Guild Intern Training Program Intern Manual
The Pharmacy Board of Australia and AHPRA
Functions
Supervised Practice Hours
The Pharmacy Board of Australia (the Board) is supported by
the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
Functions include:
The Board requires that you complete a total of 1824 hours in
practical supervised training in the pharmacy. You must apply
to the Board through AHPRA for approval of your supervised
training site. Interns are required to complete a period of
supervised practice in accordance with the requirements set
out in the Board’s Supervised practice arrangements registration
standard to be eligible to apply for general registration.
Supervised practice hours must be undertaken under
the direct supervision of a pharmacist who holds general
registration (not necessarily the approved preceptor).
registering pharmacists and students
developing standards, codes and guidelines for the
pharmacy profession
handling notifications, complaints, investigations and
disciplinary hearings

assessing overseas trained practitioners who wish to
practise in Australia
approving accreditation standards and accredited courses
of study.
Provisional Registration
All pharmacy graduates of an approved program of study must
apply for provisional registration as a pharmacist and meet
the requirements of the Board before they can apply for full
registration as a pharmacist in Australia. Pharmacy graduates
must submit an Application for provisional registration as a
pharmacist for students completing studies in Australia (ASPR-60),
together with an Application for approval of supervised practice
as a pharmacist (AASP-60), before supervised practice may be
commenced.
Board Requirements for General Registration
In order to be eligible to submit an application for general
registration with the Board, interns are required to:
Complete 1824 Board-approved supervised practice hours
Successfully complete a Board-approved Intern Training
Program (ITP)
Complete the written exam, administered by the Australian
Pharmacy Council (APC); and
Pass the Board’s oral examination.
Supervised practice hours must be undertaken regularly
and consistently so that a minimum of 80 hours must be
undertaken in a four (4) week consecutive period. A maximum
of 180 hours in a four (4) week consecutive period may be
counted as supervised practice hours. The hours must be
recorded on a weekly basis and cannot include public holidays
not worked, annual leave or sick leave. Daily starting and
finishing times, and conditions of pay, should be negotiated
with your employer.
Your preceptor must complete the Board’s Statutory Declaration
of Weekly Record of Supervised Practice Hours for Pharmacy Interns
(SPWR-07) for the hours undertaken under their supervision.
You should keep this record as evidence that these hours were
undertaken, and it will need to be submitted when you apply
for general registration at the conclusion of your Internship.
The application for approval of supervised practice as a
pharmacist must include all supervised practice sites which
are to be part of your training program. Rotations to additional
sites which have not been approved by the Board, of up to 180
hours in total, may also count towards your 1824 supervised
practice hours. If you anticipate that you will spend more
than 180 hours at an unapproved site(s), you will need to
submit another Application for approval of supervised practice
as a pharmacist (AASP-60) to the Board, in order to have the
additional site(s) approved.
Guild Intern Training Program Intern Manual

Change of supervised practice or preceptor
Written Examination
If you change your supervised practice site or if there is a
change in preceptor at your current site, you must submit
a new Application for approval of supervised practice as a
pharmacist (AASP-60). You will then need to commence a new
Statutory Declaration of Weekly Record of Supervised Practice
Hours for Pharmacy Interns (SPWR-07) under your new preceptor
or at your new approved supervised practice placement.
Approval must be obtained from the Board before hours can
be counted.
The Written Examination is conducted by the Australian
Pharmacy Council (APC) on behalf of the Board. It consists of
125 multiple-choice questions to be attempted over a period
of three hours which include:
Completion of an Intern Training Program
The Board requires intern pharmacists to successfully complete
an approved Intern Training Program (ITP) during your
supervised practice period. The ITP is a competency-based
training program which facilitates your progress from student
to competent pharmacist by expanding your academic
knowledge with practical experience gained in the supervised
practice setting.
Several components of the ITP year are Board-mandated
requirements. These include:

Extemporaneous product preparation and declaration

Preparation of a Training plan

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Record

Current First Aid certificate.
Further information about these components is included later
in this Manual. Interns need to submit a copy of each of these
documents in their final portfolio submission.

