Dr. Alaa Yehya, Associate Professor of Pharmacology, and Dr. Ali Hmeidat, Assistant Professor of Biotechnology from the faculty of Pharmacy at Yarmouk University, visited the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) in the US as part of the "Partnership Development" grant that the American Embassy in Amman and Fulbright funded. Dr. Chris Shaffer, of the Faculty of Pharmacy at UNMC, welcomed the visitors and encouraged them to explore opportunities for collaboration. The Office of International Relations at UNMC held discussions during the visit to explore further opportunities for partnership and exchange programs between the two institutions. The focus was on fostering collaborations that benefit Yarmouk University and UNMC faculty and students.

The visit also included a tour of the I Excel Center, a cutting-edge facility that leverages virtual reality for innovative learning platforms. Additionally, Yarmouk University faculty members had the opportunity to meet students from UNMC's Faculty of Pharmacy who had previously participated in a joint class on pharmacogenomics with their counterparts at Yarmouk University.

The discussions during the visit centered around identifying common research interests and exploring potential avenues for collaborative research projects. The visit served as a platform to strengthen ties between Yarmouk University and UNMC, paving the way for future collaborations and knowledge exchange in the fields of healthcare and academia.

Dr. Deniz Al-Tawalbeh gained a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) under the program of Taziz to continue her research at Philips Marburg University in Germany.

This DAAD grant is awarded to young scientists and academics wishing to carry out research in Germany for up to 3 months. She will work on her project at the Pharmaceutical Chemistry Institute, to explore novel natural combination therapies for treating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Dr. Yazan Al-Akam, from the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy visited the American University of Shinando.

During his visit, Dr. Al-Akam gave a series of lectures and scientific workshops on pharmaceutical science and research, which were well received and interacted.

I am pleased to welcome you to the Faculty of Pharmacy at Yarmouk University website, which seeks to improve the future human resources in pharmacy, thus achieving the faculty mission of improving the healthcare system and community service.

The Faculty of Pharmacy at Yarmouk University was established in 1979 as the first pharmacy faculty in Jordan. In 1986, It was transferred to the Jordan University of Science and Technology. With a desire to develop a more comprehensive approach to university specialties, Yarmouk University reopened the Faculty of Pharmacy in 2013. In 2019, the Princess Iman bint Abdullah II building was inaugurated on the university's southern campus to house both the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Pharmacy. This building was designed to be equipped with the latest educational and research facilities, offering a distinctive environment for students with a unique design.

The Faculty of Pharmacy is dedicated to provide top-notch pharmaceutical education with the goal of equipping future pharmacists with theoretical and practical abilities. The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) granted accreditation to the Faculty of Pharmacy to guarantee the quality of instruction and the qualifications of its graduates.

The faculty provides a Master's program in Pharmaceutical Development Technology and Practice in addition to a Bachelor's degree in pharmacy, which is the prerequisite for the practice of pharmacy. This program covers specialized training in pharmacy and enables students to delve into scientific research, performance development, and professional, social, and clinical aspects.

The Faculty of Pharmacy had more than 35 faculty members with substantial scientific and research experience in a range of pharmaceutical domains. The instructors are dedicated to producing a small number of highly skilled pharmacists and eminent scholars. The Faculty places great emphasis on scientific research and takes pride in the quality and impact of its research and researchers.

Once again, we extend our warm greeting to on the Faculty of Pharmacy website, and we encourage you to browse around to find out more about the events, programs, and academic research that the Faculty of Pharmacy at Yarmouk University is involved in.
