Pharmacognosy: Study of natural sources of drugs, including plants, animals, and minerals, and their medicinal properties.
Medicinal Chemistry: Chemical aspects of drug design, development, and synthesis.
Clinical Pharmacy: Application of pharmacy principles in clinical settings to optimize patient care and medication therapy management.
Pharmaceutical Analysis: Techniques and methods for analyzing the purity, quality, and concentration of pharmaceutical substances.
Biochemistry: Study of the chemical processes within living organisms that relate to drug action and metabolism.
Microbiology: Understanding of microorganisms and their role in health, disease, and the development of antibiotics and vaccines.
Pathophysiology: Study of the functional changes in the body caused by disease or injury, and how drugs can modify these changes.
Practical Skills:
Laboratory Techniques: Hands-on experience in pharmaceutical labs, including compounding, quality control, and analytical methods.
Dispensing Practice: Training in accurately preparing, labeling, and dispensing medications to patients.
