ABSTRACTS
Experience from Model Core Curriculum for
Pharmacy Education in Japan
Tetsumi Irie
Department of Clinical Chemistry &
Informatics, Center for Clinical Pharmaceutical
Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences, Kumamoto
University, Kumamoto, Japan
Reforming Pharmacy Education in Japan: Over
the past decade, the pharmacy education in
Japan has been reformed drastically. A six-year
pharmacy education system in Japan was
introduced in April, 2006, while the existing
four-year pharmacy course remains in place to
bring up researchers and technical experts in
cutting-edge life sciences and environmental
sciences. The six-year pharmacy education
programs are conducted in accordance with
the Model Core Curriculum for Pharmacy
Education. The Japan Accreditation Board for
Pharmaceutical Education has evaluated and
accredited the six-year pharmacy education
program of each university since 2012. The
Model Core Curriculum was revised in 2013, in
which the concept of outcome-based
education was introduced into the pharmacy
education, and ten standard competencies for
pharmacists as healthcare professionals were
defined.
Pharmaceutical Common Achievement Tests
prior to Pharmacy Practice Experiences:
During the six-year pharmacy education
system, fifth grade students perform long-term
pharmacy practice experiences in community
pharmacy and hospital pharmacy (2.5 months
each, for compulsory 20 course credits), in
which the student achieves a deeper
knowledge of his or her specialty through
practical application. For a student who does
not have a pharmacist license to participate in
the pharmacy practice, it must be proven that
33
the student's competence is at a required level

in the pharmacy practice experiences. For this
purpose, all Japanese universities offering the
six-year pharmacy programs implement the
Pharmaceutical Common Achievement Tests
(PhCAT), consisting of Computer-Based Testing
(CBT) and Objective Structured Clinical
Examination (OSCE). Only students who pass
PhCAT can move on to the pharmacy practice
experiences.
Importance of Research (Final Project) in
Pharmacy Education: Of the ten defined
standard competencies for pharmacists, the
research ability for the students to carry out a
research to contribute to progress in the
pharmacotherapy is related to the final project
(graduation thesis). The final project is part of
the last stage of the pharmacy education
program. During the final project the pharmacy
students would have a chance to apply the
knowledge obtained during their studies to
come up with a solution to a specified
pharmaceutical problem. The subjects for the
final project would be extended ranging from
basic pharmaceutical research to clinical
studies.
By enriching and improving the pharmacy
education program, we can develop
pharmaceutical sciences as an integrated
science based on basic pharmaceutical sciences
and clinical pharmacy. During the past decade,
we just established the framework for the new
pharmacy education, and the important thing
will be to implement the continuous reform for
approaching a new high-quality standard of
pharmacy education.

The changing pattern of syllabus for Pharmacy

students in Universiti Sains Malaysia
Syed Azhar Syed Sulaiman
School of Pharmacy, University Sains Malaysia,
Malaysia
The role of pharmacists change accordingly
based on the economic demand and also
requirement by the healthcare system in
specific country. Most of the countries in South
East Asia currently are focusing on Pharm D
program to produce clinical pharmacists but in
reality this did nt occurs as plan due to the
miscommunication between the government
and service provider. Pharmacy school should
be sensitive regarding the needs of the country
and how the university can help to improve the
situation by providing appropriate measures. In
Malaysia saturation of pharmacists working in
clinical sectors has lead our university to
explore new ways of dealing with the problem.
School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University
Sains Malaysia has created industrial sector for
the students to choose instead of doing clinical
pharmacy program. Specific syallabus has been
created and the students have to decide after
they enter year 3 whether to move to clinical
pharmacy or doing industrial aspect. All
pharmacy students will have the basic program
up to 3rd year first semester. They will take the
common subjects including basic clinical
pharmacy subjects. In second semester third
year they will start to have specific program for
clinical or industrial. For industrial placement,
varieties of pharmaceutical industries was
called to collaborate with us and specific
agreement. The students will be in various
places in Malaysia according to the main place
where the industries are situated. As for
clinical they will be attached in various places
included hospital, community pharmacy,
specific clinics and varities of specialty to train
the students and to see different aspect of
clinical pharmacy. The program has been
approved by Ministry of Education and
Malaysian Qualification agency based on the
current standard for pharmacy curicullum.