Calculation questions

Forensic/ethics questions; and

Practice-based (clinical) questions
Interns must apply to APC to undertake this examination
and need to have successfully completed a minimum of 30%
of their supervised practice hours required for registration
(547 hours) by the day of the examination. The intern written
examination is held seven times a year, at regular intervals.
Specific information about the requirements of the written
exam can be found in the APC’s Intern Written Examination
Candidate’s Guide. The examination schedule, a Practice Intern
Written Examination Paper and further information is available
at the APC website: www.pharmacycouncil.org.au
Oral Examination
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA)
conducts oral examinations in each State and Territory on
behalf of the Pharmacy Board of Australia. The number of days
on which examinations will be conducted in each jurisdiction
will vary. Interns who have applied to sit the oral exam will be
informed by their local AHPRA office in writing of the date and
location of their examination after the application closing date.
Interns seeking entry to the oral examinations must meet
the entry criteria as published in the Board’s Oral Examination
Candidate Guide in which they must:
have completed 75% of the 1824 approved supervised
practice hours required for registration (1368 hours) prior to
the commencement date of the scheduled oral examination
period; and
hold a current pass in the written examination prior to the
oral examination application closing date.
The oral examination schedule and further information
regarding the conduct of the oral examination is available at
the Board’s website: www.pharmacyboard.gov.au

Guild Intern Training Program Intern Manual
Expectations of an Intern
Your responsibility as an Intern
Professional Conduct and Appearance
It is your responsibility to be informed of all legal requirements
for registration. You should undertake the supervised practice
period with a positive attitude and a commitment to learn
from the practice environment and the practical experience
of the preceptor. This interaction should provide mutual
professional benefits to both parties.
It is expected that interns will conduct themselves in a
professional manner, acceptable to colleagues, clients and
customers. You must always act in accordance with the
relevant law(s) and have a professional responsibility to be
familiar with the Pharmacy Code of Conduct for Registered Health
Practitioners which is available on the Board’s website:
www.pharmacyboard.gov.au under Codes and Guidelines.
You should be prepared to assume specific areas of
responsibility as you become experienced and confident
in those areas, always bearing in mind the final legal
responsibility of the preceptor. At the completion of
the supervised practice period, you should be able to
demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Board, a level of
professional competence in pharmacy practice that meets
the requirements to apply for registration to practise in
the profession and the associated legal responsibility of a
pharmacist.
Compulsory Workshop Attendance
Attendance at Guild ITP workshops is compulsory. Hours
spent attending the workshop days can be counted towards
your total supervised training hours. For interns who may
experience difficulty in attending centralised workshops,
please contact your Guild ITP tutor to discuss the options
available to you.
Fees
On enrolling in the Guild ITP you will have chosen one of
a number of payment options to pay your ITP fees. If you
experience genuine hardship in meeting your payment
obligations you should contact the Guild ITP as soon as
possible to discuss alternative arrangements. A copy of the
Guild ITP Refund Policy is available on the Guild ITP Online
Forum.
Absence
If you are unable to attend your place of employment,
you must notify your employer. If you will be absent for an
extended period of time (not including holidays) you should
also inform your Guild ITP tutor.
If you are unable to attend a workshop or discussion group
you must notify your Guild ITP tutor as soon as possible. You
will be required to complete additional work as determined by
your tutor to ensure you meet the requirements of the ITP.
It is a legal requirement that you remain under a pharmacist’s
direction and supervision at all times. A name tag should
be worn at all times, and must identify you as an Intern
Pharmacist.
Confidentiality
All of the information you are privy to in the pharmacy is
confidential in nature and you must respect this confidentiality.
This requires you to be familiar with the requirements of the
Privacy Act as it relates to pharmacy. It also means that you
must respect the commercial confidentiality of your employer
and their business operations. A confidentiality clause is
included in the Guild ITP Agreement and should be signed at
the commencement of the ITP.
Intern policies and procedures
Access to all intern-specific policies and procedures, including
those relating to intern assessment and progression through
the program, can be found on the Guild ITP Online Forum. For
further advice or guidance, you can contact your Guild
ITP tutor.
Working with the Competencies
Ideally you should be thinking about your day-to-day duties
and identifying behaviours and actions that provide evidence
of your journey to attaining competence.
Competence is a progressive process. Therefore, aspects of
your performance that may seem to be poorly executed are,
in reality, learning opportunities. These experiences should
therefore be included in the portfolio with an emphasis on
how you intend to and have professionally developed from
the experience.
Evidence of Competence Development
Reflecting upon the day and capturing the evidence in
writing allows you to identify aspects of your practice that are
competent and those which require further development.
These actions and behaviours can then be mapped to the
Competency Standards. 
Guild Intern Training Program Intern Manual

