It is responsible for medication management, pharmaceutical technical services, pharmacy administration, and clinical pharmacy work centered on rational drug use. As a teaching hospital affiliated with Jilin University, the department undertakes the instruction and internship training for master's and undergraduate students in pharmacy. In 2010, it was approved as a Clinical Pharmacist Training Base by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, responsible for educating and training clinical pharmacist trainees.

The department now includes the following units: Outpatient Pharmacy, Chinese Herbal Medicine Pharmacy, Inpatient Pharmacy, Yatai Campus Pharmacy, Youth Campus Pharmacy, Purchasing and Supply Office, Computer Room, Drug Storage, Pharmacy Administration Group, Clinical Pharmacist Working Group, Clinical Pharmacist Training Base, and Pharmaceutical Laboratory.

Adhering to the service philosophy of “patient-centered and rational drug use-focused,” the Department of Pharmacy closely integrates pharmaceutical services with clinical practice, fully leverages the role of pharmacists, promotes rational drug use in clinical settings, and enhances the overall level of clinical medication management in the hospital.
