Workshop 2 - Competencies in Practice: Collaborative Experiential Placement Task Development Workshop

Following the 2007 APSA Education Forum, the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (formerly Carrick) has funded pharmacy to develop quality experiential placement tasks.

This half day session is a practically –oriented workshop involving an online process. Pharmacy academics, professional and registration representatives and students will work together to develop comprehensively-planned tasks such that competencies and other outcomes are explicit.  An educational template and some curriculum planning models for supporting integrated planning processes will be used. Workshop groups will be supported by previously trained colleagues and tasks will be developed and disseminated among workshop attendees and through the central repository website.

Tasks such as primary care assessment, medication case studies and linking with other health professions are some of the workshop areas.

Attendees will be provided with further information after registration about the task areas, interests and willingness to bring along curriculum examples to share.
