Task description
There are four engagement tasks for PHRM3102. These engagement tasks are designed to be completed in groups. We will use case-based discussions (i.e. mini clinical medication reviews and questions) for you and your group to collaboratively complete during the semester. Time to work on your engagement task will be provided during specified tutorials. It is strongly recommended that students attend these tutorials. Additionally, you can meet with your group members to work on engagement tasks during your PAS sessions on Monday mornings, and via discussion on MS Teams.
Together with your peers, you will work as a group on clinical problems and/or case-based scenarios that will enable you to clarify, explain and/or apply concepts and key information, and subsequently create (and share) resources (for example, medication review, counselling on medications/ a medical device and knowledge of different therapeutic/prophylactic regimens e.g. in cancer). This collaborative learning will enable you to explore and articulate your understanding of key concepts with your peers. Engagement Tasks stem help consolidate your knowledge in medication review and patient education, and provide a key opportunity to prepare for assessments (and attract up to 5% per activity for satisfactory completion).
Please see UQ Blackboard for details on the engagement tasks, which will be released as you progress through the course. Engagement tasks will be described in UQ Blackboard, completed through group collaboration and engagement in MS Teams, and submitted for assessment via MS Teams (or as otherwise advised).
Submission guidelines
The engagement tasks will be made available via UQ Blackboard and conducted via Microsoft Teams for group discussions and also submitted via Teams.
Deferral or extension
You may be able to apply for an extension.
The maximum extension allowed is 28 days. Extensions are given in multiples of 24 hours.

Task description
The oral consultation examination is a school-based exam that is scheduled during the examination period. The exam will likely run over two days; students will be notified of their allocated session via Blackboard prior to the exam revision period.
The skills and competencies assessed at each station are mapped to Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) that will underpin your clinical placements as you progress through the degree.
OSCE Station [A, Medication History and identification of clinical issues; B, Resolving clinical issues and communication; C, Patient Education] [20-minute exam; 35% overall]:
This OSCE station has 3 key parts all on the same case, in a community OR hospital setting.
Part A. Information gathering and history taking, identification of clinical issues and reasoning [15 %]:
- On presentation of a prescription/ hospital medication chart, complete a full medication history with the patient. Determine the use of existing and new medication/s. Ensure both pharmacological and non-pharmacological aspects such as difficulties with taking medications, lifestyle, cultural, and social concerns are ascertained.
- Identify clinical issues. There may be multiple patient-centred clinical issues that are to be identified (in part A) and addressed (in parts B and C).
Part B. Interprofessional Collaboration - Discussion with the Doctor to resolve any clinical issues [10% ]:
- You are required to explain, and communicate with a doctor, any potential clinical issues that are identified as the pharmacist. You will need to make appropriate recommendations and resolve any clinical issues you identify working collaboratively with the doctor.
Part C. Patient Education and Medicines Management [10%]:
- After resolution of the issue(s), students will then provide patient counselling to the 'patient' for the solution that was agreed to with the 'doctor’.
- During this interaction the student will need to explain to the patient any medication changes and how to use the medication(s), including: dose; frequency; duration; adverse effects and their management; monitoring and lifestyle issues in patient centred manner.
- Lifestyle advice should also be offered ensuring a holistic, patient centred approach. Consider the ways in which individual patient factors and social situation affect treatment and outcomes.
