The program is designed to produce graduates with a strong pharmaceutical and clinical background as well as a high interest in pharmacy entrepreneurship. With the current job saturation of pharmacists in the public sector, future graduates can no longer expect to easily find jobs waiting for them in government hospitals. Therefore, other scopes of pharmacy career needs to be explored to instil a culture of ‘job creators’ among them. 

Exposure to community pharmacy practice in the program is in the form of regular retail pharmacy attachments. With this exposure to pharmacy practice in the community setting, students will be able to identify and establish their roles and functions in the community. Students shall obtain their clinical experience during the clinical years. They shall have sufficient experience working with and handling drug related issues with customers/patients, and they bring these experiences into their third year clinical and hospital clerkships.
