The Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacy Practice, University of Ilorin is committed to the University’s mission of teaching, learning, research and community development services in the field of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacy Practice. It is aimed at producing men and

women who are well-trained in all facets of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacy Practice  with the main purpose of meeting national and international needs in the area of drug theray/patient care  advancement.

The Philosophy is to produce well-educated graduates and trained professionals for a wide range of scientific, professional and managerial functions, which best serve the needs of the community with sufficient adaptability to meet the demands of a changing health care delivery system. Students would be provided with the opportunity to apply pharmaceutical and biomedical knowledge to problems of drug therapy related to patient care. Students will become aware of the broader social content of health care and use of medicines in order to encourage the concept of pharmaceutical care practice within the health care delivery system. The ultimate objective is to produce graduate practitioners with knowledge, skills and motivation to contribute meaningfully to proper patient care, public health, teaching, research, and community development. The programme, which is based on an internationally competitive curriculum, will be able to increase the necessary knowledge and manpower that is required to achieve excellence in pharmacy education and mitigate the deplorable drug situation in the country on the long term.
