This major studies the research and development, preparation, production, sale and use of drugs.
1. Basic theory
The study of pharmacy specialty first involves the basic theory of pharmacy, including medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. Students will understand the chemical composition, pharmacological mechanism, absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs in human body.
2. Pharmaceutical preparations
Pharmaceutical preparations refer to drugs that are made of active drugs and suitable for use, including tablets, capsules, injections, topical drugs, etc. Students will learn the principles, technical methods, design and selection of drug formulations. They will master the skills of drug preparation and the requirements of quality control.
3. Clinical Pharmacy
Clinical pharmacy is one of the important fields of pharmacy, involving the rational use of drugs and the formulation of clinical drug treatment plans. Students will study drug therapy, including disease diagnosis, drug dosage calculation, drug interaction, prevention and treatment of adverse reactions, etc. They will improve their clinical pharmacy skills through internships or practical activities.
4. Drug management and research and development
Drug management and research and development is an important part of pharmacy, including drug production management, drug quality control, pharmaceutical affairs management and drug research and development. Students will learn the process of drug development and registration, understand the norms and requirements of drug production, and master the techniques and methods of drug quality control.
Expand knowledge:
Modern Pharmacy: With the continuous development of science and technology, many new research directions and technical means have emerged in the field of modern pharmacy, such as pharmacogenomics, pharmacoprotein omics, drug molecular simulation, etc. These emerging fields provide a broader development space and opportunities for pharmaceutical students.
Pharmacy employment direction: Pharmacy graduates can be employed in pharmaceutical enterprises, pharmacies, pharmaceutical administration departments, pharmaceutical research institutes, medical institutions and other fields. They can engage in drug research and development, drug analysis, drug supervision, clinical pharmacists, drug education and scientific research.
To sum up, university pharmacy majors mainly study basic theories and practical skills related to drugs, including medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical preparations, pharmacology, clinical pharmacy and other knowledge. This major cultivates students' medical scientific literacy and practical ability, and lays a foundation for their career development in the field of pharmacy.