Current the first batch is involved in the
program and we are hoping that such specialty
will fulfill the need of the country based on the
specific program that is run by the university.
Ladderization of the B.S. Pharmacy Curriculum

in the Philippines
Imelda G. Pena
Dean, College of Pharmacy, University of the
Philippines Manila, Philippine
The Philippine Qualifications Framework (PQF),
established through Executive Order No. 83,
series of 2012, is a national policy that
describes
the
levels
of
educational
qualifications and sets the standards for
qualification outcomes. Basically, the PQF
helps a person to plan his career & learning
pathways at whatever stage in his life and to
get a certification that is nationally recognized.
This paper presents the process of how the BS
Pharmacy program in the Philippines has been
made ladderized-employment ready, such
that the courses have been aligned with the
competencies in the technical vocational
education and training (TVET) program for
Pharmacy services.
This will facilitate
transition and progression between TVET and
higher pharmacy education. A review of the
proposed outcome-based curriculum has been
conducted and courses have been identified
that can contribute or address the basic, core
and common competencies required for
Pharmacy Assistants. The proposed curriculum
has been updated in light of the gaps
generated during curricular mapping. The
proposed
outcome-based
five-year-BS
Pharmacy program has accommodated these
equivalency pathways.

Change in Pharmacy Education System in

Indonesia to Accommodate National Needs
DaryonoHadi Tajahjono
Dean, School of Pharmacy, Bandung Institute
of Technology, Bandung, Indonesia
Pharmacy higher education in Indonesia was
established since 1946, which held by
Department of Pharmacy, and had been
managed under a faculty named Faculteit voor
Wiskunde and Natuurwetenschapen (Faculty of
Mathematics and Natural Sciences), or under
Faculty of Pharmacy. Since 2006 most of
pharmacy higher education institutions are
change to School/Faculty of Pharmacy for
more independent in academic management.
Pharmacy higher education includes diploma (3
year), bachelor (4 year), pharmacist (4+1 year),
magister and doctoral programs. Since April
2015, all pharmacy study programs are
accredited every 5 years by Independent
Accreditation Agency for Higher Health
Education.
Curricula of Indonesian pharmacy higher
education is mainly product oriented, since
first established in 1940s, with community
pharmacy was the main pharmacy practice of
Indonesian pharmacist. Since 2006, some
schools/ faculties as well as Association of
Indonesian Pharmacy Higher Education (APTFI)
and Association of Indonesian Pharmacist (IAI)
have been showing a concern on how to
strengthening clinical pharmacy in Indonesia.
Some schools and faculties have been
conducting bachelor program in clinical (and
community) pharmacy to support the
competence of pharmacist candidates,
although the pharmacy education system
produce general pharmacist only. Some
schools and faculties also have magister
program in clinical pharmacy. Recently, IAI
established a collegium and its sub-collegium
for thinking about secondary (specialist)
pharmacist in next future.
35
AASP
The majority of Indonesian pharmacists are

practicing in community pharmacy, while
others make practice in hospital/clinical
pharmacy, industrial pharmacy as well as in
regulatory pharmacy. All pharmacists are
registered by Council for National Pharmacy,
while pharmacy practices are regulated by
Ministry of Health. There is only a little
progress, now medical doctors have
acknowledged pharmacist in clinical pharmacy
practice.
Thus, reconstructing clinical
pharmacy education is still needed.

