The mission of our department is to develop, with other departments, a medical graduate who is equipped with contemporary pharmacological knowledge and who is competent in safe and effective prescribing.  The department also aims at undertaking high quality research activities directed at local problems related to drugs and poisons.

Our overall objective is to produce medical graduates with a sufficient pharmacological knowledge that enables them to pursue their careers in a variety of settings. This knowledge includes the effect, the adverse effect, and the clinical uses of the drugs.
