It is recommended to have passed the subjects of General Pharmacology; Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy I, Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy II and Biopharmacy and Pharmacokinetics.
The clinical pharmacy is a specialty of the Health Sciences, whose purpose is to ensure the safe and proper use of medicines in patients, through the integration of pharmacotherapeutic knowledge and analysis of the patient's clinical situation, with the support of new technologies and interacting with other health professionals.
At the end of the course, the student will be able to integrate the knowledge of pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, pharmaceutical care and communication with the patient, for a better approach to pharmacotherapeutic problems. On the other hand the student will have acquired the necessary knowledge for the management of medicines in the health environment, at the level of acquisition, selection, conditioning and dispensing of medicines. You will learn how to carry out a pharmacotherapeutic follow-up and health education to promote and guarantee the rational and safe use of medicines. You will learn the importance of applying scientific methodology to the search for pharmacotherapeutic information.
The training received will allow the student to know the management of the drug in clinical practice, developing the necessary skills for him/her future professional activity. With the general and ultimate goal of getting the student to relate the medication and its environment to the patient.
The Clinical Pharmacy completes the student's training on medication, making him competent of assuming future functions and activities.

Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 20.00% | 20.00% | Attendance at practical classes is compulsory. The practices are mandatory activities that cannot be recovered, so that the existence of a fault without adequate justification will imply that the student WILL NOT BE ABLE to pass the subject.
