The students were introduced to the role of technology in supporting safe and efficient medication management, including the use of chemotherapy infusion pumps and the Pyxis medication management system. They also observed the role of clinical pharmacists within the multidisciplinary healthcare team across the inpatient wards.

This enriching experience contributes to strengthening students’ clinical skills, expanding their understanding of hospital pharmacy practice, and preparing them for their future professional roles in healthcare.
