8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Prescription Interpretation and Dispensing Procedure & Pharmacy Law, Regulation, and Professional Ethics

Map every field of a Mongolian prescription (patient data, drug name, strength, dosage form, quantity, directions, prescriber signature and stamp, date) and label each field's legal requirement
Trace the full dispensing workflow from receipt to handover for a written and an electronic prescription, and list the checkpoints where errors are caught
Identify the legal schedule or restriction category that applies to at least 20 commonly dispensed medicines and state the record-keeping duty for each category
Draft a personal one-page checklist for validating a prescription before preparation

A completed prescription-review checklist plus a 20-drug table mapping each drug to its legal category and required record

Week 2

Interpret 15 sample prescriptions containing ambiguous or incomplete directions and write the clarification question you would ask the prescriber
Convert sig codes and Latin abbreviations into plain-language patient instructions in Mongolian and English
Role-play a 3-minute counseling session for a new prescription covering dose, timing, missed dose, and key warning signs, and record it
Explain the difference between generic substitution and therapeutic interchange and when each requires prescriber contact

A log of 15 interpreted prescriptions with corrected directions and written clarification questions, plus one recorded counseling session

Week 3

Solve ratio, proportion, and dimensional-analysis problems for solid and liquid dosage forms without a calculator, then verify with one
Calculate pediatric doses by body weight and by body surface area, and state the maximum adult dose check for each result
Perform dilution, concentration, and percentage-strength conversions including alligation for two-component mixtures
Calculate infusion rates in mL/h and drops/min and convert between units such as mg, mcg, g, and IU

A timed 30-question calculation set scored at 90% or higher with every error reworked and annotated

Week 4

Build a drug-class summary for cardiovascular, antidiabetic, and anti-infective agents covering mechanism, key adverse effects, and monitoring parameters
Match first-line therapy to at least 10 common conditions seen in Mongolian community pharmacy practice
Summarize the legal duties around controlled substances, prescription retention periods, and dispensing without a valid prescription

Week 5

Classify storage requirements (controlled room temperature, refrigeration, protection from light and moisture) and identify 10 products that need cold chain
Describe the steps to take when a temperature excursion is detected, including quarantine, assessment, and documentation
Define the main pharmacovigilance terms (adverse event, serious adverse event, signal, causality) and outline the reporting pathway and timelines
Analyze 5 adverse-event scenarios and decide whether each is reportable and what follow-up is required

A storage and cold-chain quick-reference card plus 5 completed adverse-event assessment forms with report/no-report decisions

Week 6

Classify dosage forms by route and describe the handling and administration precautions for each, including modified-release and sterile products
Decode drug names into their stems and class (for example -olol, -pril, -statin) and use the stem to predict the class of 15 unfamiliar names
List the principles of aseptic technique and identify the contamination risks in a described preparation scenario
Outline hand hygiene, cleanroom behavior, and sharps handling according to standard infection-control practice

An 8-product herbal counseling sheet with interaction warnings plus 3 written responses to difficult communication scenarios

Week 8

Complete a full-length timed mock exam under exam conditions and record the score by domain
Rework every missed question and tag each error to a domain and a root cause (knowledge gap, misread, calculation slip)
Re-drill the two weakest domains with targeted practice until each reaches 80% or better
Recite the top 20 high-yield facts (legal timelines, dose limits, storage ranges, reporting rules) from memory

A mock-exam score report by domain with an error-analysis log and documented re-test scores for the two weakest domains
