The program has attracted a large number of students and businesses. Speakers pointed out that artificial intelligence (AI) is opening a new direction in the pharmaceutical industry, from supporting drug preparation to consulting on the use and storage of medical records to customer care.
At the same time, it is noted that in addition to digital skills, future pharmacists need to have a solid foundation of knowledge and professional qualities such as responsibility, integrity and communication skills - factors that cannot be replaced by machines.
HIU is implementing three key training strategies for the pharmaceutical industry: Improving the training program in the direction of streamlining - practice; enhancing technological skills, critical thinking and expanding deep cooperation with businesses.
One of the highlights is the shortening of training time from 5 years to 4.5 years thanks to the three-semester model each year. Students are given early internships at hospitals, factories, and testing institutes. HIU aims to increase the practice - internship ratio to 25-40% according to international standards, aiming for training based on real output capacity.
