Clinical Pharmacy is a dynamic field of practice that requires pharmacists to continuously develop their skills and knowledge. With the expanding healthcare needs of society, the role of the pharmacist in providing care will continue to grow in all settings, whether hospital, community, or primary care. Postgraduate training provides the pathway to become advanced generalist and specialist pharmacists to meet these growing needs.

The Master of Pharmacy (Clinical Pharmacy) [MCP] and subsequent stackable option to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree provide enhanced flexibility, improved options, and diverse pathways leading to the advanced generalist and specialist pharmacy practitioners. The programme offers a full-time course of study over 1 year, and a part-time option for Singapore citizens and permanent residents completed in up to 4 years. In addition, the coursework for the MCP fulfills the didactic portion of the NUS Pharm.D. degree.

The MCP programme will enhance the clinical knowledge and practice skills of the students in the delivery of patient-orientated services, aiming to inculcate in our students the qualities of resourcefulness and enterprising spirit in their professional progression.

Further, the pedagogical approach of blended learning coupled with in-class case discussions, debates and oral presentations will develop questioning minds, prompting students to challenge current clinical pharmacy practices and lead in initiating innovative clinical programmes. Further, such in-class activities will enable our students to be effective communicators to articulate and defend their ideas.

The expected learning outcomes of the MCP program are:

  • To iterate a high level of knowledge, critical analysis, problem solving and evidence based decision making into clinical practice;
  • To manage the increased complexity and burden of both acute and chronic diseases;
  • To implement principles of quality use of medicines;
  • To critically evaluate literature to develop research questions;
  • To synthesise clinical and evidence-based information to communicate with a range of healthcare professionals and patients;
  • To demonstrate leadership and innovation in clinical practice;
  • To reflect on learning and performance to formulate ongoing professional practice development.
