A Word from the Dean

The Pharmacy profession is considered to be very dynamic due to rapid changes in both the

pharmaceutical industry and the healthcare system. Therefore, pharmacy schools should always recruit

dynamic faculty members and staff to keep up with such changes. They should always keep an open

eye for these changes and look to the future of this profession in a way that take in consideration the

importance and impact of their paramount role on the pharmacy profession. This is very essential in a

world that is also experiencing dynamic changes due to globalization, open trade and rapid advances

in biotechnology which introduced to the market new genetically–engineered pharmaceutical

products.

The Faculty of Pharmacy, since its establishment back in 1979, has been closely observing the

dynamic changes in the pharmacy profession. Accordingly, the undergraduate curriculum has been

modified several times to cope with these changes. That constitutes introducing some new courses in

addition to reducing the credits for some courses and increasing the credits for some other courses.

Also, there has been a great emphasis on the orientation toward clinical pharmacy by introducing

several core courses in this area as well as in the areas of therapeutics and pharmacy practice. More

emphasis has been given to the pharmaceutical practical training where the student has to complete 14

weeks of practical training in community and hospital pharmacies. This familiarizes the student with

the practical aspects of dispensing of medications, therapeutics, and patient counseling. Other features

of improvement in the undergraduate curriculum include enhancing the quality of practical courses

and introducing new elective courses that deals with new areas and trends in pharmaceutical sciences

to better suit the needs of our graduates and their prospective employers.

In addition to modifying our undergraduate curriculum, we have offered several postgraduate

programs that include Master Programs in Pharmaceutical Technology, Clinical Pharmacy,

Pharmaceutical Quality Control, Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy. In addition to a Ph.D.

Program in Pharmaceutical Technology.

At the beginning of the academic year 2000/2001, the Faculty of Pharmacy has started an

ambecious PharmD Program. This program has been developed after a comprehensive examination of

7

several PharmD programs in the USA and thorough discussions with people of experience with such

programs.

Jordan University of Science and Technology has sponsored a number of various scholars to

obtain their graduate degrees in various pharmaceutical sciences from the USA, UK and Australia.

Many of these scholars had already joined the faculty and the rest will join it upon completion of their

study.

The Faculty of Pharmacy houses a windows-based computer laboratory, classrooms that are

equipped with suitable audiovisual aids, in addition to a museum for medicinal plants. Our teaching

and research laboratories are equipped with advanced instruments to serve the needs of researchers,

graduate students, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Finally, a great effort has been invested to improve our undergraduate and graduate curricula to

suit the needs of our students and to cope with the recent advances in Pharmaceutical Sciences and

pharmaceutical education worldwide. These improvements reflect our commitment to be the pioneers

in the region in providing pharmaceutical education of the highest caliber.

We hope that this bulletin will convey the message of our mission and provide the information

needed about the programs and the activities of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Jordan University of

Science and Technology.

Graduate Graduates B.Sc. Graduates

The Faculty of Pharmacy seeks to promote a high caliber of pharmaceutical education,

scientific research and community based services. The faculty arranges for continous education

workshops, seminars, conferences, sponsored research, and offer pharmacetuical consultation to the

community and pharmaceutical industries. The Faculty is devoted to acquiring the latest knowledge

and always seeks to improve the teaching quality. In this regard twenty five qualified students were

offered scholarships to get Ph.D. degrees from the USA and UK. Twelve of them are now faculty

members, while the others are expected to join the faculty in few years.

2. New Programs and Facilities:

The Faculty of Pharmacy provides all necessary tools for the students to freely access a wealth

of drug information. A modern computer lab equipped with state-of-the art machines with internet

connection is now available for the students. In addition, the Faculty established a new Drug

Information Center to help the faculty members, students, and community to access a wide range and

diverse knowledge of drugs. A modern Audio Visual lab well equipped with the most modern

teaching aid technologies is now available to the Faculty and students.

13

The Faculty of Pharmacy is distinguished in its research capabilities and other scientific

activities. Over 250 scientific papers have been published in indexed and refereed journals. Among

the research areas of interest are the following:

- Drug synthesis and evaluation.

- Method development and validation.

- New drug delivery systems.

- Drug stability.

- Develop drugs through modifying their physical and chemical properties.

- Activity guided isolation and characterization of natural products from plants.

- Screening Jordanian medicinal plants.

Many seminars, presentations, and conferences at the local and regional levels were held to

promote the faculty and its achievements and aid in spreading pharmaceutical education and research

progress.

Several new educational programs were established to meet the community needs for

specialized and trained students in new uprising medical, pharmaceutical and industrial fields. A

doctor of pharmacy program (Pharm D), was launched in 2000. Pharm D is a degree awarded by the

Faculty of Pharmacy at Jordan University of Science and Technology. This degree is awarded to

candidates after the completion of 219 credit hours in a minimum of 6 years. Theoretical and practical

courses will be accomplished during the first 5 years mainly at the Faculty of Pharmacy. In the last

year of the program the candidate accomplishes a programmed clinical clerkship in various clinical

specialties at the hospital. The Faculty of Pharmacy started the Pharm D program to meet the

increased need for clinical and experiential training of pharmacists. The Pharm D program is

committed to the concept of pharmaceutical care. Thus, this program’s aim is to provide Doctor of

Pharmacy graduates who are able to provide rational and effective drug therapy for their patients that

results in cost-effective drug therapy, the proper selection of indicated agents, appropriate follow-up,

patient quality of life and preventative health. We believe this program will make revolutionary

changes in how medical care is provided.

Based on a mutual interest between the pharmaceutical industry and the Faculty, a Master’s

degree program in Quality Control was established to prepare qualified pharmacists for this vital field.

