Master of Clinical Pharmacy
A trusted clinical pharmacy leader excelling in professional care, continuous innovation, and positive healthcare transformation.
Profil
Developments in health and pharmaceutical science and technology are advancing rapidly. Several methods for diagnosing disease causes and pathogenesis are now understood at the molecular and genetic levels. Sophisticated diagnostic tools can accurately determine disease differentiation and severity, leading to different drug selections for conditions previously thought to be identical due to similar phenotypic signs. This progress has led to the rapid development of drugs with specific therapeutic targets, while also increasing the complexity of drug-related issues - including drug selection that demands high safety, efficacy, and pharmacoeconomic cost considerations.
Therapeutic outcomes are no longer measured solely by pharmacological effects and clinical or laboratory signs, but also by a patient's holistic aspects: quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. Furthermore, increasing patient awareness regarding legal rights and the entitlement to safe, effective therapy drives the demand for high-quality professionalism. True professionalism requires continuous updates to knowledge and practical experience among healthcare teams, including pharmacists. The clinical medical field has long developed its professionalism, evolving from general practice to medical specialties and sub-specialties.
Given hospital accreditation requirements that mandate clinical pharmacy services, the demand for Master of Clinical Pharmacy graduates - both now and in the future - is essential.
Based on these considerations, the Faculty of Pharmacy at Universitas Airlangga relevantly established the Professional Master's Program in Clinical Pharmacy, awarding the degree Master of Clinical Pharmacy (M.Farm.Klin.).
