To face the challenges of the 21st century, the Faculty of Pharmacy is positioned for leadership in education, research, public service and patient care for guiding and serving the pharmaceutical care needs of society -- extending from the people of Pakistan to the global community. To be recognized as leaders, we do: Create educational experiences in all of our programs that support professionalizing our students and prepare them for career adaptability/flexibility in a changing research and practice environment.
Historical Background:
Welcome to the Faculty of Pharmacy. The Faculty has been recognized as one of the most prestigious institutions of Pharmacy within the country and abroad. It has comparatively shorter but exciting history, dating back to 1975, when a dedicated Department of Pharmacy began delivering pharmaceutical education, first in the Government Science College at the City Campus and then in the Department of Chemistry at New Campus of the Gomal University.
In the beginning the Department of pharmacy was conferring a three-year B-Pharmacy degree. Later on in 1980 the three-year Bachelor of Pharmacy Course was replaced with a Four-year post-Inter level degree accredited as equivalent to the Master Degree by the University Grants Commission (UGC).
In 1983, the department moved to a purpose designed building on the University's New Campus. During the first decade of its life the Department grew fast in size and stature. Consequently, in 1990 it was upgraded to the current status of ‘Faculty of Pharmacy’ comprising four full-fledged departments viz. Department of Pharmaceutics, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry. Department of Basic Medical Sciences and Department of Pharmacognosy.
The Faculty of Pharmacy offers a wide range of taught courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels leading to professional and vocational qualifications and good employment opportunities. The quality of taught provision has been recognized by the Quality Assurance Agencies and by many Professional and Statutory Bodies. Our research excellence has also been widely acknowledged. The curriculum is relevant and modern, with the Pharmacy degree having full professional accreditation. It is not surprising that the vast majority of our graduates find employment soon after graduation.
Library Services:
The Faculty has an independent seminar library devoted to supporting the teaching, learning and research. We have a unique academic library that is particularly strong in the core pharmaceutical sciences, Chemistry, pharmacognosy and pharmacology but which also spans the whole biomedical spectrum and beyond. We offer our users a teaching collection of textbooks specifically in response to the taught courses. Our expanding manuscript collection holds some 3300 volumes, including the textbook and reference books collection. However, we also cater for research.
Our users can also fully avail the facility of Digital Library provided by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan, currently subscribing to several thousand scholarly electronic journals.
In order to meet the exciting developments and to provide high quality teaching and research environment, the Faculty of Pharmacy, Gomal University started its M-Phil and PhD programs in 1987 and 2000 , respectively.
As we know, greater emphasis has recently been placed on the involvement of pharmacists in providing direct patient care in both hospital and ambulatory care settings. The concept of clinical pharmacy and pharmaceutical care has revolutionized the pharmacy profession the world over. Therefore, in order to bring it at par with the rest of the developed as well as developing countries, the four-year conventional B-Pharm program was replaced with a five-year Pharm-D (Doctor of Pharmacy) program which has been offered to pharmacy students since 2004.
