The greater demand for
quality pharmacy services by the public, the need to conform to
international practice standards as well as the emergence of complex
drug delivery systems and therapy regimens are but some of the
considerations that propelled the College to adopt a socially
responsive, standard-driven graduate program for pharmacy
practitioners.
The curricular changes
in the graduate offering, Master of Science in Pharmacy with three
majors (Pharmaceutical
Chemistry,
Industrial Pharmacy, and
Hospital Pharmacy),
address the current competencies required of pharmacists in
the areas of industrial, institutional and research-oriented
practice.
In general, the MS
Pharmacy program aims to produce graduates who can:
1.
effectively manage a pharmaceutical organization
2.
be
knowledgeable in establishing regulatory affairs compliance of
pharmaceutical products and
institutions
3.
demonstrate skills in the conduct of relevant research , whether basic
or applied
4.
demonstrate teaching abilities and skills in pharmacy
5.
proactively participate in resolving issues as well as in
formulating policies affecting the practice
and the society.
