Learning outcomes of the curricular unit:
The objective of the curricular unit is to provide students with the required competencies to implement in the field services foreseen by Decree 1429/2007, with a special focus in those areas not covered by other compulsory curricular units, namely the provision of patient-centered services and therapeutic management, i.e., pharmaceutical care and medication review, administration of medicines (vaccines and injectables), the provision of first-aid and the treatment of wounds.
It is aimed that through this curricular unit, with a strong practical component, students become competent to implement these services in their future life.
Syllabus:
The publication of the Portaria 1429/2007 introducing new services has made the MICF curriculum unadapted to the new demands of the pharmacist profession. Therefore, this curricular unit arises as a natural response to fill these educational gaps. The curricular unit is divided in three major areas:
- Community-based services, which include all services intended for the community where the pharmacy is located with no special need for individualization of care provided (e.g. first aid).
- Individualized essential services, which include those that should be tailored to the individual needs and special conditions, but do not require great pharmacotehrapy differenciation of the pharmacist
- Individualized advanced services, which include those provided to the individual patient tailored to his need and special conditions and which require a high pharmacotherapy differentiation of the pharmacist
