Continuing its academic mission to graduate pharmaceutical competencies capable of keeping pace with scientific developments, and in collaboration with the Women’s Affairs Unit, the Pharmacy Techniques Department at the Technical Institute / Kufa concluded an advanced training course titled “Preparation and Diagnosis of Pharmaceutical Preparations and Their Applications.”
The course featured a selection of the department’s faculty and staff, with participation from more than a hundred male and female students, aimed at honing their skills and enhancing their scientific and practical capabilities.
This initiative, which lasted for three intensive days, targeted graduates from the academic years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, as well as a number of outstanding second-year students.
The course aimed to empower students to face challenges in the pharmaceutical field with confidence and professionalism, through a comprehensive training program that integrates theoretical and practical aspects.
Participants began their journey by learning to use advanced programs such as Chem Office for drawing chemical compounds and Auto Dock Vina for analyzing molecular docking between prepared compounds and proteins. This component represents a cornerstone in modern drug design, enabling researchers to simulate chemical reactions before moving to the laboratory phase.
Students then moved on to practical applications in the department’s laboratories, where they were trained on the preparation and purification of pharmaceutical derivatives, focusing on employing modern chemical programs in diagnostic and analytical processes, which enhances the accuracy of results and accelerates the research pace.
The course concluded with a vital component addressing dosage calculations for laboratory animals and methods of administration, alongside the biological and clinical applications of the prepared compounds. This section serves as a link between laboratory research and its application in the clinical pharmacy field, preparing students to handle various stages of drug development.
This course is an important step in the department’s journey toward qualifying a new generation of innovative and qualified pharmacists capable of effectively contributing to the development of the health and pharmaceutical sector, وand underscores the department’s commitment to providing quality education that combines academia with professionalism.
