San Pedro College students present at MONASH INITIATIVE 2022

San Pedro College, Philippines presented students’ research work on the topic ” Confidence Level in Pharmaceutical Care Skills and Experiences on MyDispense Virtual Simulation among Pharmacy Students in the Philippines.” in the recently concluded MONASH INITIATIVE 2022 Monash International Health Science and Technology Conference on September 27 2022.

COIL MyDispense Experience is a big hit

Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) collaborated with the School of Pharmacy from San Pedro College (SPC), Davao City in, the Philippines, to design a virtual dispensing classroom via the Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Global Virtual Classroom to foster a digitally and globally ready learning environment.

The COIL programme’s objectives were to introduce UBD students to cultural immersion and exchange global perspective on pharmacy education and pharmacy practice using MyDispense. Students were given various dispensing cases such as ‘Responding to Symptoms: Skin’, ‘Medicines Management during Fasting,’ ‘Responding to Symptoms: Paediatric Case’ and ‘Respond to Lactation Enquiry.’

The programme, which ran for six weeks from January 24 to February 28, was a great success, with very positive feedback from staff and student participants.
