Who it is for
Pharmacy graduates (PharmD) preparing for the NABP NAPLEX licensure exam, including those retaking it.
What you will learn
- By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
- Explain the NAPLEX practice framework and organize study around pharmacist-scope tasks commonly tested for entry-level licensure, including medication-use assessment, safety review, calculations, dispensing, compounding, counseling, monitoring, and escalation.
- Master high-yield pharmacotherapy, medication safety, calculations, pharmacokinetics, dispensing, compounding, and patient counseling concepts relevant to entry-level pharmacist practice.
- Apply concepts in realistic NAPLEX-style scenarios by selecting the best next pharmacist action within scope: identify the task → extract key facts → select the governing rule → execute → verify.
- Solve patient-specific calculation and dosing tasks accurately, including units and conversions, concentrations and dilutions, days' supply, infusion rates, renal dosing, pharmacokinetic monitoring, and compounding math; show steps clearly and avoid shortcuts that hide reasoning.
- Interpret prescriptions, medication orders, laboratory values, vital signs, organ function, interactions, contraindications, formulation issues, and adherence barriers to identify medication-related problems involving indication, effectiveness, safety, and adherence.
- Distinguish common distractors and boundary cases, especially unsafe dispensing, duplicate therapy, renal-adjustment errors, formulation mix-ups, pharmacist-scope violations, and urgent referral triggers.
- Build retrieval-ready memory using concise drug-class comparisons, monitoring tables, counseling checklists, verification workflows, and spaced review summaries.
