PharmD

Curricular Philosophy

The Pharm D program is designed in alignment with the faculty’s mission to graduate competent pharmacy professionals who contribute to the health and well-being of the public locally, regionally, and globally. It provides a strong, dynamic, multidisciplinary professional curriculum integrating knowledge across the basic, biomedical, pharmaceutical, social, behavioural, administrative, and clinical sciences with pharmacy practice experiences.

The Faculty of Pharmacy expedites students’ academic development through a variety of learning and assessment strategies, including an essential experiential component. It also employs a diversity of teaching methodologies that combine active learning strategies with traditional approaches, complemented by advanced teaching technologies and up-to-date laboratories. To further enhance students’ problem-solving skills and motivate them to become lifelong learners, the experiential learning model is adopted to equip them with the required competencies and professional attitudes to effectively practice pharmacy and become socially accountable leaders in diverse fields of the pharmaceutical industry and other healthcare settings.
