Pharmacy
Since its establishment in 2001, the Faculty of Pharmacy has strived to prove itself as an outstanding educational institution which later reflected on the growing number of its student body.
Curricular Philosophy
In alignment with the faculty’s mission, the Pharm D -Clinical Pharmacy is designed to graduate competent pharmacy professionals who contribute to the health and well-being of the public locally, regionally, and globally. It is designed to provide a clinically oriented professional curriculum that graduates practice-ready pharmacy professionals capable of providing contemporary, concordant patient-centred care in different healthcare settings.
This program starts with a strong foundational knowledge in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, and social sciences and moves on to evidenced-based clinical sciences.
A set of dynamic pedagogical approaches and assessment strategies are combined to link between scientific concepts and case-based clinical applications with an emphasis on the Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process. Student engagement is enhanced via the integration of active learning components into the traditional lecture-based course delivery method, along with a robust use of technological applications, up-to-date laboratories as well as co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities.
The cultivated professional competencies and problem-solving skills are validated through simulated and actual clinical pharmacy practice experiences for development of leadership, professional attitudes, social accountability, and the culture of lifelong learning.
