Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to advancing pharmacy education by bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and clinical practice. It will highlight innovative approaches that enhance teaching and learning within the field. Education serves as a vital link connecting advancements in pharmaceutical science—such as drug development, formulation, and delivery—with their practical application in clinical environments, including pharmacotherapy and patient care. We invite manuscripts featuring novel teaching methods, classroom technologies, curriculum designs, and assessment strategies aimed at helping students better integrate scientific knowledge with clinical practice. We also welcome contributions that promote the teaching of basic and clinical sciences through new methods, technologies, and assessment tools. By emphasizing both innovation and practical application, this issue seeks to provide educators and clinical pharmacists with valuable insights to improve how fundamental and clinical sciences are taught and learned.
