These visits provided students with a valuable opportunity to explore diverse healthcare systems and gain insight into the latest practices in advanced pharmaceutical services.
The visits were designed to achieve several educational and practical objectives, most notably enabling students to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired through their coursework in real-world settings. They also aimed to link academic curricula with modern medication management practices, in addition to introducing students to digital transformation mechanisms within clinical pharmacy settings in hospitals. Furthermore, the visits highlighted the critical role of pharmacists in intensive care units, the processes involved in the preparation and handling of medications in oncology centers, and various specialized fields within clinical pharmacy.
