PHAR6902: Foundations for Integrative Mental Health and Psychiatric Practice

This course is design to allow students to examine concepts, theories, and paradigms foundational to psychiatric/mental health practice and interprofessional integrative mental health care. Students develop clinical interviewing methods that elicit a client’s health narrative and facilitate the therapeutic relationship. Students also practice techniques that promote beginning skills important in reflective clinical practice. The course is primarily online, with 3 required 3-hr patient care simulations. There will be content posted on the course website for student learning. Activities and assessments include quizzes, patient scenario cases, reflective papers (upon re-watching the video of their interactions with the interprofessional teams and standardized patients during the simulation sessions), and individual and interprofessional group.Pharmacy students need to be PD3 students committed to earning the Interprofessional Integrative Mental Health Focus Area designation. We ask pharmacy students to commit to the entire series (fall and spring electives, and mental health APPE)
