黎巴嫩的药房已经教授了多年,该行业知道前几年的黄金时代。然而,随着数百名药剂师的毕业,没有事先的劳动力计划,非专业药剂师的供过于求导致与市场需求不匹配。严重的社会经济和卫生危机进一步加剧了这种情况,数百名药剂师离开了这个国家。一群药学专家共同提出了应对此类挑战的战略解决方案,为教育和劳动力提出明确的战略,以教育和专业价值观为基础,以六个主要支柱为基础:(1)实施国家能力框架(包括核心和专业能力框架),作为执照认证的基础(学术讨论会);(2)实施国家药学项目认证,包括与能力采用和评估相关的标准,课程,教学方法,研究与创新,教师和教师技能,和体验式培训;(3)组织学生和早期药师培训;(4)优化继续教育,实施持续专业发展,促进工作药剂师的创新和专业化;(5)制定和实施基于药学智能的药学劳动力战略,就业市场,和学术能力;(6)与各部委和议会委员会合作,为上述支柱制定和实施法律框架。在有关当局的主持下,主要是黎巴嫩药剂师令和教育和高等教育部,应讨论和实施建议的策略,以使药学行业拥有更美好的未来。
Pharmacy in Lebanon has been taught for years, and the profession has known the golden ages in previous years. However, with the recent graduation of hundreds of pharmacists, without prior workforce planning, the oversupply of non-specialized pharmacists caused a mismatch with the needs of the market. The context of severe socioeconomic and sanitary crises has further exacerbated the situation, with hundreds of pharmacists leaving the country. A group of pharmacy experts joined to suggest strategic solutions to face such challenges, suggesting a clear
strategy for education and the workforce, overarched by educational and professional values and based on six main pillars: (1) implement a national competency framework (including the core and specialized competency frameworks) to be used as a basis for licensure (colloquium); (2) implement a national pharmacy program accreditation, encompassing standards related to competencies adoption and assessment, curricula, teaching methods, research and innovation, instructors\' and preceptors\' skills, and experiential training; (3) organize training for students and early-career pharmacists; (4) optimize continuing education and implement continuous professional development, fostering innovation and specialization among working pharmacists; (5) develop and implement a pharmacy workforce
strategy based on pharmacy intelligence, job market, and academic capacities; (6) develop and implement a legal framework for the above-mentioned pillars in collaboration with ministries and parliamentary commissions. Under the auspices of the relevant authorities, mainly the Order of Pharmacists of Lebanon and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, the suggested
strategy should be discussed and implemented for a better future for the pharmacy profession.
