Are you aspiring to be a pharmacis? One that can match international standards and have the capacity to carry out global best practice?
As you may be aware by now, being a pharmacist is more than dispensing a doctor's prescription. Pharmacy practice has moved far far beyond that era. Today, Pharmacists must be versatile and well equipped in the knowledge of drugs, BasicMedical practice, pharmaceutical care, health policies and good pharmacy/Business management practices.
A pharmacist must have sufficient knowledge on safe drug use, side effects, adverse effects, contraindications, etc and must also be able to supply relevant information concerning drugs to patients and health proffesionals.
Pharmaceutical care in pharmacy practice cannot be overlooked, it is a patient-oriented pharmacy practice that involves the pharmacist working in concert with the patient/client to provide safe, quality and economic treatment regimen for the patient in which the patient is involved in all the treatment processes and mutually designs a treatment plan with the pharmacist. The pharmacist must do everything within their capacity to provide all drugs, medical supplies and relevant information to the patient and also be able to change, modify, review the treatment plan if necessary in concert with the patient and other health proffesionals.
Communication skills are a must for any 21st century pharmacist as they to bring the best out of the patient-pharmacist relationship and are important for sucessful business deals. Good Pharmacy/Business management Practices must also be part of the packages of an ideal pharmacist.
Pharmacists must also be able to diagnose ailments correctly with proper clerking and the use of basic medical laboratory equipments( also the ability to intepret test results) which will aid in profering correct treatment plans to patients. Information concerning correct dosing, time and frequency of drug administratio, etc n must be at the pharmacist's beck and call.
Finally, pharmacists must not only be credible in knowledge bu also in character that is morally and ethically accepatable. These and many more are qualities and attributes a Pharmacist must posess. As a result, after careful consideration, here are the top 10 schools to obtain these qualities of a pharmacist in Nigeria:
1. OAU
2. UI
3. Uniben
4. ABU, Zaria
5. Unilag
6. NDU
7. Unimaid
8. UNN
9. OOU
10. Madona

Sorry if Your School did not make the top 10.

If Uniuyo is not there, Op ur list is faulty. What is Madonna doing there?

Bt i thought uniben is d only federal skul dat offer d.pharm(doctor of pharmacy) . . While others ar b.pharm ,so it shud b d 1st on d list

mesoade: Bt i thought uniben is d only federal skul dat offer d.pharm(doctor of pharmacy) . . While others ar b.pharm ,so it shud b d 1st on d list

lol, funny u, is quality by the name of certificate issue to graduate?

mesoade: Bt i thought uniben is d only federal skul dat offer d.pharm(doctor of pharmacy) . . While others ar b.pharm ,so it shud b d 1st on d list

Bro go and check the course curriculum it the same thing, only difference is the B.pharm or d.pharm, what difference does that make?

Eeya!!. Foolish list.

Without sentiment, it's;

1) UNIBEN with D.pharm
2) OAU
3) UI
4) ABU
5) UNN
6) UNILAG
7) OOU
UNIZIK
9) UNIMAID
10) Madonna and Ndu

Then, the rest.

btw, where are those peeps saying Madonna ain't a top Private Uni.

Where is the so-called useless school(s) like Convenant and Landmark.

coded80: lol, funny u, is quality by the name of certificate issue to graduate?

Other schools offer 5years degree programme in which you'll be issued B.pharm certificate(same as UNIBEN) but UNIBEN do another additional one year. You'll be issued D.pharm cert and be referred as a "DR".

Keep deceiving yourself with a dead school like OAU living in their grandpa's past glory.

Uniben pharmacy student spend 6years in school and would be awarded B.pharm and D.pharm( they dispense unlike B.pharm, they do most of doctors work I guess)

If you do Pharmacy in other schools, you'll only be awarded B.pharm only and it will take you addition 3years to get D.pharm unlike Uniben that combined the both.

Emelcee: If Uniuyo is not there, Op ur list is faulty. What is Madonna doing there?

Last I checked, they have adequate facilities and equipments.
Lecturers are qualified Phillipines.

Meanwhile, why do you suggest Uniuyo takes Madonna's position?

You are an OAU student that's why you don't want to accept the fact but keep defending your school.

I am not saying that if an OAU student get D.pharm, he won't be better than UNIBEN graduate.

But a Uniben pharmacy graduate has a lotta employment advantage after he graduates than other school Pharmacy graduates. He can work where they need B.pharm and also D.pharm while others would work only where B.pharm is required.

Past glory LOL! Other Nigerian universities don't need past glory like godforsaken OAU. They are moving higher while useless Oba Adaniduro University is licking their a'rse(s).

Source? Abi na the one wey your primary fancy is telling you. You for put your village primary school join na.

Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences?
Uni Jos.
Uni jos, again.
Uni Jos, again and again.

Then others follow.

I'm an ABU graduate btw.

UNijos should top your list! an entire complex specially dedicated to them.

I guess y'all haven't heard the latest news that D.pharm is about to be scrapped. (check google).. And the employment opportunities for both b.pharm and d.pharm (in Nigeria) are technically the same!

^^This is true.

Nigeria has finally scrapped the D.Pharm degree, soon all Pharmacy schools will offer just B.Pharm degree, including Uniben.

Am a pharmacist I graduated from unimaid I know about unijos and Abu zaria.. In my opinion OAU is the best followed by ABU unimaid and unijos and this is judging from the lst national hospital intern pharmacy exams. Uniben pharm D is. Overated it just an extra year of clinical practise nufin more

^^^

Keep deceiving yourself.
UNIJOS Kor, ABU ni.

As for now, we all know that UNIBEN is still the best, OAU follows and UNIJOS is not near any Top10.

P.S- I am not a UNIBEN student.

As long as UNIBEN is on the list. Am okay
