During the program, students participate in various intensive activities, some of the main ones including:

1. Hospital Pharmacy Management. Observation of hospital pharmacy information systems, inventory management, organizational structures, and the roles and functions of the pharmacy department.
2. Critical Care & Internal Medicine. Case clerking activities, case discussions, and visits to the ICU and internal medicine wards to understand the role of pharmacists in critical care.