Your Preceptor
A preceptor can be defined as:
Multiple workplaces
‘…a person, who teaches, counsels, inspires, serves as a
role model, and supports the growth and development
of an individual … for a fixed and limited amount of
time with the specific purpose of socialising the novice
into a new role...’
In the event you have chosen to work in different workplaces
during your ITP year it is important that you take responsibility
for maintaining and encouraging communication between
your preceptors.
Your preceptor is the pharmacist who takes responsibility for
ensuring that you are directly and appropriately supervised at
all times. They are expected to guide and support you during
your time of developing knowledge, skills and attitudes as you
work towards professional competence.
The role of the preceptor is to facilitate an intern’s learning
rather than to teach. It is expected that your preceptor will act
as a mentor and resource person during the ITP to facilitate
your professional development and to support you to meet
a beginning level competence in relation to the National
Competency Standards Framework for Pharmacists in Australia
2010. As a participant in the ITP, you are encouraged to take
responsibility for your own development and work with your
preceptor.
At all times during the intern year you are required to practise
under the supervision of a registered pharmacist. As with
most workplaces, there can be multiple people (including
locums) that are involved with you during your intern year.
Your employer may not necessarily be your preceptor and
your preceptor may not always be the pharmacist supervising
you. It is important to encourage communication between all
parties through the use of a day book or diary and regular staff
meetings.
However there may be times when further support is required.
In addition to your preceptor, Guild ITP tutors are available for
advice and guidance to further support you during the ITP.
Intern and Preceptor Working Relationship
An independent approach for dealing with most problems
that arise during the program is encouraged. The majority
of issues that exist between interns and preceptors result
from inadequate communication and are easily rectified. If
however, you believe your rights are not being respected, this
is regarded as a serious problem and you and your preceptor
should agree on a time to discuss the issues.
If you and your preceptor are unable to resolve the issues, your
ITP tutor should be contacted to assist. Your tutor may facilitate
a second meeting between you and your preceptor where
you will work together to implement and generate solutions
and actions.
This will enable you to:
have continuity of learning
be able to develop a variety of challenges within each
workplace which are not repetitive
be recognised for your achievements in each workplace.
It is important that you communicate regularly with each
preceptor and ensure that each of them is aware of your
program in the other workplace.
Documentation that may be useful could include your ITP
Training Plan, the use of a diary to record daily/weekly activities
and The Board’s Weekly Record of Practice Hours for each
workplace.
Change of Workplace
In the event you change workplaces, it is important that you
formally document your progress within the workplace you
are leaving. This will enable your new preceptor to get a clear
picture of what you have achieved and what still needs to be
accomplished.
Documentation will include:
endorsed components of the Training Plan that have been
completed
interim assessment completed by your preceptor, with
the realisation some or most of the competencies will not
be achieved yet. Ensure your preceptor adds some
comments to your interim assessment; and that completed
Reflective Learning Experiences and self-learning projects
are signed by your outgoing preceptor; and
the Board’s Weekly Record of Practice Hours for each
workplace.
Change of Preceptor Only
Your preceptor should preferably be the pharmacist that will
be working with you for most/all of your placement. If this
preceptor leaves the workplace, any documentation should be
finalised and signed off and your ITP tutor advised of your new
preceptor. Your outgoing preceptor should also complete an
interim assessment which can be included in your portfolio.
Please note that further requirements are needed to comply with the requirements of the Board. See page 5-6 for further detail.

