Pharmacy, Volume 5, Issue 2

June 2017 - 18 articles

Cover Story: The pharmacy community shows a growing interest in competence-based education (CBE) as a shift is seen in many countries, away from education structured by resources, curricula and time-frames. CBE is more easily understood by society and provides a clearer public statement of the role of the pharmacist. Furthermore, CBE can help in the mutual recognition of qualifications promoting student and practitioner mobility. Finally, the CBE approach can also facilitate the development of advanced, specialized practice. This book brings together distinguished, international specialists who describe the various facets of CBE from philosophy and implications to methodology and development, and finally to application and experience.
