This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides comprehensive information about simulation in pharmacy education, practice and research. It serves as a source for guiding pharmacy academics, clinicians, researchers, supervisors, trainers, and students who wish to learn more about and introduce simulation in pharmacy education, practice and research. Furthermore, this book describes the current practice, the facilitators and barriers for implementing evidence-based simulation, and provides examples from real simulation practice in education, practice and research. Structured into three sections, the first delves into the different types of simulation and their applications within pharmacy curricula. From patient simulation to computer-based programs, this section highlights the diverse opportunities for experiential learning in pharmacy education. The next discusses the role of simulation in community and hospital pharmacy settings. This section emphasizes the importance of communication skills, patient care, and medication safety, demonstrating how simulation can contribute to improved practice and patient outcomes. The last section explores the use of simulation in drug development and research design. This section also examines the ethical considerations, data analysis, and reporting involved in simulation-based research. Comprehensive and practical, Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation: Pharmacy Education, Practice and Research is an essential resource for anyone interested in the expanding field of pharmacy simulation.
