Department of Pharmacy Practice

Department of Pharmacy
Practice
The Department of Pharmacy Practice was
established to produce graduates in the areas of
pharmaceutical care, clinical sciences,
pharmacoeconomics and outcomes research, and
laboratory based/translational research particularly in
the areas of kinetics/dynamics, genomics experimental
research, health education, and hospital pharmacy
administration. Each faculty member is dedicated to
the growth of the profession of pharmacy and the
cultivation of the graduate students within their areas
of practice and specialization. The programs provide
training in delivery of health care to patients with
emphasizing on research related to pharmaceutical
issues and pharmacy practice.

Chulalongkorn University
The Department of Pharmacy Practice oers
graduate programs leading to both M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees and the Board Certified Pharmacotherapy
Training Program to develop competent clinical
pharmacists who are drug experts and possess the
ability to generate and disseminate knowledge base in
pharmacotherapy to optimize holistic health care and
ultimately improve the quality of care to the patients.
We are proud of our alumni pharmacists and the
impact they have made to the pharmacy profession.
We work collaboratively with several world-leading
healthcare institutions around the country and around
the world to strengthen our teaching and research
programs such as:

Cardiovascular diseases
Endocrinology
Patient care and safety
