The
department is concerned with teaching of curricula including medical
terminology, pharmacology, clinical pharmacology, toxicology and
clinical toxicology as well as supervising other related curricula
such as anatomy and histology, physiology, computer studies and
biostatistics and zoology.
The
department ensures that the study of these courses is well
established for undergraduate students; thus the study of a course
in physiology provides ample scientific background upon which
further knowledge is based in the following courses. This course
helps in comprehension of the functional abnormalities leading to
disease conditions and thus the therapeutic effects of drugs can be
understood together with it’s doses, side effects and interactions
with other drugs in a following course such as pharmacology.
Clinical pharmacology
is another course that is concerned with drug therapeutic
applications and trains students in choosing the optimum therapeutic
option.
Toxicology is concerned
with drug harmful effects, how toxicity by these drugs occurs and
prophylactic measures while clinical toxicology studies toxicity
cases and how to treat them.
A number of diverse
courses are also professionally delivered to postgraduate students
together with excellent research facilities.
The department aims
to:
-
Provide
high quality undergraduate teaching in both pharmacology and
toxicology.

a supportive and expert environment for students pursuing
postgraduate qualifications.

Continue it’s well-planned, high profile research with a special
