Learning unit contents
The professional development seminars take place during the official internship during a few "return" days during which the students return to university. During these days, several topics directly related to officinal practice are addressed by various methods: including seminars on learning to solve complex problems, derived from PBL (problem based learning) and role-playing at the didactic pharmacy. Students are invited to reflect on complex issues, involving not only scientific, but also ethical, socio-environmental, economic, legal and psychological difficulties. They also have the opportunity to discuss these issues with experts and professionals in the field.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
During these seminars, you will have to take into account the complexity of the pharmaceutical action, as well as its multidisciplinary aspects.
The self-learning process will help you become more autonomous in analyzing the problems you will encounter during your professional career.
The confrontation of your ideas with those of your peers and the meeting of experts on the ground will allow you to introduce you to the collaboration and will aim at facilitating your integration in the officinal landscape.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Student needs to have begun his training course in community pharmacy.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Attendance at all sessions (about 5 days / year) is required. The agenda is transmitted during the welcome session at the beginning of the semester.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Different seminars (in face-to-face) are organised each year on various subjects (such as diabetes, COPD...). Each seminar lasts half a day. Practical details will be given during an information session at the beginning of the semester.
E-learning complements the face-to-face seminars.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Due to the health situation, the days could be replaced by activities on the online course.

Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
oral exam
- Remote
oral exam
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
If allowed by the health situation, you will be evaluated through an "Objective and Structured Clinical Evaluation" (OSCE) including simulated patients played by qualified pharmacists, volunteers and most often outside the University.
The OSCE is organized in the form of a circuit comprising stations of written or interactive exams (+ rest). You have 7 minutes to complete the requested task at each station. The duration of the circuit is less than 2h / student.
The precise instructions (schedule, sequence number, etc.) relating to this examination will be posted on the online course, ten days before the exam. Nevertheless, the instructions of the previous year are at your disposal and remain valid for the principle of the examination.
An oral communication about the modalities of this exam will also take place during the opening session at the beginning of semester.
In interactive stations, the evaluation is carried out by the pharmacist-evaluators using a criteriated grid provided by the teaching team. The evaluation of the written stations is carried out by the teaching team. The coordinator reserves the right to cancel a station in case of concern.
OSCE is organized once a year, during the June session. It is not materially possible to reproduce the same examination conditions in the second session because of the number of people requested as simulated patients and the extremely heavy logistics of this evaluation. Therefore, there is no examination scheduled in the second session. In case of second session, the note of June is automatically postponed for September.
In view of the extremely heavy constraints of this examination, the coordinator reserves, in case of force majeure, the right to modify the evaluation, whether for the whole class or a given student. The jury and the students would be notified as soon as possible.