This presentation will provide an overview of
Pharmacy education programs at Australian
Universities using the University of Sydney
undergraduate B Pharm, graduate entry M
Pharm and post degree Internship Training
Program (ITP) as exemplars of the programs
available in Australia as entry into the
pharmacy profession as Pharmacists. In
addition, a synopsis will be provided of the
national (Australiawide) registration scheme
for Pharmacists and the accreditation of
pharmacy degrees and ITP programs by the
Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) on behalf of
the Pharmacy Board of Australia (PBA) which
undertakes this function as part of the remit of
The Australian Health Practitioner Registration
Authority (AHPRA) which regulates Australias
health practitioners. One major objective of
the NRAS scheme is to provide for the
protection of the public but ensuring a balance
between the burden (cost) of registration and
accreditation vs the need to ensure public
safety. Future trends in Pharmacy education in
Australia and internationally will also be
discussed.

Research on the Construction of Pharmacists

Competency Model in China
Xu Xiaoyuan
Social and Administrative Pharmacy, Director
of International Office, China Pharmaceutical
University, China
Context:: With the development of medical and
health career and the increasing
incre
need of
people for health, pharmacists start to play
increasingly important roles in disease
prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and other
health care services areas, and are also
regarded as an important part for ensuring
people's lives and health.. However, the basic
competencies that a qualified pharmacist
should have and the unique competencies that
an outstanding pharmacist in China need to
have have not been determined yet. Lack of
these basic ideas, affected the cultivation of
pharmacist talents
ts and the development of
pharmacists to some extent. To solve the
above problem, this paper will introduce the
competency model involving individual
behavior characteristics into the field of
pharmacists for the first time, to determine the
competence types,
es, competency elements and
respective contents through a series of
empirical analysis, and also to provide
theoretical basis and support for cultivation
and management of pharmacists based on
competency.
Objectives:: To determine the general
competencies and
nd outstanding competencies
that community pharmacists and hospital
pharmacists must have.
Methods:: According to the competency model
building theory, use the method of literature
review, behavioral event interview and
statistical analysis to build competency
compete
model
of pharmacists in China.
Results and Conclusions:: The
model framework of pharmacists
5 dimensions of characteristics,
total number of 25 competency
pharmacists, including general competency

elements that all pharmacists need to have,
and outstanding competency elements that
community
pharmacists
and
hospital
pharmacists should
have. Building the
competency model for pharmacists helps
developing and cultivating the abilities of
pharmacists in China in the future.

involving a
elements of
36
to 2012 FIP Centennial Declaration entitled

Improving global health by closing the gaps in
the development, distribution, and responsible
use of medicine, pharmacy school must have
balanced and well-organized education system
for sciences and practicesto train not only
pharmacist (Pharm. D. in case of 6 years
education) but also pharmaceutical scientist
(Fig. 1): Pharmaceutical scientists must be
prepared with necessary competencies and in
sufficient numbers, so that they can innovate
and develop novel medicines and their dosage
forms while pharmacistsstore, preserve,
compound and dispense medicinal products,
and counsel on the proper use and adverse
effects of drugs and medicines following
prescriptions issued by medical doctors and
other health professionals. They contribute to
researching, testing, preparing, prescribing and
monitoring medicinal therapies for optimizing
human health. In addition, faced with patients
unmet needs and enormous amounts of big
data, pharmacist requires more efficient
practices, research, and strategies to harness
the full medical benefits via drug development.
Thus, modeling and establishment of good
professional curricula are very important for
quality of education. However, the education
system to cultivate pharmacist and doctor of
pharmacy is changed by country-to-country.
Korea has started 6 yearsopen education
system (2+4 years) since 2011 to meet global
standard in total 35 colleges of Pharmacy.
Although the total credits among 35 colleges
vary from 140 to 172, they have well
established professional curricula to meet
minimal requirement of pharmacy practices
(1,400 hours). Cores and courses of curricula in
Korean pharmacy schools classify into four
categories
such
as
biopharmacy,
pharmaceutical
industry,
Clinical
and
Pharmaceutical Practice and Health and
pharmaceutical law & regulations for
undergraduate and license exam. However, it
is necessary to consider pathfinding and
framework of pharmacy education to be
renovated for future professionals in pharmacy