Intern Portfolio
1. Introduction
Your portfolio should contain a diverse collection
of material that demonstrates your journey of
professional development throughout the ITP. You
should include documents which provide evidence
of the transition you make in your quest to achieve
beginning level competence as a pharmacist.
You should relate the material back to the
competencies to demonstrate how they
have assisted your development.
The key components of the portfolio include:
1. Introduction
2. Training Plan
3. Reflective Learning Experiences (RLEs)
4. Self-learning Projects
5. Health Promotion assignment
6. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) records
7. Extemporaneous product reports and Statutory
declaration from your preceptor
8. First Aid certificate
9. Oral presentation evaluation form
10. Final Preceptor Assessment
11. Additional Portfolio Evidence (APE), if required
12. Conclusion
Each of these components is outlined (right) in more
detail. Copies of each should be included in your final
portfolio submission to the Guild ITP.
Your portfolio should open with a brief statement that
introduces you and the location of your host pharmacy. This
information is helpful for providing information about the
context in which your internship placement was undertaken.
The introduction should include any extra services the
pharmacy provides (e.g. our pharmacy participates in
the opioid substitution program, preparation of dose
administration aids, QCPP accreditation status, etc.)
2. Training Plan
It is a requirement of the Board that you formulate a Training
Plan that is overseen by the Guild ITP. Any form of Training Plan
can be used and examples have been supplied by the Board
as well as the Guild ITP. Copies of both are available on the
Guild ITP Online Forum. You and your preceptor should decide
during your initial induction to the workplace which Training
Plan you will use during their ITP.
Once you commence the ITP, you will identify specific
training needs that can be incorporated into the Training
Plan. However, in order to get started, there are some general
outcomes that all interns should aim to achieve.
A good Training Plan requires identification of the method by
which each skill will be acquired and measured, and the time
frame in which it will or has been achieved. Once the skill has
been acquired satisfactorily, a tick is placed in the relevant box.
The Training Plan is useful if multiple employers and preceptors
are involved in your training, as it provides a checklist for the
subsequent employer who then knows what has already been
covered and defines their responsibilities.
The Training Plan is a checklist for you, your preceptor and
employer to ensure relevant aspects of the practise of
pharmacy are dealt with during your intern year. It aims to
ensure that, wherever you spend your time, all legal and
professional issues are covered.
It is a requirement of the Guild ITP that you submit your
completed Training Plan with your portfolio at the
completion of the program. Both interns and preceptors MUST
provide a signature and date on the Training Plan.

Guild Intern Training Program Intern Manual
Intern Portfolio
3. Reflective Learning Experiences
Throughout your intern year, you must complete 20
Reflective Learning Experiences (RLEs) and each RLE should
have the relevant competency standards noted. RLEs are
valuable learning and teaching tools, providing you with the
opportunity to reflect on your actions and learning needs.
An RLE is a reactive process. It is documentation of a thought
process, which should occur automatically and frequently for
a registered pharmacist.
The thought process consists of:
a presenting situation
an action to deal with the situation
an outcome from the action
a self-assessment of the process, specifying what was learnt
for the experience and what learning needs were identified
which lead to the development of an improvement strategy;
and
the implementation of that strategy, providing examples of
future demonstrations of learning in practice (if applicable).
An RLE is simply this process documented and related to the
relevant competencies. You must complete and include a
matrix in your portfolio demonstrating you have covered all
of the relevant competency standards within the 20 RLEs. A
broad range of competencies should be demonstrated in your
RLEs and each RLE is likely to provide evidence of more than
one competency.
As a guide, a minimum of 10 RLEs should largely relate to
prescription medicines and 5 RLEs should largely relate to the
delivery of primary and preventive health care. A copy of the
matrix is available for download on the Guild ITP Online Forum
or USB. Both interns and preceptors MUST provide a signature
and date on the provided template.
4. Self-Learning Projects
You must complete a self-learning project on a topic of your
choice; self-learning projects should take between one and
three months to complete. The self-learning project is a
compulsory component of your portfolio. It is also an effective
tool for negotiating agreements in learning between you and
your preceptor.
Through this medium you can document and plan your
learning by formulating your own learning objectives and
identifying appropriate resources and strategies. In this way
you are engaging in an active learning process. Although
documenting in this way may seem simplistic, it will motivate
you to produce explicit evidence of your competence
development that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.
A self-learning project is the documentation of a learning
process and is a proactive activity. This learning process usually
occurs spontaneously in the workplace throughout the career
of a registered pharmacist. It can relate to very minor projects
right through to major retraining exercises.
To assist you in documenting your self-learning project, a
report submission form has been provided for you on the
Guild ITP Online Forum or USB. Reporting on the self-learning
project involves:
FREE Registration

