3. Dean’s Message
The college of pharmacy highly values the importance of team work and
collaboration of all staff, students and members. We are committed to create a
corporate culture of trust and engagement. Everyone is participating in the
mission of the college and everyone is enhancing the productivity of the college
in all aspects. We see students as our future and we strive to create an
environment of real-life experience for them. We are also committed to provide
the best outcomes to our community and the region. The college of pharmacy is
investing in many research projects that certainly will enhance the practice of
pharmacy in particular, and will improve the human health in general.
Dr. Raid Jastania,
MD, FRCPC

19. The Curriculum Committee
The current curriculum committee was
established at the beginning of this
academic year. It is composed of the Dean,
theVice-Dean for academic affairs and
representatives of different academic
departments in the college. Recently, it has
been extended to include representatives
of students and graduates from both pro-
grams offered by our college, BPharm and
PharmD.
The main mission of the Curriculum
Committee is to review and make
recommendations on proposals for adding,
removing, or modifying courses and pro-
grams offered by the College of Pharmacy.
The Curriculum Committee is now
working on shifting the teaching delivered
by the college from topics-based
education to competency-based education.
Since sciences are in continuous
developing; memorizing lists of facts and
data is probably no longer the ideal way to
learn. Not only because an important part
of those information would be outdated
by the graduation time, but it also may not
prepare tomorrow’s Pharmacists to
practise and learn in an ever-changing
environment. Competency-based
education may be the answer. It is
designed to provide the future pharmacist
with skills they need, rather than solely
large, prefabricated sets of knowledge.
The Curriculum Committee approved a
set of 11 competencies that our students
should gain upon their graduation.Theses
competencies, which are adopted from
the international health and
pharmaceutical organizations namely
WHO, ACPE, CAPE, GPhC, are: Learner,
Caregiver, Manager, Promoter,
Problem-solver, Educator, Collaborator,
Communicator, Leader, Researcher and
Professional.
The Curriculum Committee has just
finished reviewing all the courses
currently taught in our college to see
how these courses serve the adopted
competencies, and to make
recommendations on how to improve
these courses.
On the other hand, the Curriculum
Committee is in advanced stages of
negotiations with Ernest Mario School of
Pharmacy, Rutgers, the State University
of New Jersey in order to develop our
curriculum with them.
Curriculum development is a continuous
process in which the efforts of staff,
students and graduates are essential to
produce a modern curriculum that
meets the international standards and to
equip our graduates with the
competencies and skills they need in
their future career.

SOME BAD HABITS MAY HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON
HUMAN LIFE, SUCH AS SOME SENIORS TIPS TO EAT RAW
EGGS, OR EATING THROUGH MIXED WITH MILK, BUT THAT
IS NOT TRUE AT ALL EATING RAW EGGS OF VERY SERIOUS
THINGS, ONE OF THE COMMON MISTAKES IN ATHLETES,
WHERE THEY MIX MILK, EGGS TOGETHER, CAUSING A
HARM TO THE PERSON BY 3 POINTS:
1- THE FIRST POINT: IT IS THE POSSIBILITY OF THE
PERSON TO BE INFECTED WITH DISEASES SUCH AS
SALMONELLA OR BACTERIA TYPHOID (SEVERE FOOD
POISONING), AND THIS INJURY OCCURS BECAUSE
BACTERIA TYPHOID MAY RESIDE ON EGG SHELLS, AND
MAKE IT EASIER FOR THOSE BACTERIA TO PENETRATE THE
CORTEX AND RESIDE WITHIN THE CONTENTS OF THE EGG.
EATING EGGS WITHOUT COOKING IT PREVENTS GASTRIC
JUICES FROM ELIMINATION OF THE BACTERIA INSIDE THE
STOMACH, BUT IN THE CASE OF COOKED ANY WAY, THE
BACTERIA WILL DIE AS A RESULT OF COOKING HEAT.
2- THE SECOND POINT IS THAT WHEN YOU EAT RAW EGGS
YOU DEPRIVE YOURSELF OF THE BENEFITS OF VITAMIN B7
OR BIOTIN, AND THIS IS IMPORTANT VITAMIN FOR THE
BODY. THE WHITES OF RAW EGGS CONTAIN A PROTEIN
CALLED AVIDINE STRONGLY ASSOCIATED WITH BIOTIN
AND PREVENTS ITS ABSORPTION FROM THE GUT AND
THIS PROTEIN TURNS INTO A SAFER FORM WHEN
COOKED.
3- THE THIRD POINT: IS TO EXPOSE YOURSELF TO THE
RISK OF EXCESS CHOLESTEROL, AS THE YOLK PER EGG
CONTAINS TWO-THIRDS OF WHAT THE BODY NEEDS
CHOLESTEROL THROUGHOUT THE DAY, WHICH IS
EQUIVALENT TO 200-300 MG, AND THE ENTRY OF THIS
CHOLESTEROL TO THE BODY IN A NON-OXIDIZING,
INCREASES THE THREAT TO HEART AND BLOOD VESSELS,
ESPECIALLY IN PATIENTS WITH OBESITY, BUT EATING
COOKED EGGS FULLY, REDUCES THIS RISK SIGNIFICANTLY

