Postgraduate Clinical Pharmacy

About the Program

The University of Queensland's School of Pharmacy has an established suite of graduate programs for practicing pharmacists. These programs are aimed at extending expertise and understanding in many domains of clinical pharmacy practice to optimize patient outcomes within a complex health environment.

The programs can be studied completely online in a flexible but structured format. Offering the best of both worlds, two optional face to face intensive weekends will allow in depth practical application in lieu of some online. The programs also involve some small group interactive learning and online tutorials with specialists and experts.

A multi-disciplinary team approach is used in the delivery of all programs, which includes input from clinical pharmacists, medical practitioners, academia and government agencies from metropolitan and rural environments.

Online tutorials will usually be held from 7-9 pm (Brisbane time) once a month for each individual course. Optional, intensive weekend workshops will be held at the beginning of semester 1 and during semester 2.

Why undertake a Postgraduate Clinical Pharmacy program?

The professional roles of pharmacists are continuously evolving. The Postgraduate Clinical Pharmacy Program at UQ is supporting pharmacists into the future by facilitating the advancement of their skills, knowledge, understanding and confidence to practice competently in an ever changing healthcare environment.

The WHO concept of the 8 Star Pharmacist lends itself to a broad and holistic approach to pharmacy education and practice. It envisions pharmacists as care-givers, decision-makers, communicators, managers, life-long-learners, teachers, leaders and researchers. It is used as a framework for developing scope of practice and expertise as a clinical pharmacy practitioner.

While focusing on evidence-based, patient-centered care and up to date management of pharmacotherapy the program offers opportunities for hospital and community pharmacists to extend their practice in all WHO Star Pharmacist domains.
In addition, by completing the Clinical Pharmacy Program students will accumulate evidence for a portfolio that that can support all of the seven key domains of the Advanced  Pharmacy Practice Framework in Australia.
