This course is designed to provide PharmD students with a basic knowledge of comprehensive pharmaceutical services provided by the clinical pharmacy department and staff in hospitals. Students will learn various aspects of clinical pharmacy services including technical or functional, professional and administrative services and how to apply them in daily practices. Consistent with the objectives, students demonstrate achievement through, demonstrated understanding of the pharmacy professions, developed knowledge and skills of administration, organization, financing and delivery of health care in general and pharmacy in particular and the ability to develop and manage a clinical pharmacy department. All the latter will be supported with regulations, ethics, and laws that govern different pharmacy practices in the hospital and the pharmacists role in different national sectors and community sectors. Students will be supported and prepared with an introduction to professional ethics and accountability for practicing pharmacists. The course provides grounding in moral philosophy and its application to key concepts such as patients rights, consent, confidentiality and the care of vulnerable patients in pharmacy practice.
