Faculty of Pharmacy Students Participate in EPICO Summer Training to

Develop Pharmaceutical Skills

As part of its mission to enhance students’
practical competencies and prepare them for
the pharmaceutical job market, the Faculty of
Pharmacy at Mansoura National University
proudly announced the participation of a
group of its students in the summer training
program organized by EPICO (Egyptian
International Pharmaceutical Industries
Company). The program was conducted
under the patronage of Prof. Cherif Khater,
University President, and the leadership of
Assoc. Prof. Ahmed El-Sheakh, Director of
Pharm D (Clinical Pharmacy) Program, and the supervision of Dr. Randa Hany.

The training focused on pharmaceutical marketing and promotion, combining online theoretical
courses with field-based training in community pharmacies under the guidance of EPICO’s
professional team. Students engaged in real-world applications, including pharmacy visits, and
underwent multiple evaluation stages, such as specialized assessments and independent fieldwork.
A total of ten students from the Faculty of Pharmacy participated in the program, with three female
students successfully completing all requirements—an achievement that included visiting over 100
pharmacies and meeting the rigorous performance standards set by EPICO.

This collaboration underscores the faculty’s commitment to bridging academic learning with
industry-based training, ensuring that students graduate with not only strong scientific
knowledge but also practical, market-ready skills. By offering students exposure to real
pharmaceutical environments, the Faculty of Pharmacy continues to align its educational strategies
with the evolving needs of the healthcare sector and the career ambitions of its graduates.
