Abstract

The changes in Iran during the past 25 years, in addition to the global evaluation of pharmaceutical practice and sciences (with changes in the patient’s needs and the pharmacist’s place in the primary healthcare system), have prompted a re-evaluation of pharmaceutical education at the Universities of Medical Sciences in Iran. The main intention of this new curriculum includes the creation of pharmaceutical care lectures and seminars, new courses, basic sciences examination, increased research and workshops during pharmacy study and an increased quality of education, research and skills amongst the faculty.