schools. Recently, U.S. pharmacy schools offer

dual and joint degree programs that allow
students to simultaneously pursue an
additional advanced degree, specific career
interests and to enhancetheir overall
experience in the Pharm.D. program. For
example, among 140 U.S. pharmacy schools, 87
schools offer dual degree programs: 31 schools
Pharm.D/PhD
&63
schoolsPharm.D/MBA.These dual and joint degree
programs are very attractive but timeconsuming. It also requires some collaboration
with other departments. Pharmacy school,
Ajou University is now case-studying curricula
for undergraduate. Students require 172
credits during four years education but allow
them to flexibly take 20 credits from three
tracts for future professional and job functions:
Clinical, Research and Free challenge
(Paran/business/liberal art tract). This
modeling of professional track curriculum of
Pharm. D. program can provide more flexibility
in education for undergraduate students to
upgrade
their
professionalism
within
undergraduate courses.
The changing landscape of pharmaceutical

education and research in Singapore
Christina Chai Li Lin
Department of Pharmacy, National University
of Singapore, Singapore
The Singapore story is a well-known story of
rags to riches from a 3rd world country to
the first. In terms of education, training and
research, Singapore has established herself as
among the best internationally, built over a
short period of time. Yet, Singapore is
constantly looking to renew herself to stay
ahead of the game. Part of Singapores success
is due to her agility to respond to new
challenges to ensure competitiveness in the
region and the world. The Department of
Pharmacy, the National University of Singapore
(NUS) is the only Pharmacy School in Singapore
AASP
and we celebrated its 110th anniversary in

2015. This rich heritage has seen much changes
in the education as manifested in the
curriculum, as well as advances in the research
and practice of pharmacy. Where will we go
henceforth? This presentation provides a view
of the key healthcare and research agenda of
the country and describes how this landscape
influences the pharmaceutical education and
research in Singapore.
The curriculum of the first Pharm. D. program

in Taiwan
Fe-Lin Lin Wu
Graduate Institute of Clinical Pharmacy/School
of Pharmacy, College of Medicine, National
Taiwan University, Taiwan
With the transition from product-orientated to
patient-centered pharmacy services, advanced
pharmacy education is required in Taiwan to
equip pharmacists with strong therapeutic,
clinical and administrative competency to meet
the needs of healthcare system, healthcare
administration,
manufacturing,
industrial
pharmacy,
academia,
and
other
pharmaceutical fields in our society at large.
National Taiwan University (NTU) School of
Pharmacy (SP) established Taiwans first 6-year
Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program in
September, 2009. The Pharm.D. program
paralleled for 5 years with the Bachelor of
Science (B.S.) in Pharmacy which has been
established since 1953. NTUSP confers
Pharm.D. exclusively for undergraduate
students since 2014.
This
program
basically
follows
the
Accreditation Council of Pharmacy Education
(ACPE) standards; and provides integrated
courses and various practice experiences to
excel in pharmacy education. During the 2 year
pre-Pharm courses, an early exposure, socalled shadowing experiences, is offered to
introduce different pharmacist careers.
Students study advanced pharmacy courses
and 23 credit hours of integrated therapeutic

courses in the next 3 year. They have to spend
640 and 180 hours of intermediate pharmacy
practice experiences (IPPE) in hospital and
community pharmacy in the 4th and 5th year,
respectively. There are also industrial
pharmacy and pharmaceutical manufacturer as
elective IPPE. During the last year, students
must finish 36-week advance pharmacy
practice experiences (APPE). The APPE consists
of 18-week core courses in hospital (including
critical care, general ward and specialized
pharmacy services) and 18-week electives
(including community pharmacy, pharmacy
administration, pharmaceutical manufacturers,
industrial pharmacy, and research/academia).
A faculty and preceptor development is the key
to success of the professional program.
Therefore, reform of pharmacy services (e.g.,
computerized physicians order entry and
clinical decision support system, 7-24 coverage
of inpatient services, order verification before
the first dose, dispensing automation, clinical
pharmacist for every intensive care unit,
operation
room
pharmacy
service,
anticoagulant
clinic)
and
international
cooperation in preceptor training have been
developed at NTU Hospital, the main APPE site,
in recent years. Training courses for
community pharmacist also began in 2010.
Currently 4 out of 9 pharmacy schools in
Taiwan offer only Pharm.D. program, and 1
offers both Pharm.D. and B.S. Pharm. In 2016,
approximately 16% of pharmacy freshmen will
be in Pharm.D. programs. Though variations
exist among these programs, the direction
toward Pharm.D. education is established for
the evolving healthcare systems.
Pharm.D- Opportunities and Developments in

