511602 - PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES LABORATORY FOR PHARMACY STUDENTS - SKILLS IN CLINICAL PHARMACY: LABORATORY AND INSTRUMENTAL TESTS (POCT)

The course practically integrates the project of the single-cycle master's degree in Pharmacy and CTF to prepare a professional in the healthcare area who, within his multidisciplinary scientific and clinical and technological skills (chemical, biological, biochemical and biomedical, clinical, pharmaceutical, pharmacological, toxicological, technological, legislative and ethical) contributes to the achievement of the objectives defined by the National Health Service to adequately respond to the changing needs of society in the health field, and is able to operate for public health purposes, also through the personalized accompaniment of patients, including chronic patients, for adherence to pharmacological therapies and counseling for healthy people for disease prevention purposes. In fact, the pharmacist today plays a leading role in the clinical field, in prevention activities and in the treatment process, both in the hospital and in the area, and is at the center of the new care model based on proximity, of which the ‘Pharmacy of Services’ constitutes the fundamental pillar. THE PRACTICAL COURSE ALSO PREPARES STUDENTS IN A PRACTICAL AND EXHAUSTIVE WAY TO COMPETENTLY AND CORRECTLY UNDERTAKE THE PRACTICAL EVALUATIVE INTERNSHIP ENVISAGED BY THE NEW TEACHING CURRICULUM. Clinical pharmacy is a discipline of health sciences in which pharmacists provide treatment to patients that optimizes drug therapy and promotes health and disease prevention. Clinical pharmacy practice embraces the philosophy of pharmaceutical care, combining a care orientation with specialized therapeutic knowledge, experience and judgment to ensure optimal patient outcomes. As a discipline, clinical pharmacy also has the obligation to contribute to the generation of new knowledge that promotes health and quality of life. Therefore we want to allow the student to carry out practical activities in order to be able to have a correct methodological approach to the patient with whom he comes into contact. That's why we engage current and future students to improve patient care, promote health equity, and advance science through education, collaboration, innovation, and health policies. The practical activities workshop is a project that was born and lived in the past and is now proposed again after the POSTCOVID phase, and was born from the collaboration between students (who requested it) and Professors, and which has the objective of allowing medical students to acquire greater confidence in the first years with tools and maneuvers that are a basic and fundamental part of the medical profession. The aim is therefore to give the opportunity to dedicate oneself, as the name itself suggests, to the more practical aspects of clinical pharmacy, having sufficient time available to acquire manual skills and dexterity, time which is often limited during current theoretical teaching activities. In this laboratory course there will not only be structured lessons but presentation, analysis and discussion of problems and above all the practical experience of the clinical activities that a pharmacist MUST know and know how to do. The tutors will be a simple, very important support available to students to help them correctly acquire the necessary skills. In this laboratory, practical maneuvers and POCTs are carried out which are important for educational and professional growth. SOME ACTIVITIES - approach to the patient and correct assessment - introduction to laboratory tests -carrying out glycemic finger tests, CNOGA TEST fingers, - PA measurement in various modes, - execution of the ’ electrocardiocardiogram and testing of telemedicine and telepharmacy, - Spirometry - Vaccinations and injections - Modalities of participation in population screening - Methods of performing POCT clinical tests and basic instrumental tests - Execution of simple clinical scores as per existing projects in the area - offer unparalleled training for future careers in pharmacy. Our innovative curriculum focuses on integrative health by putting the patient first. Our goal is to train students in the classroom and in the field to improve the health and well-being of our society. The practical course is an essential component of the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences as it is the home of clinical pharmacy practice, which are developing and offering educational and experiential curricula for the Pharmacy and CTF program.
