Qatar University (QU) College of Pharmacy (CPH) recently held its 9th Annual Pharmacy Student Forum. The programme featured five oral and 34 poster presentations by undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as alumni. They discussed issues related to pharmaceutical science, pharmacology, clinical pharmacy, pharmacy practice and pharmacy education.
The programme included a debate between pharmacy students on whether smokers can collect national insurance coverage for treatment related to smoking-related diseases, which was moderated by CPH Associate Professor Dr Daoudal Badriyeh. The event also included a ‘Live Like a Patient’ competition moderated by CPH teaching assistant Myriam Eljaam, where five selected students were expected to mimic the life of a patient with ‘uncontrolled’ type 2 diabetes for 10 days.
