Course Title:
Self-Care Therapeutics
Course Description:
Examines the types of medications available without a prescription, traditionally referred to as over-the-counter (OTC). The class is team-taught by the pharmacy practice faculty, and students are exposed to several different teaching styles: didactic teaching, small group discussions/projects, large classroom case discussions, and hands-on learning (for example, using a variety of glucometers, understanding/performing a monofilament exam, or performing subcutaneous injection technique). Covers the recommendation/selection of a specific nonprescription product that would relieve signs and symptoms of common self-treatable illnesses and proper patient education (proper dose, directions for use, possible adverse effects, and contraindications of these medications).
