With Canada's aging population, as well as the accumulation of morbidity that often accompanies aging, it is imperative that pharmacists are adept at identifying and addressing medication-related problems in older adults. Through a mixture of didactic and case-based discussions, students will integrate learning on geriatric-specific issues with previous pharmacotherapeutic knowledge to develop the necessary skills to provide pharmaceutical care to older adults. Students will be expected to develop and demonstrate competence in optimizing drug therapy for older adults with multiple medications and medical issues.

Restriction(s): Completion of Year 2 of the Pharm.D. program.
Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): PHAR 390.0
Note: Students with credit for PHAR 398 Applied Pharmacotherapy in Older Adults cannot take this class for credit.
