Summary

This article contains information on how to complete an Endorsed Post Graduate Qualification LX.

What is the Post Graduate Qualification LX?

The Post Graduate Qualification Learning Experience (LX) is an Endorsed Learning Experience that can be used to document completion of a post graduate qualification and guide self-reflection on the impact of this learning on their current and/or future practice.

It is a Workplace Based Assessment (WBA) tool that can be used for inclusion towards advancing practice recognition.

Examples

  • Master of Clinical Pharmacy

  • Graduate Certificate in Diabetes Education and Management to become a Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE)

  • PhD

Post Graduate Qualification LX Process 

 

Prepare

Engage

Reflect

 

  1. Pharmacist completed post graduate qualification

  1. Pharmacist engages in self-reflection to record the impact of course on current and/or future pharmacy practice. 

  2. Attach certificate of completion (optional)

 

An endorsed Post Graduate Qualification LX is best completed as a retrospective reflection. 

Practice Recognition Level 

A post graduate qualification LX applies to all three levels of ANZCAP recognition (resident, register, consultant). 

The Post Graduate Qualification Learning Experience is mapped to:

  • Domain 5 of the National Competency Standards Framework for Pharmacists in Australia 2016. Please note that not all the domain 5 indicators listed in this document may be relevant to this Learning Experience.  

  • Domain 1, 2 and 7 of the Competence Standards for Pharmacists in Aotearoa New Zealand Pharmacists, 2023. Please note that not all the Domain 1, 2 and 7 behaviours listed in these competence standards may be relevant to this Learning Experience.

Collaborator

Pharmacists may have engaged in discussion with professional peers, mentors or managers to encourage reflective practice. However, this is an Endorsed Learning Experience and therefore the final submission should be completed by the pharmacist without collaboration. 

Expiry

Unlike other learning experiences, completion of a post graduate degree learning experience does not have an expiry date. And can be used in towards ANZCAP recognition at any time after completion.  

Forms and Templates

Evidence of the completion of the post graduate qualification is documented directly into the ANZCAP digital platform as an Endorsed Learning Experience (LX). For further step by step instructions on how to do this please refer to the How to complete a Learning Experience article.