How is a self-learning project developed?
You can develop your self-learning project in consultation with your preceptor by following a simple sequence of steps:
Step 1
Identify your learning needs
A learning need exists wherever there is a difference between
where you are now and where you wish to be in terms of
competence. It is recommended that no more than four
learning needs are identified otherwise the project will not be
achievable. Once you have identified a learning need or an
area of interest to form the topic of your project, you will be
ready to start planning.
Step 2
Determine learning objectives and goals
Once you have identified your project topic, the next step
is to determine what learning objectives or goals will help
you to complete your project. Using the reporting template,
specify each of your learning objectives or goals and provide
a clear description. You must specify at least three (3) learning
objectives or goals.
Step 3
Identify learning resources and strategies
Identify the resources (material and human) and the strategies
(techniques) and the way in which you plan to use them to
accomplish each objective.
Step 4 Produce evidence of accomplishment for
learning objectives and goals
Using the resources and strategies you have identified, compile
evidence of how you met your learning objectives or goals.
This may include, but is not limited to, copies of training
materials, evaluations, summary documents, brochures or
posters created, statistics or reports relating to the learning
objectives or goals. You should be able to produce evidence
of accomplishment for each of your identified learning
objectives or goals. Any evidence of accomplishment should
be submitted with the self-learning project form, under the
Appendices section.
Step 5
Preceptor comments or feedback and
project validation
To demonstrate you have attained your learning objectives and
prove that you have learnt it. Both interns and preceptors MUST
provide a signature and date on the provided template.
Example of a Self-learning project
Project Overview
What is your topic and why do you
want to learn about it?
Treatment options in diabetes as I feel this is an area I am not
so familiar with and there are many customers with diabetes
in my pharmacy.
Learning Objectives
and Goals
What specifically are you going
to learn?
Learn more about medications used for the treatment of
diabetes in community pharmacy.
Planning and Resources
How are you going to learn it?
Contact Diabetes Australia for resources, eTGs, eMIMS and
discuss with preceptor.
Evidence of Accomplishment
How will you verify that you
have learnt it?
Complete a 200 word summary on the latest medications
for diabetes (preceptor to assess summary and provide
feedback)
Provide a continuing education session for other staff
in the pharmacy
Complete an RLE on management of a customer
with diabetes

Tips for your Self-learning project
Identify an area of interest, a gap in your knowledge or a
challenging project to undertake as part of your project.
The self-learning project is a great opportunity to showcase
your skills and contribute your knowledge for the benefit
of your pharmacy. Think outside the box! Incorporating the

