The Clinical Pharmacy Branch at the College of Pharmacy, University of Baghdad, has successfully implemented the use of the virtual pharmacy program MyDispense, developed by Monash University, Australia. This initiative was carried out under the auspices of the Dean of the College of Pharmacy, Assist.Prof.Dr. Sarmad Hashem Al-Khatib. A dedicated committee was formed to oversee the program’s implementation, chaired by Assist.Prof.Dr. Samer Imad Mohammed, Head of the Clinical Pharmacy Branch.
The implementation process involved formal communication with Monash University to secure a license for the virtual pharmacy program. This effort was supported through collaboration with the Computer Center and the Website Division at the University of Baghdad.
The college successfully obtained full licensing for the program, allowing its deployment in the clinical pharmacy laboratory for fourth-year students and integration into the summer training program for third- and fourth-year students. The program is expected to significantly enhance the training experience and improve students’ practical skills during their training.
This initiative aligns with the advancements in electronic and virtual education and addresses the pressing need to enhance teaching and training
