The Department of Pharmacology was established with the founding of the college in the academic year 2002-2003. The department teaches pharmacology to third-year students in the Faculty of Medicine and also collaborates with other faculties (dentistry, pharmacy, and medical technology) in teaching this subject.

To achieve advancement and mastery in the field of pharmacology at the local and international levels, as well as to contribute effectively to scientific research in order to participate in providing distinguished medical services to the community.

The mission of the department, in collaboration with other departments in the college, is to prepare successful and competent physicians in pharmacology and to develop medical services for individuals in the community. This is achieved through active participation in research and seminars related to pharmacology and other related disciplines to provide quality education in pharmacology and therapeutics to medical and graduate students through the development of innovative teaching methods.

Enable students to learn about medications and their use in practical and clinical settings in hospitals, integrate this knowledge with other scientific departments in advanced years, learn about important clinical conditions and how to treat them, prescribe appropriate medications, avoid possible side effects of these medications, and choose the appropriate medication for each condition.