India
Krishnan Karthickeyan

AASP
University, Kattankulathur, Chennai,

In India, Pharm.D program started in the year
2008 with the aim of increasing the scope of
pharmacy to meet the current health care
needs. Many Pharm.D graduates are unaware
about the non-traditional career opportunities
available and continue to look for traditional
job opportunities in India. The aim of the
presentation is to find the potential
employment opportunities for Indian Pharm.D
graduates and scope for development in each
specific area.
Pharmacovigilance
Major drug companies based in Europe and
other developed countries outsource their
work to major IT companies in India. There are
some advantages to outsourcing such as high
manpower costs compared with India and ease
of finding trained staff to carry out work
effectively. Central drug standards control
organizations (CDSCO) has also made it
mandatory for all pharma companies those are
working
in
India
to
establish
a
pharmacovigilance department and submit the
reports time to time. As a result, most of these
pharmaceutical companies outsource their
pharmacovigilance program effectively with
the help of these IT companies. These firms
work for both clinical trials and post marketing
surveillance. Government of India has already
launched the National pharmacovigilance
program of India (PvPI) which encourages
pharmacovigilance reporting from time to time
from different health care organizations.
Pharm.D graduates can be hired for
pharmacovigilance reporting because they
have
good
knowledge
about
pharmacovigilance, clinical and medical
terminologies.
Academia
PCI has already approved PharmD qualification
holders to be eligible for working as lecturers.
Academia is one of the biggest employment
sources for PharmD graduates because more
pharmacy colleges are initiating PharmD based
clinical program.
Medical Writing/Medical Science Liaison /
Medical Advisor
39
Medical writer or medical science liaison or

medical advisor is a health care professional
who works for pharmaceutical, biotechnology,
medical device, and managed care companies.
Currently, its the largest employer for PharmD
graduates. Medical writing or medical liaison
involves producing scientific documents by a
specialized writer. Medical writer works with
physicians, medical scientists and other subject
experts. A medical writer produces documents
that well and unmistakably describe research
results, product usage, and other medical
information. Medical writers also work towards
preparing
documents
for
regulatory
authorities, journals as well as designing
guidelines in the form of content, format and
structure.
IT Sector- Medical Billing, Medical Coding and
Insurance Claim
There is a availability of high number of jobs in
medical billing, medical coding and in
insurance claim. Medical coding experts play a
key role in the medical billing process. Every
visit of the patient receives health care from
doctor office, outpatient clinic or in hospital
facility, the provider must document the
services provided. The medical coder abstracts
the information from the documentation,
assigns the appropriate codes, and creates a
claim to be paid, whether by a commercial
payer or the patient. Health insurance industry
is another unpredicted area that is booming for
Pharm. D graduates. It involves evaluating the
claimed prescriptions and establishing their
actuality for patient bill compensation in a
competent and professional manner. The
demand for health insurance is increasing in
India and the Indian governments also trying to
provide mandatory insurance to its citizens so
in the future, the demand for working in the
health insurance industry will be very high.
Contract Research Organizations (CRO)/
Industry
CRO work for pharmaceutical, biotechnology,
medical device industry to perform research
and developmental work on a contractual
basis. For pharmaceutical companies, CROs
AASP
provide consultation for services such as

development of medications, biologic assay
development, commercialization, preclinical
research, clinical research, clinical trials, and
pharmacovigilance. In pharmaceutical industry
they started to hire PharmD graduates, they
start their career as clinical research
coordinators (CRC) and after 12 years of
experience, promoted to clinical research
associates (CRA).
can be a reasonable alternative. Pharm.D

