Pharma, Pharmaceutics and Biotechnology Conference

The education and practice of pharmacy become the critical foundation of the healthcare system, defining pharmacist competency and effects worldwide.

Changing health care environments necessitate analogous changes in educational training leading to better preparation of future pharmacists in terms of the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to deal with continuously emerging health care challenges and tasks.

This session would deliberate on changes that will revise curriculum design, experiential learning, and changes in high technologies that will unveil new models for teaching. From simulations to interprofessional collaboration, this session would give elaboration on exactly how these different models of education will equip the pharmacist with what they need to function in the complexities of health care at present.

Through this session, attendees will also learn what institutions are doing to enhance their pharmacy programs by adding advanced knowledge in therapeutics, patient-centered care, and leadership training. Continuing in this critical area would be the continuing professional development of the practicing pharmacist.

The new healthcare technologies and medication management devices that keep popping up require the pharmacists to continue abridging their knowledge on the latest treatment modes, regulations, and care of patients.

Techniques on how to acquire an effective professional development would be delineated during this part of the session, focusing on lifelong learning and specialties for satisfying different health care settings.

The role of the pharmacy has evolved, especially in chronic disease management, preventative healthcare, and as integral members of healthcare teams.

During this session, participants will be challenged to debate whether education in pharmacy should change to reflect the increased responsibility and prepares future practitioners for success in changing environments.

Whether educator, practitioner, or student, this session should give audiences much-needed insights about the future of education in pharmacy and the practical competencies needed to excel and flourish in that new landscape.

Actionable insights and novel approaches for implementation in both academic and professional settings are likely to influence the instillation of a new generation of pharmacy leaders.
