iLEAP:

Brief Description:

iLEAP is designed to provide two (2) pharmacy students with an insight into international pharmacy practice and education specifically in a resource-poor developing country with various public health issues both similar and different from the U.S.  We will be traveling to Sierra Leone (West Africa) for two weeks over the summer to visit the Pharmacy College of Sierra Leone, government hospitals, and community pharmacies in Freetown (the capital of Sierra Leone) and Bo, a more rural city.  The purpose of the visit will be to observe pharmacy practices and interview pharmacy faculty, pharmacy students, healthcare workers (including pharmacists, nurses, physicians, community health workers, etc), community pharmacists/ technicians and patients for information on perceived educational needs in medication use and counseling.  In order to prepare the students, we will meet at least five times before the trip to discuss potential public health issues in Africa, then specifically Sierra Leone, as well as cultural competency.  In addition we will be developing interview tools which will require additional training in interviewing techniques for both one-on-one as well as focus group settings.

Requirements:

Student must be scheduled to enroll in Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences during Summer 2010

GPA  ≥ 3.0   (exceptions may be considered based on other qualifications)

In good academic standing up to date of trip

2 references (clinical professors or experience preferred)
