Overview: This introductory module includes four sub-units designed to establish foundational knowledge of veterinary pharmacy practice. Topics include the roles of the veterinary care team; key considerations when filling veterinary prescriptions; common prescription errors; regulatory guidance for medication use in animals; and practical aspects of dispensing, including workflow, economics, and drug information resources.
Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians will gain familiarity with veterinary-specific abbreviations, species-specific considerations, and the essential information required to build accurate animal patient profiles. The module also highlights key drug information resources necessary to support safe and effective veterinary dispensing.
Learning Objectives:
Overview: This module is divided into two sub-units and provides an in-depth exploration of how the unique physiological and anatomical characteristics of dogs, cats, and horses influence the way they ingest, absorb, and process medications. Key clinical insights related to pharmacokinetics, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination are presented for each species.
The module also highlights species-specific risk factors for adverse drug events, as well as common causes of calls to animal poison control centers. This information equips pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to better assist pet owners and anticipate potential toxicity risks.
Downloadable resources are included to support application of these concepts in practice.
Learning Objectives:
Overview: This module is divided into two sub-units and provides a deeper focus on error prevention and the practical application of veterinary pharmacy knowledge in patient care. It emphasizes strategies for effectively counseling pet owners and collaborating with members of the veterinary care team.
Due to minimal overlap in pharmacy and veterinary education and practice settings, pharmacists and veterinarians may have limited interaction until a prescription issue occurs. This can contribute to uncertainty, miscommunication, and potential errors.
This final module also offers practical guidance to help prevent common errors, including those related to miscommunication, look-alike/sound-alike medications, dosing, and administration. Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians will also gain tools to confidently support pet owners and respond to frequently asked questions, enhancing both patient safety and client care.
