Abstract
Pharmacy degree in Oman makes up to 5-year in Bachelor of Pharmacy and 4-year in diploma of pharmacy. The curricula of the pharmacy programme include basic sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacy practice, and experiential learning. Students are posted in different healthcare sectors and facilities during experiential learning to gain the practice experience. Graduates must complete an internship programme in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, polyclinics, health centres, and community pharmacies. Pharmacists and assistant pharmacists should fulfil the pharmacy licensing conditions and pass the Prometric exam to register and practice pharmacy. There is a shortage of pharmacy workforce in practice, academia, and industry. With the need for a specialised pharmacy workforce in different sectors, it is time to review the pharmacy education in Oman to meet the national needs and priorities.
