ABSTRACT

Objective:

Pharmaceutics is a crucial subject in pharmacy education, covering the principles of drug formulation, delivery, and stability. Traditional teaching methodologies, including lectures and laboratory experiments, have long been the cornerstone of education. However, the digital revolution has introduced alternative learning approaches, such as online video platforms. YouTube has emerged as a widely used supplementary educational resource due to its accessibility, visual appeal, and engaging content. This study explores the role of YouTube in learning pharmaceutics among undergraduate students, analyzing its effectiveness, student preferences, and limitations.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted among pharmacy students using an online survey to assess their use of YouTube for learning pharmaceutics.

Results:

The results indicate that a majority of students rely on YouTube for concept reinforcement, particularly for complex topics such as drug formulation and biopharmaceutics. While students appreciate the accessibility and clarity provided by YouTube videos, concerns regarding content credibility and lack of structured learning pathways remain.

Conclusion:

The study concludes that YouTube is a valuable tool in pharmacy education but should be used in conjunction with verified resources and instructor guidance.
