Clinical pharmacy applies scientific and clinical principles in treating patients, integrating pharmacology, toxicology, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacotherapy. It builds on the bachelor's studies in pharmacy, providing specialized pharmaceutical knowledge and preparing graduates for consulting, control, and research roles in hospitals and communities. The program emphasizes theoretical and practical studies, consultation in drug therapy, and research, preparing clinical pharmacists for diverse roles in patient care.

Pharm.D – Doctor in Clinical Pharmacy

Course Breakdown

The program spans six semesters, with initial instruction at the patient's bedside and rotations in hospital departments led by clinical pharmacists or doctors. The first two years include a wide range of courses covering basic clinical pharmacy skills, advanced drug toxicology, clinical teratology, and more. The third year focuses on pharmaceutical therapy specialization. Students also conduct master' s-level research during their studies.

 

Admission Requirements

The program relies on the professional training provided as part of the bachelor's studies in pharmacy (a total of four years, three and a half years plus an internship of about six months), which provides basic studies in the natural sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, and biomedicine, and is therefore limited to those with a bachelor's degree in pharmacy. The admission threshold is 85 in the grade of the bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical sciences, as well as in an admission interview. A prerequisite for admission is a license to practice pharmacy in Israel.
