Clinical Pharmacy

Clinical pharmacy is one of the five examination subjects for the 2nd state examination in pharmacy studies in accordance with the licensing regulations for pharmacists since 2001. Clinical pharmacy is a highly interdisciplinary subject that combines pharmaceutical, pharmacological and medical components.

Clinical pharmacy focuses on the drug therapy of individual patients as well as larger patient populations. The aim of the Clinical Pharmacy course is to enable students to independently solve problems and issues in drug therapy. Students at Saarland University are taught the necessary basics and suitable tools in lectures and seminars. Students learn to recognize and evaluate existing or potential drug-related problems, to make recommendations for future drug therapy and to competently accompany patient therapy in order to contribute to therapy optimization. The subject Clinical Pharmacy is intended to prepare students to participate in research projects on clinical-pharmaceutical issues in their future careers, to offer clinical-pharmaceutical services and to ensure competent pharmaceutical care for patients.

The lectures on Clinical Pharmacy are offered at Saarland University on the Saarbrücken campus for the 6th and 7th semesters of Pharmacy and teach the basics of Clinical Pharmacy. These basics are deepened in interactive seminars in the 8th semester and practically applied in case studies.

Anatomy and Physiology

The lecture ''Anatomy and Physiology'' is based on the subject catalog of the first section of the Pharmaceutical Examination and is intended to prepare students for the 1st State Examination in Pharmacy. This 2 SWS lecture is designed for students in the 3rd and 4th semester of Pharmacy and covers the following subject areas: Cell physiology, neurophysiology, muscle physiology, heart/circulation, blood, electrolyte and water balance (including kidney), respiration, skin and tissue, digestion (including liver), hormones and reproduction.

To reinforce the content of this lecture and to better prepare students for the multiple-choice questions in the First State Examination in Pharmacy at the end of the 4th semester, an electronic quiz is made available at the end of each subject area via the interactive Socrative learning software (www.socrative.com). Students can see immediately whether they have answered a question correctly and receive further explanations of the correct answer.

To use Socrative, students can log in to the site using their smartphone or other internet-enabled device. For students who do not have an internet-enabled device, the questions are printed out or made available via a rental device. It is also possible to use the computer pool for students in building C2 2.
