Abstract:
The six-year pharmacy university education program that began in 2006 was guided by the Model Core Curriculum for Pharmacy Education which started as process-based education. It was first revised in 2013 and further revised in 2023 to provide outcome-based education. There remains a need to develop a consistent six-year curriculum spanning basic science to clinical pharmacy. The overall goal is to develop problem-solving abilities; however, there are still many challenges to overcome. There has also been little progress in incorporating the basic qualities required of pharmacists into pharmacy education programs. In conjunction with the revision, guidelines have been established for practical pharmacy training, and the promotion of participatory, experiential training. However, the results are still insufficient. This article examines changes in pharmaceutical university education over the past 15 years and proposes future pharmacy education solutions.
