Pharmacy education is integrating digital health competencies through a co-designed curriculum framework. Key areas include AI, EHRs, and digital literacy, preparing the future pharmacy workforce.
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Pharmacy Education
- Curriculum Development
Background:
- Digital health technologies are transforming pharmaceutical care.
- Pharmacy education lags in integrating digital health content into curricula.
- A need exists for a structured digital health curriculum framework for pharmacy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To co-design a modular digital health curriculum framework for pharmacy education.
- To integrate digital health competencies into pharmacy curricula using a stakeholder-driven approach.
- To address the gap in digital health training for the pharmacy workforce.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative, stakeholder-driven process using the ADDIE instructional design model.
- Two expert workshops with 30 participants from 13 European countries.
- Co-design activities included competency mapping, design sprints, and framework integration.
Main Results:
- Identified key digital health pillars: AI, electronic health records (EHRs), ethics/legal foundations, and digital health literacy.
- Co-designed eight module outlines covering diverse digital health topics.
- Organized modules into a three-tier sequence (foundational, applied, advanced) for pharmacy education.
Conclusions:
- A multinational, co-designed digital health curriculum blueprint for pharmacy education was developed (Analysis and Design phases).
- Feasibility is influenced by faculty expertise, curriculum constraints, and institutional digital maturity.
- Accreditation, regulations, and pilot programs are key enablers for implementation and future work (Development, Implementation, Evaluation).
