Clinical clerkship at an oncology hospital based on the curriculum of a clinical pharmacy program from a university belonging to low-middle-income country: Insights from a pharmacy program experience

Abstract

Nepal, a low-middle-income country, is relatively new to clinical pharmacy. Although the program started in 2000 with several universities running it as of today, the effectiveness of this program has been under discussion since its inception regarding its syllabus, practical issues, clinical postings, and importance in hospital settings. In this commentary, we share our 14 days of experience of a clinical clerkship period carried out under a curriculum of a university constituent school in an oncology-based hospital with a clinical pharmacy department providing clinical pharmacy services.