5. Health Promotion assignment
Competency standards: 6.3 (also 1.5, 2.6 and others depending on
the assignment)
The health promotion assignment is an opportunity to
demonstrate a wide range of competencies. Its primary
function is to produce evidence of Competency Standard 6.3:
Contribute to public and preventative health. This competency
is based around public health initiatives and taking pharmacy
beyond the workplace and into the community. For further
clarification, consult the elements and performance criteria for
Competency Standard 6.3.
You need to choose a health topic or select from any
upcoming health day, week or event and prepare a promotion
for or on behalf of your workplace. This may be a window or instore display, designed to generate interest and provide health
information for customers, or it may be more wide ranging
such as taking part in a collaborative effort like a health expo
or speaking to a community group. You should consider
producing some written material suitable for the general
public to take home or utilise some pre-prepared material as
part of a more in-depth presentation.
Key steps in planning your health promotion activity include:
Choose a health-related topic on which to base the health
promotion. Some examples include diabetes, asthma,
‘World no tobacco day’ or ‘incontinence’ (these are examples
only; any health related topic is appropriate). Hint: The
Department of Health and Ageing has released a calendar of
events that may assist you in choosing a topic for your
health promotion assignment, see www.health.gov.au
merchandising, stock control, etc.).
Access support material and personnel
For further ideas on topics, or how to achieve learning
objectives for your chosen areas, you can contact your Guild
ITP tutor for advice and guidance.
Prepare your own flyer, information sheet or poster
presentation
Advertise event
Set up display or give presentation, etc.
On completion, evaluate the health promotion activity,
including results of interest. 

7. Extemporaneous Product Preparation
8. First Aid Certificate
The Pharmacy Board requires that ITP providers verify interns’
completion of six extemporaneous compounding exercises
under preceptor supervision. The forms and guidelines for
the preparation of extemporaneous preparations are Board
specific standard report forms and are available on the
Guild ITP Online Forum or USB.
The Pharmacy Board requires that ITP providers verify interns’
completion of a current First Aid Certificate. You may conduct
your first aid training through any accredited training provider.
Some suggested providers include:
The Board requires that pharmacy interns extemporaneously
prepare six (6) products, which must include at least one
cream, at least one ointment and at least one other product
which may include:
Lotion
Parenteral infusion
Paint
Cytotoxic preparation or
Paste
An eye drop.
Mixture
Please note:
The six products must each have different formulas (and
must differ by more than simply the strength of the active
ingredient or ingredients).
Reconstitution of antibiotic mixtures for dispensing is not
considered an appropriate product to be included as part
of this assessment.
Sterile and cytotoxic medicines should be only be made up
if the premises meet the Australian Standard for clean rooms
and if the relevant standards for the safe handling of
cytotoxic drugs are followed.
Submission requirements
You are required to complete a report form for each of the six
(6) products extemporaneously prepared and submit this to
your preceptor. A statutory declaration must be completed by
your preceptor once the six products have been compounded.
This form plus the six (6) report forms must then be submitted
to the Guild ITP in your portfolio. If you or your preceptor
requires further clarification on this process, please contact the
Guild ITP or the Board. 
Hint: A staff meeting or training would be an ideal
opportunity for you to do your presentation; however,
you may also consider providing a consumer/patient
presentation as part of your health promotion assignment!
You could also consider developing
an S2/S3 Refresher training for pharmacy assistants; a
requirement of QCPP. QCPP refresher training sessions are
generally 30 minute blocks on an S2/S3 topic. Ask your Guild
ITP tutor for more information.

Assessments
Assessment process
1. Workplace visits
The intern assessment process is managed and supervised
by the Guild ITP in collaboration with preceptors. A variety
of assessment methods are used during the ITP to evaluate
your knowledge, mastery of essential practical skills, ability
to communicate, numeracy and the use of data in problem
solving. Workplace assessments monitor the progressive
acquisition of competence achieved whilst you are undertaking
supervised practice.
The Guild ITP tutors conduct at least one workplace visit with
each intern during the intern year. You should ensure you
are well prepared and have all documentation for review on
hand. The workplace visit will take one to one and a half hours
and you are encouraged to raise any concerns or requests for
guidance during this time.
Your progress will be assessed during the ITP through:
1.Workplace visits
2.Preceptor assessments
3.Written assignments
6.Final preceptor assessment and portfolio submission
The tutor will use the National Competency Standards Framework
for Pharmacists in Australia 2010 as a guide when assessing your
progress during the visit. A formal report will be prepared after
the visit, and copies of this will be provided to both you and
your preceptor.
7.Online modules, if required
Focus of the workplace visit
Each of these assessments is outlined below in more detail.
The intern and preceptor will be provided with copies of all
written assessments to ensure that any issues arising can be
incorporated into the training plan.

