Training Days
You will be invited to attend a three day workshop in March and a three day workshop in August. This is not compulsory for overseas pharmacist interns so a fee for each day does apply. Any overnight accommodation and travel are your responsibility.
Calculations
It is now compulsory for all intern pharmacists to demonstrate competence in pharmaceutical calculations prior to attending the Assessment Centre.
All interns will have the opportunity to achieve the required level of accuracy in calculations.
The tests will vary so that all candidates have an equal chance and that there is no opportunity for cheating.
Overseas pharmacist interns due to attend the Assessment Centre will be notified that they will be required to sit their two calculations tests at their workplace, under the supervision of their preceptor or another pharmacist. Everyone will sit the tests at the same time to maintain the integrity of the assessment.