graduates have various job avenues besides
the traditional ones. The pharmacist should be
cognizant of these opportunities and should be
able to advance their talents in these nonconventional areas.
Corporate Hospitals
Ralph J. Altiere
Many PharmD graduates started working in

corporate hospitals as clinical pharmacists and
prescription analysts. Some of the important
work in corporate hospitals for clinical
pharmacists is checking medication errors in
prescriptions as well in the indent given to
patients during their hospital stay and during
discharge, entering medication in a prescribed
format, updating the drug formulary in the
hospitals, preparing chemo admixtures
whenever required especially for the oncology
or other departments, going for Ward rounds
with health care team and discharging
summary checks for medications, monitoring,
documenting and reporting adverse drug
reactions, answering drug related queries of all
health care professionals as well as the
patients, preparing and submitting monthly
reports to the clinical pharmacologist.

Pharmacists can work as emergency medicine
and therapeutics specialists independently
without the presence of a physician. They can
also work as drug experts, drug interaction
specialists, drug food interaction specialists
and nutritionists for patients and the health
care industry. Pharmacists can open their own

and
provide
pharmaceutical care like blood glucose
checkup for diabetes patients, blood pressure

Pharmacies in India are facing many issues. In
clinical research industry, a medical graduate
might be too expensive and Pharm.D graduates
FIP Education A Global Resource for

Transforming Pharmacy Education
The International Pharmaceutical Federation

(FIP) established a third strategic objective in
its Vision 2020 to transform pharmacy and
pharmaceutical sciences education worldwide.
The focus is on working with partner
organizations around the world to enhance
pharmacy education to support workforce and
community needs. To achieve this objective,
FIP formed FIP Education (FIPEd) to consolidate
and lead education efforts within FIP. The
importance of this endeavor is based in the
recognition that the future of pharmacy lies in
the modernization of pharmacy education
globally to produce pharmacists that can meet
societal needs locally. The purpose is to
improve peoples lives through better health
care provided by pharmacists. To this end,
FIPEd comprises units within FIP that focus on
education Academic Pharmacy Section
(AcPS), Education Development Team (EDT),
UNESCO UNITWIN Programme on Global
Pharmacy Education Development and the
Academic Institutional Membership (AIM) that
is most closely related to the AASP Deans
Forum. AIM is unique in that it organizes a
global Deans Forum every year at the FIP
Annual Congress. The Deans Forum provides
opportunities for deans to advance pharmacy
education locally, regionally and globally by
presenting topics recommended by the deans
of member schools and provides opportunities
40
for deans to network and form collaborations

and partnerships. The importance and value of
regional organizations such as AASP is that
they are incubators of innovation in pharmacy
education but these innovations need to be
brought to the world stage by participation in
FIPEd AIM and AcPS so all can learn from your
advances in education precisely what FIPEd is
designed to achieve.
What is emerging
worldwide in pharmacy education is the desire
to educate more clinically and patient care
oriented graduates and practitioners. The
methods to achieve this goal vary by country
and region some have embraced PharmD
programs, others have achieved this goal
through BS/BPharm and MS programs
combined with post-graduate training and a
growing number of programs are moving
towards specialization education. To provide
an opportunity for the global pharmaceutical
community to create a global vision for these
trends in the transformation of pharmacy
education, FIP is hosting the inaugural Global
Conference on Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical
Sciences Education on 7 and 8 November 2016
in Nanjing, China. Workshops will provide
ample opportunity for attendees to network,
learn from each other and develop common
vision and goals for advancing pharmacy
education. We invite you to join us at FIP and
the Global Conference.
Core Curriculum of Pharm.D. Education in

