InternLab

InternLab is Platform Alliance Group’s intern support program created by experienced pharmacists.

Program Information for Interns 2024

"Creating Pharmacists of the Future"

We are committed to creating healthier communities. Our future pharmacists are central to making this happen. 

A word from our InternLab coordinators

“InternLab is a fantastic opportunity to start your pharmacy profession with a bang. With the support of our experienced pharmacist team, we can help build your confidence with both clinical knowledge and how you work with your patients and team within the pharmacy. You can lean on our resources and our support to help make your internship a highlight of your career."

InternLab Support Program is designed for those interns who will be sitting their oral examinations in October 2024. For June oral examinations, InternLab is offering one on one mock exams with our pharmacist examiners. For more information, contact: professionalservices@thepagroup.com.au.

InternLab Support Program (InternLab) has been developed and led by industry experienced IPA pharmacists. We are shaping the future of pharmacy by empowering interns to bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions back to their pharmacies, fostering a dynamic community passionate about revolutionising patient care. 

While supporting interns to ace their important registration exams, the program is designed to build on individuals’ strengths, skills and personality, enabling interns to grow personally and professionally.  Our hope is by the end of the year, interns will have acquired practical skills essential for becoming versatile pharmacists capable of confidently managing a pharmacy.  

This is a unique program which provides a more personalised and practical approach to learning. It has been specifically designed for both interns and preceptors as they embark on their journey together. Guidance will also be provided to preceptors and we encourage them to be actively involved in the overall mentoring and coaching of their intern.

When does InternLab 2024 start? 

The program will commence from March 2024. But be sure to enrol fast as places are limited! 

 

How many places are available in your program? 

Our program is unique and offers a much more personalised approach compared to others on the market. Places are limited! 

 

Do I still need to enrol in another intern program if I enrol here? 

Yes. This is not a substitute for any of the accredited intern training programs. This program is designed to provide you with support for your exams, in particular the oral exams and provide you with practical information and guidance in your first year as a pharmacist.  

 

For information regarding mandatory accredited intern programs visit the AHPRA website: https://www.pharmacyboard.gov.au/registration/internships.aspx#training  

or Pharmacy Council website: 

 

How much will the program cost? 

The cost of our 12-month program is $495 + GST for all Platform Alliance Group member pharmacies and $795 + GST for all other pharmacies.  

 

Will I need to take days off during my intern year to attend the workshops or monthly sessions? 

Workshops and monthly sessions will be held Mondays to Fridays between 9am to 5pm. We are mindful of the time you spend away from the pharmacy and will provide notice in advance. Monthly sessions will go for approximately two hours, so interns will not need to take an entire day off from work. 

 

What if I would like additional support? 

Please email professional.services@thepagroup.com.au and we will find a way to best accommodate your request.
