Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) (Pathway to Master of Pharmacy)

Rules

1. All students who, as part of their program, undertake activities where interaction with patients/the public is required, such as in field or clinical placements/visits and in University clinics and gyms, must demonstrate that they have a current National Police Certificate (NPC) through SAPOL (or their home state police service) and a current Department of Human Services (DHS) Working With Children Check (WWCC) which is valid for the duration of the program. The National Police Certificate will list disclosable court outcomes that may prevent clinical placement involvement. The University has a process for reviewing these outcomes to assess suitability for placement.

2. Student registration with the relevant board of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) is required in order to study this program. Students who do not meet registration criteria and are refused registration by AHPRA, or who have their registration rescinded during the program, will be unable to continue in the program. Further information will be provided by the University with offer letters.

3. Students are required to satisfy the standards of dress and behaviour prescribed by institutions and facilities in which clinical or field placements are undertaken. Failure to satisfy such requirements may prevent them satisfying the requirements for completion of the course.

Notes

1. Students may be required to spend at least one clinical or field placement outside Adelaide.

2. Students are required to undertake professional placements in registered pharmacies or accredited institutions and some of these placements may be held outside the normal teaching weeks of the University.

3. Students are strongly encouraged to study full-time. Students seeking part-time study must discuss this with the Program Director prior to enrolment. Part-time students are normally expected to complete the program in eight years or less.

4. This course contributes towards the honours grade for the program.

5. These courses are scheduled in Study Period 1.

6. Students enrol in one of these placement courses in Study Period 2 and the other in Study Period 5.

7. Prior to commencing the Master of Pharmacy (IMPW) students must be registered as an intern with the Pharmacy Board of Australia. Students who fail to gain provisional registration or who have had their registration rescinded during the program will be unable to continue the program. Students will be required to provide evidence of their registration or application for registration prior to enrolment in IMPW.

8. Students undertaking the Master of Pharmacy (IMPW) program must have arranged to undertake their supervised practice (internship) under the supervision of a preceptor approved by the Pharmacy Board of Australia. Refer to the IMPW program page for further information.
