Pharmacy Program is a nationally recognized leader in pharmacy practice, and education in Oman. It was established in Muscat in 1991 with an intake of 25 students. It aims to graduate national pharmacists as required by the Omani Health Services, who are committed to lifelong learning, competent, competitive, confident and be able to work effectively in various areas of pharmacy practice and can influence the health system positively and provide pharmaceutical care and high quality health services.

Today, more than at any time in the history of pharmacy, the profession needs bright, enthusiastic young students to lead the career to even greater accomplishments.
