Students apply concepts learned in previous theory courses to pharmacy case study scenarios using pharmacy dispensing software. Accuracy and completeness of database information and appropriate use of technology systems to support safe product distribution are emphasized. Students apply and demonstrate ethical, legal and professional standards in the lab and simulated pharmacy. Concepts explored in this course provide a foundation for subsequent lab courses in the program.
