Subject to final approval, the School of Pharmacy will be introducing a new suite of postgraduate qualifications
in clinical pharmacy in 2012, which will replace the current qualifications in pharmacy
practice. The programmes have been designed to allow students living
anywhere in New Zealand to enrol. Most of the material will be presented on-line
and will be supplemented by face-to-face weekend workshops for some courses.
The available programmes are:
-
Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Pharmacy - PGCertClinPharm (60 points)
-
Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy - PGDipClinPharm (60 or 120 points)
-
Master of Clinical Pharmacy - MClinPharm (120
or 240 points)
The Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Pharmacy provides an entry point to a
coherent programme of advanced clinical skills for registered pharmacists
working in an inter-professional healthcare environment. The Postgraduate
Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy aims to further develop the clinical and evaluative
skills of pharmacists who hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Pharmacy
(or equivalent). The Master of Clinical Pharmacy degree builds on the
Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy (or equivalent) and includes a
supervised research project in an area of Pharmacy.
Most students will start with the PGCertClinPharm and enrol in 60 points per
year (30 points or one course per semester). Courses completed as part of the
PGCert can be credited toward the PGDipClinPharm. Students who complete the
PGDipClinPharm with an average grade
of B or higher can then get entry to the MClinPharm.
The specialization in Prescribing is open to registered pharmacists who have
completed the PGDip or Masters (or equivalent).
Currently enrolled students will be able to complete the qualifications they
enrolled for
These programmes are currently available only for New Zealand based pharmacists
currently registered with the Pharmacy
Council of New Zealand.
