Introduction to the program


The genesis of the program:
Ministerial Resolution No. (2289) was issued on September 8, 2006 amending Article No. (2) of the internal regulations of the College of Pharmacy and approving the college to grant a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Clinical Pharmacy) on a credit hour system.

Introduction to the clinical pharmacy program:
Clinical pharmacy is an advanced field of pharmaceutical practice with a clinical medical orientation. The need has emerged in all countries of the world to ensure that there is in the health care team a “pharmaceutical specialist” who has sufficient knowledge and knowledge of all information related to medications in light of the various reasons for their use.
The clinical pharmacist participates with the health care team, including doctors and auxiliary bodies, in ensuring the optimal selection of the drug, ensuring its proper use, tracking its therapeutic effect, solving drug problems that may occur during use, and providing the necessary drug advice to the health care team, the patient, and all components of society.

Objective of the clinical pharmacy program:
First: Increasing competitiveness in the labor market:
Strengthening the capabilities of graduates who hold a Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Sciences (Clinical Pharmacy) and preparing them to compete in the national, regional and global market.
Increasing the capabilities and skills of those holding this qualification to meet the increasing demand for these competencies in the labor market.

Second: Developing university education at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Beni Suef University:
The program is actually the real beginning of developing the educational process in line with the latest international systems in the field of university education.

Program definition:
It is a flexible study program that suits the personal inclinations of each student, and through it a pharmacist is graduated who is familiar with all the requirements of the pharmacy profession. The clinical pharmacy program is distinguished from the (general) pharmaceutical sciences program in that it focuses on the role of the pharmacist in providing appropriate pharmaceutical care to the patient inside and outside hospitals. Through the study, we learn how to follow the appropriate drug regimens for patients, study the principles of clinical pharmacokinetics, and study the creation of different therapeutic systems in cooperation with the treating physician.