25. How Antibiotics stopped working
Humans sped up this natural process
through overuse of antibiotics. (the more
we take antibiotics, the more quickly the
bacteria develops).
Antibiotics are among the most com-
monly prescribed drugs worldwide.
While overuse of them is a danger, so is
under dosing. Scientists have known for
decades that using too little of an antibi-
otic can speed up resistance.
Alexander Fleming, who discovered Peni-
cillin, said “I would like to sound one
note of warning…It’s not difficult to
make microbes resistant to penicillin in
the laboratory by exposing them to con-
centrations not sufficient to kill them”.
If you take a low dose of an antibiotic or
stop it, you may kill of many of the bacte-
ria that are causing the infection but will
leave few that may be slightly resistance.
Antibiotics were considered to be drugs
that would rid the world of all infections.
What happened? Why have so many of
them stopped working?
There are several reasons, starting with
the bacteria themselves. These creatures,
which have been around for billion of
years longer than humans! are perfect ex-
amples of evolution in action. They de-
velop rapidly to survive any threat, includ-
ing a drug designed to kill them.
If any bacteria developed membranes
that drugs can’t get through, those will sur-
vive drug treatment and will replicate.
Others may produce strong enzymes that
inactivate the antibiotic. Still others may
acquire resistance genes from different
bacteria or even different species such as
viruses. Its not that you become resistant
to an antibiotic, it’s that the bacteria does.
24
26. What to do?
Not all bugs need drugs! Antibiotics don’t
work on viruses such as flu, cold or most
infections, coughs and bronchitis. Many doctors
will recommend getting extra rest and letting
the illness run its course.
·If doctors tell you an antibiotic won’t help, don’t
seek out another doctor!
·If an antibiotic is prescribed, take it exactly as
directed.
·Don’t buy over the counter antibiotics
without consulting a doctor.
·Prevent infections by getting immunized, staying
home if contagious and washing hands
frequently.

Here are the two most common
types of bacteria:
C. difficile
(clostridium difficile):
inflames the colon and causes
severe diarrhea.
MRSA (Methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus)
Can cause flesh-eating disease.

66. Pharma Quiz
An 18 year-old man is brought into the emergency department after being found on
the street unresponsive. He is lethargic and does not answer questions. He has been
given 1 ampule of Dextrose intravenously without result. On examination, his heart
rate is 60 beats per minute, and respiratory rate is 8 per minute and shallow. His
pupils are pinpoint and not reactive. There are multiple intravenous track marks on
his arms bilaterally. The emergency physician concludes that the patient has had a
drug overdose.
What is the most likely diagnosis ?
What is the most appropriate medication for this condition ?
What is the mechanism of action of , possible side effects and other uses for this
medication ?
