Abstract

Entrants, who have the educational and qualification level of a junior specialist or a bachelor in the pharmaceutical sciences, can enter the pharmaceutical faculty of I. Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University to extramural education and receive higher education level in specialty 226 “Pharmacy, Industrial pharmacy”.

Analytical chemistry is one of the basic disciplines in the pharmaceutical education of the future pharmacist, which is the basis for the study of all other chemical disciplines in accordance with the curriculum of the Master’s degree in pharmacy. Analytical chemistry contains three main parts: qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, and physical and chemical methods of analysis.

Students of extramural learning study analytical chemistry in the second year, in the third and fourth semesters. The course of analytical chemistry contains 10 hours of lectures, 36 hours of practical classes, and 194 hours of independent work of students according to the curriculum of educational level “Master of Pharmacy”.

Lectures are mostly viewing nature as an overview on the more complex issues. Practical classes of the third semester are dedicated to qualitative analysis. Particular attention is dedicated to the study of pharmacopoeia’s reactions (included in the Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine), which in further helps to better learning pharmaceutical chemistry, toxicological and forensic chemistry, standardization of medicines. Practical classes of the fourth semester are dedicated to quantitative analysis, including titrimetric and physical-chemical methods of analysis. All practical work students do on the analysis of finished medicines to improve the professional orientation of future pharmacists. The theoretical bases of all methods of analysis used in analytical chemistry are discussed on the seminar part.

Since, on June 19, 2019, all students of extramural education of pharmaceutical faculty passed the licensing examination “Krok-1. Pharmacy”, so at each part of the practical lesson as well as lectures, part of the time is dedicated to the study of the questions included in the booklets of licensing examination “Krok-1. Pharmacy” for all years and test questions bases.
