ONLINE PHARMACOVIGILANCE QUIZ COMPETITION

The Department of Pharmacy Practice conducted an Online Pharmacovigilance Quiz Competition on 23 September 2026 as part of the 6th National Pharmacovigilance Week. The quiz was conducted under the theme “Promoting Rational Use of Medicines through Pharmacovigilance: A Step Towards Safer Healthcare.” The activity was designed as an interactive educational programme to strengthen students’ knowledge of pharmacovigilance and medication safety. It encouraged students to actively revise important pharmacovigilance concepts and improve their awareness of Adverse Drug Reaction reporting. The online format provided students with an accessible and engaging method of participation. The quiz promoted active learning and encouraged students to develop an interest in medication-safety practices. It also provided an opportunity for students to test and reinforce their knowledge gained through the other programme activities. E-certificates were planned for participants in recognition of their involvement. The activity complemented the awareness and educational initiatives conducted during Pharmacovigilance Week.
