Emergency Medicine Pharmacy Courses
Master your skills in managing critically ill ED patients with our two Pharmacy courses. Gain essential knowledge, improve decision-making, and receive specialised sepsis and stroke training with expert Emergency Medicine pharmacists.
Course 1: Fundamentals of Contemporary Emergency Medicine Pharmacy
Developed by expert EM pharmacists and EM physicians, this course is designed to provide learners with fundamental knowledge and core skills in the management of critically ill ED patients.
If you are looking to improve your scope of practice in the management of ED patients through access to an innovative program embedded with contemporary clinical practice and delivered by leaders in EM, this course is for you!
Course 2: Emergency Medicine Pharmacy Practice Placement
Developed by expert EM pharmacists and EM physicians, this course is designed to provide learners with the capability to transfer knowledge and core skills developed through the Fundamentals of Contemporary Emergency Medicine Pharmacy course, to real-life clinical practice. The Emergency Medicine Pharmacy Practice Placement will build on the fundamental aspects of management of patients with sepsis and stroke to identify how the EM pharmacist can have maximum impact in stroke and sepsis response teams in the ED. Pharmacists will be credentialed to be able to participate in stroke and sepsis calls in accordance with their local Emergency Department’s policies and governance, upon successful placement completion. In addition, pharmacists will gain exposure to other critically ill patient scenarios such as ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) calls and trauma calls with opportunity to build confidence in closed loop multi-disciplinary communication and up-front decision making through online learning and placement.
The Emergency Medicine Pharmacy Practice Placement course is predominantly practice-based, with the focal aim of developing learner knowledge, while also fast-tracking core skill development and clinical decision-making. If you are looking to improve your scope of practice, as well as your skills and capability in upfront clinical decision-making in the management of critically ill and injured ED patients through mentoring and formal assessments delivered by leaders in EM, this course is for you!
