Details
This session builds on the work of the ASCEPT Education Forum core concepts group and International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology Education Section (IUPHAR-Ed) Core Concepts of Pharmacology (CCP) project. It will begin with an update on the progress and plans for this global project. Participants will then work in groups to explore two core concepts from White et al., BJP 2023, using the definitions and sub-concepts from Guilding et al., BJP 2024. The groups will produce draft proficiency statements for a range of health professions and science programs for each concept. Deliverables from this session will include updates to IUPHAR Education Section as part of the ongoing Core Concepts of Pharmacology project, and a manuscript for publication.
Objectives:
● Advocate for the adoption of concept-based curricula in pharmacology education.
● Propose proficiency levels for health professions and science graduates for specific core concepts.
● Contribute to the creation of globally accessible educator resources.
● Elevate awareness about the IUPHAR-Ed CCP project.
● Transform the focus on pharmacology core concepts, ensuring their long-term application across different professions.
