Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences facilities
Model pharmacy dispensary
As a Curtin pharmacy student you will gain a competitive edge using a state-of-the-art robotic dispensing unit, the only one of its kind being used for training purposes in Western Australia. The robot can improve the speed and risk management procedures of dispensing medications. The system also provides greater stock management efficiencies, giving you relevant industry training and practical experience using advanced technology. You will train in a multi-million dollar model pharmacy dispensary, which can simulate a range of real-life settings such as a community pharmacy. You will be provided with your own workstation, computer and label generator, and dispense real medicines using simulations of real prescriptions.
