Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The objective of the course is to create awareness, and
discipline about the laboratory studies that the student will do during the pharmacy education.
Course Content: In this course, support is provided for compliance with the working discipline and rules required in laboratory studies throughout the pharmacy education period. Secure working principles in the laboratory are demonstrated. How to act in case of possible malfunctions and accidents and how to give first aid when needed is done practically. The main points to be considered in working with chemicals, waste accumulation and recycling are mentioned. Major equipment and materials to be used in laboratories are introduced. Measurement and measurement units, the use of related formulas are analyzed and solution preparation is done practically. Preliminary knowledge is provided at the point of accessing and examining drug analysis resources.
