Distinct Program in Veterinary drugs and medicinal Preparations

Introduction and program features:

  1. This program is characterized by ensuring the graduation of qualified and distinguished veterinarians in one of the branches of life that concern all members of society at the local and international levels, namely medicines and veterinary medical supplies.
  2. The study in the faculties of veterinary medicine covers many specializations, but under the current circumstances, the veterinarian is graduated as a general practitioner familiar with the various fields of veterinary medicine and has considerable experience in the field of medicines and veterinary medical preparations, which are later refined in the form of specialized studies in this field. Therefore, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Cairo University sought to establish this distinguished program in medicines and veterinary medical preparations, which gives the veterinarian many skills to work in the field of medicines and veterinary medical preparations in terms of prescribing the appropriate medicine for the diseased condition as well as the use of those veterinary medicines, feed additives and vaccines used in poultry and animal diseases Therefore, the distinguished veterinarian becomes one of the main pillars in the bodies specialized in veterinary medical preparations, scientific offices of companies and veterinary pharmaceutical factories that need to prepare files for veterinary medicines for the stages of registration, writing medical bulletins, and studying the effectiveness of veterinary medicines before trading in the markets.
  3. In view of the labor market’s need for such a graduate, a selection of professors specialized in this field will teach in this program in the faculties of veterinary medicine, agriculture, pharmacy, law and trade. Some expertise and some of the ministries and agencies concerned, research centers and laboratories of the Export and Import Authority may be sought.
