In line with the strategic plan of the Faculty of Pharmacy to update and develop the curriculum, enhance field training, train students, and prepare them in the field of industry to improve the program's outcomes and quality and enhance competitiveness in the job market, industrial training has been localized in the Technology 2 course to be available to all pharmacy students to visit pharmaceutical factories. The Faculty of Pharmacy at Yarmouk University has organized more than 11 field visits to Dar Al Dawa, Al Hikma, MS Pharma and API pharmaceutical factories during the current semester to accommodate all students registered for the course.

These visits aim to familiarize students with the most important pharmaceutical factories, their different departments, machinery and equipment, work mechanisms, and stages of the pharmaceutical industry. These visits are considered a valuable addition to the curriculum, as they provide students with the opportunity to engage in practical work and apply theoretical concepts to real-life situations, thereby enhancing the quality of the educational process. All visits included lectures on the company's departments and manufacturing processes, as well as a lecture on pharmacovigilance and interactive activities for students, and a tour inside the manufacturing facilities. Each student is required to write a report on the visit, which is evaluated by the course instructor.

All visits were characterized by a high level of organization and interaction, contributing to achieving the desired goals. This visits were met with great enthusiasm by the students, as they showed their excitement and encouragement for this type of training that connects the theoretical aspect with the practical aspect.
