E-drug: Undergraduate pharmacotherapy teaching (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Santanu,
The Dept. of Essential Drugs and Medicines Policy has developed a
problem-based
approach to prescribing in the "Guide to Good Prescribng: a practical
manual",
WHO/DAP/94.11, which is now available in 15 languages and also on the
website:
www.who.int/medicines/
A draft Teacher's guide is also available on request.
In addition various universities, most of which are also WHO Collaborating
Centres, run a 2-week course every year on Problem-based Pharmacotherapy
Teaching. These collaborating centres are in:
(1) the University of Groningen in The Netherlands, email:
w.sloof@med.rug.nl
(2) the University of La Plata in Argentina (Spanish course), email:
pmordujo@isis.unlp.edu.ar
(3) the University of Cape Town in South Africa, email:
kbarnes@uctgsh1.uct.ac.za
(4) the University of Newcastle in Australia (course under development),
email:
mddah@mail.newcastle.edu.au
Regards,
Kathy Holloway,
Medical Officer,
Policy Access and Rational Use,
Essential Drugs and Medicines Policy,
