Student clubs in the Department of Pharmacy Organization and Economics:
Student clubs play an essential role in the academic and personal growth of students. They create a space for informal learning, exchange of ideas and practical experience outside the compulsory curriculum. By participating in clubs, students develop important skills such as critical thinking, teamwork, leadership and organization - qualities that often remain in the shadows within traditional lectures and tutorials.
In the Department of Pharmacy Organization and Economics there are two student clubs:
- HOSPITAL PHARMACY
- ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN PHARMACY
They bring together young people with common interests in pharmacy, creating a strong sense of belonging to the profession and encouraging creativity, initiative and commitment to it. In the student clubs, students have the opportunity to work on research projects, participate in conferences, word on scientific publications and meet established professionals, which greatly enriches their education.
Lecturers from the department take part and support the teaching of other disciplines at the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Faculty of Public Health.
The academic staff of the Department organizes and conducts the State Exam in “Social Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Legislation" for the SRP "Pharmacy", participates in the teaching of students in the Master's Program "Pharmaceutical Management and Care" at the Faculty of Public Health of MU-Varna and SRP in the specialties "Organization and Economics of Distribution and Pharmacy Practice", "Organization and Economics of Pharmaceutical Production" and "Hospital Pharmacy".
