In OPI the tutors use a wide range of stimulating and illustrating materials to teach the concepts outlined in the curriculum to ensure that students are actively involved in their learning. The class rooms are equipped with multimedia tools to provide the teaching materials (syllabus, assignments, discussion groups, projects, class notes, video materials and power points) for the lectures in a flexible and easy way. The institute has three main laboratories: pharmacology lab, chemistry lab and the pharmaceutics lab which are equipped with all needed supplies, chemicals and equipments for the demonstrations of the laboratory experiments of the lab courses. In, addition the institute created the dispensary which is used as a simulation room that allows the students to practice the pharmacists’ roles and duties [Institutional Pharmacy Training (Role Play Exercises)]. Role Play Exercise aims to teach the students the essential patient-care skills, including communication with other health professionals and with the patients, information-gathering, obtaining patient history, making an assessment, recommendation, writing papers and presentation. It will improve the ability of the students for counseling the patients and giving the appropriate advice about the dispensed drugs.
