Additional Course Policies
Course Platform.Students enrolled in 728-742 are required to access the course web page. This forum will be used for general course communications, resources, and submission of assignments.
Due Dates/Deadlines. ALL course activity evaluation forms and required documents must be uploaded by the student to Canvas. The deadline is 11:59 PM on the last day of the rotation. Assignments not complete/posted by the due date and time will result in point deductions at the discretion of the course coordinator.
Experiential Checklist. The Experiential Checklist is required but does NOT need to be uploaded at the end of the rotation.
Attendance. Students are expected to be present at their site 8 hours per day (does not include meals or breaks) Monday through Friday. Weekends are optional. If the student leaves the unit to attend meetings, conferences, etc. please notify your supervising instructor according to your agreed upon approach. See the Attendance Policy for more information. In order to optimize coverage and Instructor interaction, nontraditional hours of attendance (e.g. 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM or 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM) may be negotiated.
Professional Judgement. Student pharmacists can expect to provide information to members of the health care team. Team members don’t expect students to know everything off the top of their head. Be sure of your answers and be willing to look into it more if you aren’t sure. Your recommendations quickly can reach your patients or turn into a policy. A good approach is to say “I don’t know, but I will look it up for you.” Please develop an agreed upon process to communicate these recommendations with your pharmacist of the day.
