The Challenge of Curricular Harmonisation in Pharmaceutical Studies
Keywords:
Curricular harmonisation, Policies, Pharmaceutical education, Latin AmericaAbstract
In this article, a general overview of the evolution of pharmaceutical educational policy, led by the WHO with thecollaboration of international pharmaceutical corporations and associations is presented. We also report on the advancesthat have been made in the work carried out to achieve harmonisation of curriculum development at educationalinstitutions in the Spanish speaking countries of America. At the beginning of the XXI century, the pharmaceuticalworld faces the additional challenge of incorporating new teaching models into study programmes, where new informationtechnologies, new aptitudes and new teaching staff attitudes have an important play role in the context of a globalisedworld. In such a world, knowledge is a key factor influencing the social and economic development of a countryDownloads