Assessments
2. Preceptor assessments
Preceptors are required to submit interim written assessments
at approximately 9 weeks and 18 weeks into your intern
year. These assessments are based on your achievements
against the intern training plan and are assessed against
the competencies. They provide an opportunity for formal
feedback sessions with your preceptor.
For the final assessment your preceptor will use a preceptor
assessment form based on the National Competency Standards
Framework for Pharmacists in Australia 2010 as a checklist.
Both the preceptor’s assessment document and the National
Competency Standards Framework for Pharmacists in Australia
2010 can be found on the Guild ITP Online Forum.
The assessment documentation resulting from these sessions
need to be emailed, faxed or posted to the Guild ITP by the
relevant due dates. Please see the Guild ITP timeline for the due
dates of these assessments. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact your ITP Tutor. 
Please note: The 9 and 18 week preceptor assessments
are completed on the same form. This is a working document
– you can fax this in on completion by your preceptor.
3. Written assignments
You are required to complete two (2) written assignments
during the intern year. All assignments will be distributed
through the Guild ITP Online Forum and you will have two (2)
months to complete each assignment. 
4. Compulsory Workshop Attendance and Participation
You are required to attend at least two (2) face-to-face
workshops throughout the ITP. This is an excellent opportunity
for interns to network with colleagues, receive further support
from their ITP tutors and listen to industry specialists present
interactive sessions. Interns will work in small groups with
ITP tutors and participate in interactive case discussions and
exercises. Some of the topics and exercises covered during
the workshops will assist with your preparation for the Board
oral exam. Attendance at workshops is compulsory. The
workshop dates are included on the ITP timeline.
If you are unable to attend a workshop, additional work as
determined by your ITP tutor is required as evidence that
you have met the requirements of the ITP. This work will be
sent to you as appropriate by the tutor and the completed
assessment must be submitted with the portfolio. For those in
regional locations who may experience difficulty in attending
centralised workshops, please contact your ITP tutor to discuss
the options available to you. 
Please note: It is an APC requirement that ALL interns attend a
minimum of 25 hours interactive face-to-face small group sessions
during their ITP. Small groups of interns are required to be physically
within each other’s presence (i.e. not via electronic means); this is
mandatory regardless of the ITP provider. For this reason, the Guild
ITP workshops are structured to allow plenty of opportunities
during the workshops for interns to interact with each other
through small group activities.
5. Discussion Group Attendance and Participation
These sessions explore a variety of practice issues and allow
you to discuss case studies with clinical tutors and industry
pharmacists. Some of the topics and exercises covered during
the discussion groups will assist with your preparation for the
Board oral exam. In some states these are delivered as webinars
or teleconferences, offering the convenience of joining in from
home or work. Attendance at discussion groups
is compulsory.
If you are unable to attend a discussion group additional work
as determined by your ITP tutor is required as evidence that
you have met the requirements of the ITP. This work will be
sent to you by your tutor and the completed assessment
needs to be submitted with your portfolio. 
6. Portfolio submission
Your portfolio should contain a diverse collection of material
that demonstrates your journey of professional development
throughout the ITP. Each component of the portfolio is covered
in more detail on pages 10 – 16 of this manual. Copies of each
should be included in your final portfolio submission to the
Guild ITP, along with your final preceptor assessment. Please
ensure both interns and preceptors have signed and dated all
templates which require this prior to submission. 
7. Online modules, if required
In some states, interns are required to complete state-specific
Community Opioid Replacement Program and Needle and Syringe
Exchange Program courses. This training is mandatory to
enable registered pharmacists to provide these services within
community pharmacies in particular states (i.e. TAS, WA, etc.).
A copy of your completion certificate or your CPD Record
Summary should be generated on myCPD (showing successful
completion of these modules) and included with your final
portfolio submission. If you or your preceptor requires further
clarification on this requirement, please contact your Guild
ITP tutor. 

