The Practical’s cover Clinical Pharmacy Practice, Pharmacotherapeutics-I, Hospital & Community Pharmacy, and Clinical Research, offering hands-on experience for the students. Students apply theoretical knowledge to patient care through analysing the Drug chart, conducting Patient medication interview and interpreting lab results towards patient safety. This involve study of patient cases, selecting tailored drug therapies, and managing various disease states and track and analyse the patient’s progress over time, including treatment efficacy, any issues encountered, and changes in health status.

Students can exhibit diverse healthcare roles, focusing on functioning of hospital Pharmacy, patient counselling and medication safety as per NABH norms. Students also trained to conduct the research process as per GCP standards, identification of CFR (Code of federation of regulations) forms, preparation of SOPs for conducting clinical studies and evaluate the design and implementation of clinical study protocols to ensure they meet ethical and scientific standards. Students gain expertise in study design, data collection and contributing to evidence-based decision-making in pharmaceutical practice. Overall, these practical’s enhance students’ abilities to optimize drug therapy, counsel patients, and collaborate effectively within healthcare settings.

Upon successful completion of this course, students shall be able to;
