interactive and didactic teaching modalities to apply skills to successfully operate a clinical practice. The course includes management theories, motivational theories, employment issues, methods of negotiation, strategic planning, SWOT analysis, and continuous quality improvement.

This course is composed of two related experiences – an introductory pharmacy practice rotation and seminar – and provides foundational activities that integrate knowledge and skills. Students will apply to professional practice the facts, information, and concepts gained in didactic coursework. Students will learn about the profession of pharmacy and the role pharmacists play in advancing pharmacy practice, as well as principles of professionalism, change management, interprofessional collaborative practice, law, and ethics. Students will engage in activities designed to facilitate career planning, continuous professional development, and the development of personal and professional leadership skills. 

Activities and experiences that are purposely developed and implemented to ensure an array of opportunities for students to document competency in the affective domain-related expectations of approaches to patient care and personal and professional development. Co-curricular activities complement and advance the learning that occurs within the formal didactic and experiential curriculum.
