Pharmacology and therapeutics education in the EU needs harmonisation and modernisation


The EACPT has supported a European study of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics education which has now just been published in the journal Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics.

Effective teaching in pharmacology and clinical pharmacology and therapeutics (CPT) is necessary to make medical students competent prescribers. However, the current structure, delivery and assessment of CPT education in the European Union (EU) is unknown. 

In this study, the authors evaluated the current structure, delivery and assessment of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics education in the European Union. The authors conclude from a cross-sectional survey among 185 medical schools in 27 countries that pharmacology and therapeutics education in the EU needs harmonisation and modernisation. 

The manuscript is now freely accessible as an abstract and as a full paper through the journal.
