Practice Lab

This 2,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility, slated to become operational by the end of the Spring 2008 semester, will be able to accommodate up to 48 students at a time. It will contain a simulation model pharmacy as well as patient counseling suite.

The Model Pharmacy

The main model pharmacy consists of a medication order processing area which will house 14 order entry terminals, over-the-counter products and robotics. The order entry terminals will use order processing software that is representative of current systems in place in practice. Students may also have exposure to new technologies which enhance safe medication practice, such as e-prescribing.

Patient Counseling Suite

This site's patient counseling facilities will enable students to practice simulated counseling. These counseling areas will be used for several purposes. Students will use this area to counsel mock patients on prescriptions processed in the dispensing area. In addition, these interactions can also facilitate medication therapy management sessions with mock patients. These areas will also provide the opportunity for students to gain practice with resources related to informatics.
