E-drug: Undergraduate Pharmacist Education
---------------------------------------------
Dear E-druggers,
At the Fiji School of Medicine I am preparing the existing three year
pharmacist diploma course (with an additional one-year supervised
internship), for progression to a multi-entry/multi-exit four year
degree course (also with an additional one-year internship). Our
target date for commencement of the new course is 2005 when new
laboratories and lecture/seminar facilities will be available here.
We may even have some more academic staff by then! The intention is
that pharmacy technicians will take a two-year diploma and
pharmacists a four year degree followed by a one-year internship.
Transfer between the programmes in either direction for certain
identified students (within some yet to be established criteria)
will be possible.
I have various information from other courses to help me with this
development process and last year purchased some helpful software for
our existing pharmacokinetics and pharmacology courses from the
British Pharmacological Society. I want to ensure as far as is
possible, that the students meet related material in the different
subjects, at the same time, within the overall programme.
Are there any web-sites with your full pharmacy course detailed? Do
any of you post resource material to your web sites? And if so, is it
available to external people? - whilst we have medical science
(anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology) input to our existing
course, we are a pharmacy-specific teaching staff of two and would
welcome sharing your already developed resources!
Thank you,
Murray