Thailand
Rungpetch Sakulbumrungsil
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences,
Chulalongkorn University
The first 6-year Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.)
curriculum in Thailand wasoffered by the
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Naresuan
University in 1993. The pharmacy council has
later decreed to endorse only Pharm.D. as an
entry level to pharmacy profession starting in
2014. It was thus since 2009 when all schools
of pharmacy offeredonly Pharm.D program.
41
AASP
Now Thailand has 19 schools of Pharmacy, 14

publics and 5 privates, of which curriculum
needs to comply with quality assurance
requirements of the Ministry of Education and
the Pharmacy Council. The Pharmacy Council
requires that Pharm.D. curriculum needs
minimum of 220 credits hours.To qualify for
graduation, each pharmacy student has to
accumulate at least 2,000 hours of experiential
learning comprising 400 hours of introductory
and 1,600 hours of advanced practices. The
Pharm.D. curriculum in Thailand offers 2 major
tracks,
pharmaceutical
care
and
pharmaceutical
sciences
or
industrial
pharmacy. These 2 tracks provide the same
pharmacy knowledge foundation and are
offered as either separate curricular or elective
majors. Pharmacy graduates from both tracks
are to take pharmacist licensure examination.
The licensure examination comprises 2 parts,
knowledge and skills assessments. Knowledge
is evaluated thru multiple choice questions,
while selected skills are tested using OSPE
(Objective Structured Pharmacy Examination).
The competencies for pharmacist licensure
examination encompass 7 dimensions,
including moral and ethics, teamwork and
system management, information technology
and communication, production and quality
assurance of pharmaceutical and herbal
products,
product
selection
and
extemporaneous preparation, pharmaceutical
care, as well as health care system. Thailand
pharmacy education is still in its transition
stage. Starting from 2017, the Pharmacy
Council requires 2 examinations before
pharmacist license will be granted. The4th
year students of both tracks will take the same
examination paper which is a prerequisite for
advanced experiential learning.After fulfilling
all Pharm.D. curriculum requirements, students
have to take the second examinationon either
pharmaceutical
care
or
industrial
pharmacyaccording to each students elective
program.
The new 2015 Pharmacy
Professional Act requires that pharmacists
need to renew their professional license every
5 years.

The conventional passive lecture in delivering

pharmacy education has often been criticized
as an ineffective way with significant
limitations, often leading to a passive learning
experience for students. The passive didactic
lectures have been proven to be ineffective
compared to active learning but the former still
prevails as a common means of classroom
instruction in pharmacy education until today.
There is a great need to innovate the teaching
and learning methods in delivering pharmacy
education to respond to learning deficits and
also addressing current needs, problems,
challenges, questions and opportunities facing
the pharmacy profession. There should be a
paradigm shift from teacher-centered mastery
learning to student-centered smart learning.
Lecturers should find methods to engage
students to augment the delivery of factual
information and help students move from
being passive recipients to active participants
in a conducive environment in classrooms,
laboratories, fields or clinics to develop their
intellectual capabilities. There are several
methods being employed to transform the
teaching and learning experiences, designed to
improve academic performance and producing
graduates with improved communication skills,
and enhanced problem-solving and criticalthinking abilities. Such innovative teaching and
learning methods involve team-based,
problem-based,
student-centered
and
computer-aided learnings through teaching
and
learning
pharmaceutical
sciences,
pharmacy practice and clinical pharmacy as
integrated courses, integrated professional
learning, significant teacher-student, studentstudent and practitioner-patient interactions.
Most pharmacy schools are now having the

generation Z (Gen Z), born between 19952010, as students. Gen Z is considered as true
digital native that use technology as a way of
life. They are tech-savvy and entrepreneurial.
As learners, they are kinesthetic, experiential,
hands-on, able to multi-task, independent,
solve problem and team players. Thus, the
traditional learning environments in the
pharmacy education have to be transformed
from verbal to visual, from sit and listen to try
and see, from curriculum centered to learner
centric. The role of the lecturer has to be
changed from the traditional lecturer model to
a facilitator of learning. The focus has to be
shifted from content (what) to process (how)
and from closed book exams to an open book
world. These transformations are necessary to
ensure active, effectively engaging, flexible and
personalized learning environments. Gen Z is
capable to learn through multiple learning
channels and interested in interactive
multimedia. Thus, interactive games, complex
graphics, blended learning, flipped classroom,
massive open online courses (MOOC),
collaborative projects, advance organizers,
challenges, and anything that they can try and
see are now relevant in the pharmacy
education. Integration of continuous grading,
instant feedback, clear goals, rewards,
challenges and positive reinforcement are
appropriate assessment methods for Gen Z
learners.

