This course explores additional information relating to pediatric drug therapy and factors that build on the existing knowledge base of the student, to prepare students to address drug related problems in the pediatric patients and to demonstrate competency in evaluating patient drug therapy in at least two patients as well as numerous case scenarios. Since the class size is kept at about 15 students, a seminar and hands on approach to simulations will be done along with didactic teaching and group discussion. Materials will be provided to supplement classroom interaction; at least one laboratory experience is planned. Discussions will be provided to allow the interchange necessary to explain individual judgments. Active learning processes will be employed in order to facilitate inter-professional communication skills and to allow student's exposure to a variety of pediatric pharmacy practitioners. The course is presented in a series of therapeutic modules facilitated with the use of Blackboard technology.
