Experiential Learning in Pharmacy Education

Experiential learning in pharmacy education involves students gaining hands-on experience by actively practicing pharmacy skills in real-world settings, such as hospitals and community pharmacies. This approach allows students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations, develop critical thinking, and improve patient care skills. It bridges classroom learning with actual practice, fostering confidence and competence. By engaging directly with patients and healthcare professionals, students better understand the complexities of medication management, safety, and counseling, preparing them to be effective, knowledgeable pharmacists upon graduation.
