Given the characteristics and specificities of each pharmaceutical facility, only the Technical Director, or another Pharmacist delegated for the task, should be responsible for the teaching methods and trainee learning. The role of the Training Advisor is of the utmost importance, and includes monitoring within the training unit and also in the training activities that the student has to develop, being therefore responsible for the vocational training of the student. The Training Advisor should base its activities in the Internship Manual made available by FFUP, thus ensuring equity in the training for all students.
The selection of locals for training is a responsibility of the FFUP, with the cooperation of the Pharmacist Order when necessary, and thruogg the stablishment of individual protocols.
The Student “Tutor” at FFUP (professor) accompanies the students in the choice, design, development and writing of the work-connected pharmaceutical practice works, adapted to the local where they are receiving training, which is part of the final report. In addition, the “Tutors” are also the liaison between trainees and the trainning pharmacies, being responsible for maintaining the coordination and support to the trainee in the professional environment.
In October-november, the students will have several seminars dedicated to their preparation for the internship period. Students may further complement their training during the internship in accordance with their specific interests through training sessions or information to be provided by the Teachers of the curricular unit, the Pharmacists Order and / or institutions endorsed.
