| Preliminary Knowledge: | Successfully completed such study courses as Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis, Toxicological Chemistry, Physical Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Medical Chemistry, Plant and Animal Biology, Pharmacognosy with phytopharmacy course. | ||||||||
| Objective: | The aim of the National degree examination in pharmaceutical chemistry and pharmacognosy is to provide the knowledge, skills and competence necessary for obtaining the qualification of a pharmacist. | ||||||||
| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | Independently get acquainted with the National degree examination programme in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmacognosy and independently repeat study courses Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis, Toxicological Chemistry, Physical Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Medical Chemistry, Plant and Animal Biology, Pharmacognosy with phytopharmacy courses acquired in accordance with the requirements of the National Degree Examination programme. The examination is designed as a test, it will include 100 questions, of which 50 questions in pharmaceutical chemistry, 15 questions in medical chemistry, and 35 questions in pharmacognosy. Each section contains at least 10% of multi-choice questions. In the pharmacognosy section of the examinations, the student must show knowledge about medicinal plants, general principles of herbal drug preparation, biologically active substances of herbal drugs, their properties; evidence-based medical applications of medicinal plant and animal drugs and products; their place and role in maintaining and / or restoring health. The questions dedicated to pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry are designed so that the answers to the questions can be found by synthesizing the knowledge gained in organic, inorganic chemistry courses, qualitative and quantitative analysis courses, toxicological chemistry, physical pharmacy courses. Students must demonstrate knowledge, skills, competence in methods of drug acquisition, analysis and determination of goodness, knowledge of drug metabolism. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | The points obtained in the pharmaceutical chemistry part and the medical chemistry part are counted together in the National Degree examination, and one mark is obtained for these parts. The second mark is obtained in the pharmacognosy section. Answers to questions with several correct answers are evaluated in proportion to the marked correct and incorrect answers, but answers to questions with only one correct answer with 1 or 0 points.
