PHARMACY PRACTICE

DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACY PRACTICE

Pharmacy Practice is a core subject in the pharmacy curriculum that focuses on the professional roles and responsibilities of a pharmacist in healthcare settings. It involves the application of pharmaceutical knowledge in real-world scenarios to ensure safe, effective, and rational use of medicines. Students studying pharmacy practice learn about hospital and community pharmacy operations, prescription handling, drug dispensing, patient counseling, medication adherence, and pharmacovigilance. The subject also emphasizes ethics in pharmacy, communication skills, drug information services, and the pharmacist’s role in clinical decision-making and public health. Through both theoretical learning and practical exposure, students are prepared to provide patient-centered care and actively contribute to improving therapeutic outcomes in hospitals, clinics, and community settings.
