UQ Pharmacy Intern Training Program

UQ’s Pharmacy Intern Training Program (ITP) provides intern pharmacists with specialised training and skills in pharmacy practice.

Our unique program combines academic excellence with pharmacy practice to provide intern pharmacists the opportunity to build on their ITP year and obtain formal postgraduate qualifications, with the Graduate Certificate in Pharmacy Practice (GCPharmPrac).

This program is offered in conjunction with the National Alliance of Pharmacy Education (NAPE).
