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.

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.

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.

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.

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

C. Department of Clinical Pharmacy:
Department head: Dr. Safan Al-Safi
Department Secretary: Miss Kamleh Ammarin
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
