Abstract
Pharmacists will play, next to physcians, an important role as partners in de efficient use of health care resources in the EU. They will be also major players in the development of EU pharmaceutical industry.
Today the duration and course content for pharmacy education is given in the EU Directive 2005/36/EC. Pharmine will examine the opportunities for the introduction of the Bologna principles into pharmacy education with the aim of tuning the latter to the needs in the three areas of pharmaceutical expertise : community, hospital and industrial pharmacy. It will develop a Bachelor (Master) Doctorate system for pharmacy education.
To do so, the consortium which consist of universities being member of the European Association of Faculties of Pharmacy (EAFP) and EU partner associations (community pharmacist, industrial and hospital pharmacist plus students), will survey existing EU pharmacy curricula and attempts to adapt these to the Bologna process. The consortium will then produce a common competency curriculum (also for specialized pharmacy practice) and present it to the EU Commission, national authorities and professional pharmacy bodies.
The AMEE conference is an ideal opportunity to compare tuning methods with medical educators and to discuss common problems and solutions.
