Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to train pharmacists who can identify and solve drug-related problems, who are competent in interpreting laboratory data and in the management of acute and chronic conditions commonly encountered during pharmacy practice.
Course Content: In this course, students will learn and conduct the basic principles of patient-centered pharmacy services such as clinical pharmacy, pharmaceutical care and comprehensive drug management. Alongside these key concepts, students will learn about the clinical pharmacist's approach to the interpretation of laboratory data and the principles of antimicrobial therapy, as well as management strategies for common acute and chronic conditions such as pain, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, ischemic heart disease, urinary tract infections, asthma and COPD.
In the application part, the student will apply all these principles to virtual cases and produce solutions to patient problems.
