Drug-history skills
Pharm.D students learn to take a structured, medication-focused patient history during the first month of clinical postings.
Campus life › Clinical attachments
Pharm.D hospital rotations.
From third year onwards, Pharm.D students spend at least three half-days a week on hospital wards under preceptor supervision.
About the rotations
Where ward work meets the syllabus.
Clinical attachments are the Pharm.D programme's clinical backbone. Each posting runs for two to four weeks under a hospital-side preceptor and a faculty mentor. Students take drug histories, follow patients through their inpatient stay, participate in multidisciplinary team meetings, and document one full case per posting.
Postings begin in third year and continue through the internship year. Rotations cover general medicine, paediatrics, surgery, psychiatry, ICU, and community pharmacy, with electives in the final year.