Philippines

Pharmacy practice and its associated practice
disciplines have changed a lot. Pharmacy is a
very dynamic profession working to solve the
challenges created by new drugs and new
42
modes of therapy and advancing technology.

The use of medicines passes through a
pathway where anything can happen along the
way that the workforce in the pharmacy must
not only be knowledgeable but must also be
skilled or competent to do the job.
For quite a time the frontliners in a Pharmacy
in the Philippines are of varied educational
background and training that most of them as
revealed in a study do not even have a clear
understanding of what medicines are, the
harm that they could cause on patients do not
use them properly and responsibly., Pharmacy
operations is very highly commercialized and
medicines highly commoditized.
In the past years, Pharmacy Leaders worked on
changing the landscape of pharmacy practice
in the country, strategically working on action
plan that will bring us to our vision
Pharmacists are indispensible provider of
medicines and medication expertise, guided
with the branding
Pharmacists are for
better health outcomes. For this to happen,
we need not only competent Pharmacists but
competent pharmacy support workforce too.
In 20 minutes, the presentation will share how
the development the Philippines Pharmacy
Services NC III Program happened, how the
team faced the challenges and convinced the
government to make this Certification Program
a
requirement
for
Licensing
Drug
Establishments and Drug Outlets of the
country.
Piloting a residency program on clinical
pharmacy at Haiphong University of
Medicinde and Pharmacy, Vietnam
Nguyen Van Hung
Vice-Rector and Dean, School of Pharmacy,
Haiphong University of Medicine and Pharmacy
Vietnam applies the core curriculum issued by
the Ministry of Education and Training in 2012
with at least 233 credits (in 5 academic years)
for pharmacy education in the whole country.
The core curriculum includes 58 credits for
basic
sciences
(mathematics,
physics,
chemistry, biology, languages, philosophy);
43
AASP
46 credits for medical and pharmaceutical

sciences
(anatomy
and
physiology,
microbiology, physiopathology, medicinal
plants,
pharmaceutical
and
analytical
chemistry, pharmacology); 56 credits for
professional areas addressing 5 majors
(pharmaceutics,
pharmacognosy,
quality
control/assurance, clinical pharmacy, and
pharmacy management and economic). 58
credits are for optional subjects such as drug
discovery,
bio-molecular
sciences
and
pharmacy practice. Students may be required
to complete a thesis for graduation or a final
examination with 15 credits in the final year
(5th year). Few credits allocated for rotation in
hospitals and community pharmacies leading
to the lack of competence of graduate
pharmacists in pharmacy practice. Master and
PhD degree would be choices for those who
want to be promoted in their pharmacy
profession.
There is no specific requirement for general
pharmacy practice in the hospitals and
community pharmacies. Currently, there is no
internship or residency program in pharmacy.
Applying PharmD education as some other
Asean Countries (Thailand, Singapore) would
be a long way for us to try since it affects to the
degree level which need recognized by the
Government. Though clinical pharmacy is
officially regulated by Vietnam Ministry of
Health, as one of responsibilities of hospital
pharmacy, there are challenges for hospital
pharmacists to work with physicians in rational
use of medicines. Responding to the great
need of the country on the participation of
pharmacists in patient care for safety
medication and better treatment outcomes,
we planned to develop a residency pharmacy
program merging with current master
program based on experiences from different
countries also the experiences from residency
program in medicine. We look forward to
receiving cooperation and support from
colleagues around Asia and Pacific Region.

student exchange through a roundtable series.
Steps to development and implementation
include alignment with mission and strategic
plan of schools, existing internal international
training opportunities, partnership with few
countries versus any other potential country,
policies and resources of university, curricular
and content development, selection criteria
process, expected roles and responsibilities,
and assessment and evaluation of program.
Creation of learning outcomes and activities
includes pre-experience, experience, and postexperience activities. Participants will have an
