Approved hospitals for Pharmacy internship in Nigeria (2024)

Are you searching for an hospital to do your Pharmacy internship in Nigeria? You are just on the right page.

Studying Pharmacy is a great way to develop the skills needed in the Pharmaceutical industry. However, while it is one thing to study Pharmacy, it is another thing to become a Pharmacist.

Why?

Because simply studying Pharmacy doesn’t make you a Pharmacist. Completing your mandatory one-year Pharmacy internship at an approved health facility and getting licensed by the Pharmacist Council of Nigeria (PCN) makes you one.

Otherwise, you’ll only be a quack Pharmacist. I’m sure you don’t want that.

To help you become a competent profession – a licensed Pharmacist, I put together this blog. The aim of this page is to show you hospitals where you can do your internship as a fresh graduate of Pharmacy.

While the list is long, the experience you’ll gain by the end of your training will vary depending on where you end up doing your internship.

Moreover, you already learned the theory at one of the universities offering Pharmacy in Nigeria. Now its time to learn the application of Pharmacy and be on your way to becoming a licenced Pharmacist.

But then, can you do your internship in any hospital? No. There are hospitals accredited by the body regulating Pharmacy practice (PCN) in Nigeria to do your internship.

This page is basically about those hospitals that are accredited for the one-year internship.
