To provide students with the theoretical and practical knowledge required under the terms of the Ministerial Order of 11 June 2003 stipulating the criteria for the award of professional status as a hospital pharmacist.
This knowledge is covered through five modules :
- Hospital organization and management
- Fight against nosocomial infections
- Pathology and pharmacotherapy
- Hospital technology
- Radiopharmaceuticals
The practical part in a hospital pharmacy must last at least 480 hours (cfr Moniteur, in the annex).
The course (including the placement) lasts one year on a full-time basis. The hospital pharmacy committee may agree to it being spread over two years, if students have professional responsibilities or if their personal situation justifies this: it is subject to the agreement of the President of the School of Pharmacy
The programme of classes and placements has recently been modified to give pharmacists better training in the basic principles of clinical pharmacy as well as the pharmacotherapy of the main pathologies encountered in the hospital environment.
