Learning unit contents
The course is organized in the form of workshops or seminars in plenary sessions, spread over the same day.
In one day, you will not become excellent communicators (it can be learned, but not in a short time, nor in a classroom!), but you will be sensitized to the importance of good communication at the community pharmacy. You will understand that this is a competency of the health professional in its own right.
Indeed, the profession is evolving inexorably towards the provision of new services centered on the patient, the good use of the drugs, the support for the therapeutic adhesion and the health literacy. The development of communication skills is therefore a major element of professional development.
This seminar will also give you tips that you will have the opportunity to explore or exploit later, during your internship, activities at the pharmacy didactic later in the curriculum, and more generally during your professional life.
Of course, once these tracks are launched, nothing prevents you, if you have a penchant for communication, to deepen this question in a perspective of personal development. Some optional references will be provided for this purpose.
