| Pharmacology I | Third Year | Pharmacology I covers introduction to pharmacology; principle of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics; types of drug-receptor interactions; drug affecting the autonomic nervous system; and drug affecting the central nervous system. |
| Pharmacology II | Third Year | Pharmacology II covers drugs affecting central Nervous system and psychiatric diseases. Also, It provides drugs that are used for infectious disease such as bacterial, fungal, protozoal and viral infections |
| Pharmacology III | Fourth Year | Pharmacology III covers drugs used to treat GIT, urologic, hematologic and endocrine disorders |
| Therapeutics I | Fourth Year | This course involves description of the most important and prevalent oncologic diseases and renal disorders; their etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, stages and classification, lab screening and diagnostic procedures. In addition, the course involves therapeutic management of these diseases that includes designing most effective and safe therapeutic regimens with proper medication in the right dose, route and frequency, all according to current best evidence (evidence-based medicine), in addition to non-pharmacological interventions, life-style modifications, and patient education. Monitoring for effectiveness and adverse effects is also included. There is emphasis in the course on teaching the student how to use useful databases, formal webpages, and mobile applications and how to self-learn post-graduation. |
| Therapeutics II | First Year | This course involves description of the most important and prevalent gynecologic and obstetric disorders in addition to the most common diseases in pediatrics and geriatrics. The etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, stages and classification, lab screening and diagnostic procedures are included. In addition, the course involves therapeutic management of these diseases that includes designing most effective and safe therapeutic regimens with proper medication in the right dose, route and frequency, all according to current best evidence (evidence-based medicine), in addition to non-pharmacological interventions, life-style modifications, and patient education.

| Clinical Cases | Fourth Year | The course is designed to provide the student with an introduction to integrative therapeutic modalities which are used in health care. Clinical cases from different medical branches each session will be used to develop the students ability to assess a patient’s condition, determine reasonable treatment alternatives, select appropriate therapy (pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy), monitoring parameters and to justify those choices by utilizing knowledge and skills acquired in clinical pharmacy and therapeutics I. |
| Pharmaceutics | Third Year | This course covers the sciences of pharmaceutics and the basic terminology, concepts, references, and principles students will need in this course. <br>The rest of the course focuses on the liquid dosage forms including solutions and disperse systems (suspension and emulsions) in addition to pharmaceutical aerosols and inhalations. In this part, the student are exposed to the principles of designing these dosage forms, the used pharmaceutical excipients, preparation, QC and the applications of these dosage forms in drug delivery <br> |
| Pharmaceutical Technology | Third Year | This course provides students with the scientific and industrial aspects of the design, formulation and manufacture of dosage forms with focus on powder technology (size reduction, granulation, drying and characterization) and tableting. Common excipients, formulation, process, equipment and common manufacturing problems/troubleshooting techniques will be discussed for each process. |
