Pharmacy Law and Ethics is a course designed to introduce students to the legal frameworks and ethical considerations that govern the practice of pharmacy. The course covers key legislation affecting pharmaceuticals, including drug approval, dispensing regulations, prescription management, and controlled substances. Students will examine ethical dilemmas frequently encountered in pharmacy practice, such as patient confidentiality, informed consent, and professional responsibilities. By exploring both legal standards and ethical principles, this course aims to equip future pharmacists with the knowledge and judgment necessary to navigate complex situations and uphold public trust in healthcare.