Assessments
Moderation of Assessments
The process of moderating assessments used by the Guild ITP ensures consistency
of marking across all the states. The Guild ITP Moderation Committee will ensure
that an intern participating in the Guild ITP in one state will have the same
assessment of their progress and knowledge as an intern enrolled in the
Guild ITP in any other state.
This is a quality assurance process which ensures all systems are robust
and of a consistently high standard.
A percentage of assignments submitted by interns will be de-identified and sent
to ITP tutors in other states for assessment. These will then be checked to ensure
consistency of marking. 

Learning during the Intern year
Workplace Learning
Employing Problem Based Learning
The intern year is designed to expand on the style of
learning you were accustomed to during your years as an
undergraduate student. One of the most important aspects
of learning during this year is the integration of theory with
practice: using knowledge and ideas to manage real life
situations.
Analysing professional development through documentation
with self-learning projects and RLE forms provides the ideal
mechanism for launching problem-based learning. Once an
RLE form is completed you should have a clear idea of the
problems that you could learn from. By following a structured
sequence you can structure your learning in a way that
addresses the problem from different perspectives. The advantage of participating in your internship placement
is that your learning will be occurring in the workplace.
Approaching learning in this way therefore meets the
challenge of linking theory with contextual practice. You will
have the opportunity to explore real situations and to gradually
apply theoretical understanding in a controlled setting, with
direct supervision. Your learning will be motivated through
your engagement with professional practice and be based
around problem framing and problem solving.
Example:
A man comes into the pharmacy requesting a cream
for his psoriasis. On questioning his symptoms do not
resemble psoriasis. No plaques, just red, angry
and itchy in groin area. He had been overseas recently
in humid conditions.
1. Consider your level of knowledge
Problem Based Learning
Problem Based Learning (PBL) is an ideal approach to learning
in the professional setting. Because you are in the active
professional role, your learning will be generated from a
problem solving perspective. This approach will allow you to
simultaneously develop problem solving strategies, clinical and
professional knowledge and relevant professional skills.
Learning that is structured in this way deals with problems that:
are messy and complex in nature
equire inquiry, information-gathering and reflection
are changing and tentative
have no simple ‘right’ answer.
PBL is most effective if it is approached as a cooperative
process between you and your preceptor. For this approach
to learning to be successful, it is essential that it begins with
a situation from your professional experience. Once you have
identified a problem, your learning should centre on this issue.
It is your responsibility to actively define problems that
you encounter and construct potential solutions. It is your
preceptor’s responsibility to model and support your learning
process. In assuming the role of a ‘coach’, your preceptor will
be able to guide you rather than teach or directly impart their
knowledge to you.
Learning in this way is effective because the complex nature
of real problems calls forth critical and creative thinking. PBL
promotes self-regulated learning because you will generate
your own strategies for problem definition, information
gathering, analysis, and providing and testing answers.
You are fairly confident that the man’s symptoms are related
to lifestyle but your knowledge base does not allow you
to formulate sound clinical decisions. Your knowledge of
medication warns you that use of immunosuppressants
can lead to skin diseases as can certain underlying
disease states.
2. Identify your learning needs
Now that you have identified where the gaps in your
knowledge exist you can identify the specific learning
needs and issues that need to be addressed. You can do
this simply by posing yourself some questions such as,
‘what other treatments are available for fungal infections?’,
‘Which underlying conditions predispose to fungal
infections?’ and ‘How do commonly used
immunosuppressants contribute to skin infections?’
3. Identify the processes you will use for the PBL
To answer the questions, you should use your reasoning
skills and relate the questions to new and previous
knowledge. To do this you should incorporate literature,
product information and colleague expertise into the
problem solving process. Rather than focusing on
identifying a particular solution to the problem, you should
explore a variety of ‘what ifs’.
4. Evaluate the PBL process
Evaluation should be a process that continually informs
your learning. Once you have completed a learning task
you should return to the PBL process and re-examine the
problem from a different perspective. As you develop
professionally you will be prepared to make changes to
your knowledge, skills and attitude based on experience.
