In 2006, the Department of Pharmacy was created at the Crimean State Medical University, combining the teaching of basic special pharmaceutical disciplines. With the increase in the number of students in the specialty “Pharmacy”, the question arose about the need to create a pharmaceutical faculty, and in April 2017, by order No. 6 of 20.01.2017. the Faculty of Pharmacy was established, the dean of which was Professor Tikhonova S.A.
The Faculty of Pharmacy includes the Department of Pharmacy (Head of the Department Prof. S.A. Tikhonov), Medical and Pharmaceutical Chemistry (Head of the Department, Prof. A.M. Katsev), Pharmacology (Head of the Department, Prof. I.D.Sapegin ).
The dean’s office of the Faculty of Pharmacy oversees the educational, methodological and organizational work of specialized departments.
Much attention at the Faculty of Pharmacy is paid to the development of practical skills by students. Students in the specialty “Pharmacy” undergo practical training at the bases of pharmacies of the Republic of Crimea, at the phytosovkhoz “Raduga”, in the botanical garden of the KFU, as well as in the Nikitsky botanical garden.
With the creation of an accreditation center for the specialty “Pharmacy” on the basis of the Medical Academy named after S.I. Georgievsky Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education “KFU named after V. I. Vernadsky ”, the region got the opportunity to conduct primary and periodic accreditation of pharmacy specialists, which is especially important in the modern legislative field of the Russian Federation. After graduating from the specialty “Pharmacy”, our graduates, along with the qualification “specialist”, are assigned a special title of pharmacist. To start pharmaceutical activity, graduates need to undergo primary accreditation, and in the subsequent work, undergo periodic accreditation.
