Intern Training
November 16, 2010
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia
now offers intern training.
This program provides access to
workshops conducted by some of
the most skilled pharmacists in the
nation.
The Australian Pharmacy Council
has accredited the Guild’s program,
which is based on the very
successful program previously
offered through the Pharmacy
Board in Tasmania for the past ten
years.
National President of the Guild
Kos Sclavos said, “The Guild is
delighted that our members will
have access to such an intern
program.
“We are looking forward to being
able to support them as preceptors,
and their interns as the community
pharmacists of tomorrow.”
The Guild has been very successful
in providing pharmacy assistant
training for many years, and that
same care and support will be
provided to interns and Guild
members.
The Guild Intern Training Program
incorporates workshops, online
activities, workplace assessment
and written assignments.
Clinical tutors will visit interns and
preceptors twice a year on site to
ensure that all is going well.
Both preceptors and interns will
also have access to a dedicated
website where they can access
information and share issues.
They will also have access to
unique eLearning programs.
Workshops offered under the
program by a range of specialty
speakers and experts will include
wound care, diabetes, asthma
management, and specialist
prescribing.
Initially the program is available in
Tasmania, NSW and Queensland,
but will be expanded nationally over
time.
