  • PMPR 4182 - Communication Skills for Health Professionals

    (2 credits)
    Prerequisites/Corequisites: Status as a P2 student in the College of Pharmacy.

    All health professionals, regardless of discipline, are called on to be outstanding communicators with individual clients/patients, as well as with groups and communities. The faculty of all of the ETSU Health Sciences Divisions schools believes that communication is the foundation upon which professionalism develops. The skills that are necessary are well defined and are not the same as social communication skills. These skills can be learned, and if learned, will lead to satisfaction and positive outcomes. When not learned, the opposite frequently occurs. The course is oriented to the development of competencies, and this is how you will be evaluated. This course is a beginning. You will receive continuous follow up,  reinforcement, and expansion of these skills throughout your training. The participating faculty are dedicated to helping you to become the best health care communicator that you can possible be.

  • PMPR 4283 - Pharmacy Law and Ethics

    (3 credits)
    This course consists of a study of federal and state pharmacy, drug, and related laws.

Discussion of societal and health care system issues, such as abortion and the right to die, demonstrates the broader societal role of the pharmacist. In light of continuing expansion of the pharmacist’s role in the delivery of healthcare services, attention is given to ethical and legal issues surrounding direct patient care services, including an examination of professional liability (civil, criminal, and disciplinary). While the importance of the above issues has grown significantly in very recent years, these issues have not displaced the need to study the expansive body of traditional pharmacy and drug law.
