In the Dispensing I course, you will develop skills essential to compound therapeutic products. A compounded product is one made specially for patients because commercially available products do not meet their needs. The course will mostly be delivered in practical laboratory classes where you will be supervised by practising pharmacists and technicians with experience in compounding. The skills developed in this course are required for the problem-based learning cases in PHRM4021 Dispensing II.
This course is unique in that is provides you with an opportunity to develop your compounding skills. The focus of this course is on competency and as such all assessments must be passed and will be marked as either unsatisfactory, satisfactory or excellent with feedback provided about the quality of the assessment task. The overall grade for this course will be either:
SY - Satisfactory/Successful completion of a course for which a graded pass is not awarded. No mark is given so courses with this grade are not included in the calculation of your WAM. However, the units of credit are counted as successfully completed, when calculating your academic standing.
FL - Fail: Unsatisfactory performance, below the minimum expected level. This grade characterises work which shows a significant lack of understanding of the topic or its context, and is therefore unsatisfactory.