This will improve the performance of Quality Control departments in pharmaceutical industries.

14

A remarkable milestone hosted by the Faculty is the Medicinal Plant Museum. The museum

contains more than two hundred medicinal plant species with a genuine specimen of the part used.

Each plant is labeled with its nomenclature, taxonomy, English common name, Latin binomial, plant

family, Arabic name, main constituents, main pharmacological actions and common uses. The

museum also contains samples of herbal products as therapeutic agents, herbal teas and commercial

natural drugs. Students studying the following courses, Pharmacognosy, Toxic plants, Therapeutic

Medicinal Plants, do benefit from the wealth of information presented in the museum.

The Faculty of Pharmacy makes all efforts to seek funds and financial support to better equip

the students’ and faculties’ labs with chemicals and state-of-the-art instrumentations. We do host

modern HPLCs, GC/MS, FT-IR, TGA/DSC and expect to benefit from a new 400 MHz NMR, LC/MS

and Surface Area Analyzer. The “Parallel Program” adapted by the University had a positive impact

by providing the financial resources critically needed to improve and up-date the faculty infrastructure.

The curriculum and study plans have been revised continuously to cope with recent global

developments in the pharmacy profession. In this regard, clinical pharmacy and pharmacy practice

were emphasized.

Academic Departments

A. Pharmaceutical Technology Department:

Department Head: Dr. Bashar Altaani

Department Secretary: Mrs. Maisa Al-Gazawi

The Department of Pharmaceutical Technology is one of the academic departments in the

Faculty of Pharmacy that was established in 1987. In 1992 the pharmacy curriculum was modified to

include new orientations in clinical pharmacy. Thereafter, the department was re-named as the

Department of Pharmaceutical Technology and Clinical Pharmacy. In 2000 the department was split

into two departments where the Department of Clinical Pharmacy was established. The Department of

Pharmaceutical Technology offers several undergraduate courses for the Bachelor and PharmD

programs. Currently, there are ten faculty members in the department in addition to 2 lecturers, 5

teaching assistants, and 5 laboratory technicians.

The area of pharmaceutical technology is involved in the study of the physicochemical

properties of compounds and substances that are used in the development of pharmaceutical products

in addition to the quality control of such substances according to the pharmacopeias and international

laws. This area of science is also involved in the study of drug delivery systems and the development

of smart delivery systems that are highly efficient in their therapeutic effect with minimal side effects.

Biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics is another important field of study in pharmaceutical

technology where it is involved in the study of various parameters related to the absorption,

distribution, and elimination of drugs. The Department of Pharmaceutical Technology also offers

courses in pharmaceutical microbiology and this area of pharmaceutical sciences is involved in the

study of the properties of different microorganisms that are considered to be the underlying cause of

human’s infectious diseases. Pharmaceutical Microbiology is also interested in the study of different

laboratory and diagnostic techniques for infectious diseases and the use of antibiotics and therapeutics

of such diseases whether it was of bacterial, viral, or parasitic causes. Sterilization techniques and

principles of general health are also important fields in the science of pharmaceutical microbiology. In

1993 the department started a Master degree in Pharmaceutical Technology. There are two tracks in

16

the Master program and these are: non-thesis and thesis options. In the non-thesis option the student

has to pass a departmental comprehensive examination after a successful completion of 34 credit hours

of course work while in the thesis option the student is required to perform a research project, under

the supervision of an academic advisor, and write a thesis equivalent to 9 credit hours. The

department participates in offering several core courses for the Master’s programs in pharmaceutical

quality control and clinical pharmacy. A total of 33 students have graduated from the department with

a Master degree in pharmaceutical technology. Also the department offers a master program in

Pharmaceutical Quality Control with thesis and non-thesis options.

In 1998 the department started a Ph.D. program in Pharmaceutical Technology. This is first

program that offer a Ph.D. in pharmaceutical science in Jordan. The student is offered a Ph.D. degree

after a successful completion of 48 credit hours including a comprehensive examination, performing a

research project and a successful defense of the research dissertation. The first degree Ph.D. degree

was obtained in 2003. A total of four students have graduated from the department with a Ph.D.

degree in pharmaceutical technology have.

The research interests of the faculty members in the department are in the areas of physical

pharmacy, industrial pharmacy, drug delivery systems, biotechnology, biopharmaceutics and

pharmacokinetics, and pharmaceutical microbiology.

The department emphasizes the concept of pharmaceutical community service through

In response to the recent advances in pharmacy education, and the establishment of clinical

pharmacy practice at JUST, clinical pharmacy department has been separated in year 2000 to be an

independent department that oversees two new programs at the faculty of pharmacy, namely:

1. Master’s program In Clinical Pharmacy

2. PharmD program

The PharmD is a professional degree granted by the Faculty of Pharmacy. The PharmD is

similar to the Bachelor degree in Pharmacy in the fact that it is a first degree. While the traditional

Bachelor program in Pharmacy is product (drug) oriented, the PharmD program is patient oriented,

with emphasis on pharmaceutical care.

Courses offered by The Department of Clinical Pharmacy:

The department of clinical pharmacy offers a number of core and elective courses for the

students of the B.Sc. of Pharmacy, PharmD and the Master in Clinical Pharmacy. These courses

include, but not limited to the following topics: clinical pharmacy, clinical chemistry, biochemistry,

toxicology, and clinical nutrition.

The department is also responsible for the supervision of clinical clerkships and the training of

pharmacy students (Master of Clinical Pharmacy, and PharmD students) in the hospital.

Research interests:

1. Drug utilization reviews

2. Preparation of diagnostic kits

3. Studying drugs using immunological assays

4. Neuropharmacology
