[Additional education of pharmacy students in clinical care units: a useful experience?]

Following the French program of pharmaceutical education, students of the Pharmaceutical Institute of the Université Libre de Bruxelles have taken, during six weeks, an additional training in a department of internal medicine of three university hospitals. The results of this experience show that this program modification, particularly if it is carefully prepared, is highly advantageous for the pharmacist education. Moreover, it may consolidate the collaboration between the pharmacist with the medical profession and therefore represent a contribution to Health Care.
