Pharmacists are usually not employed by NGOs, despite millions of dollars worth of medication dispensed annually towards their projects. Read more on the link below.

The expertise and knowledge that pharmacists can offer in disaster-hit regions is often underestimated.

Dear Pharmacy Students,

The FIP Education Initiative (FIPEd) and the International Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation (IPSF) are undertaking an important collaborative global survey, “FIPEd-IPSF Student Learning Experience Questionnaire”, which aims to measure and map global patterns of pharmacy students’ learning experiences and their quality of learning in pharmacy programmes across the world. As students are at the centre of pre-service education, your input is important in the development of educational policies and practices.

Your participation in this survey is vital to provide to better evidence of current pharmacy students’ learning experiences, and will assist in the development of global pharmacy education policy recommendations. It is important for you and your country to be represented.

The “FIPEd-IPSF Student Learning Experience Questionnaire” is an on-line survey in 7 different languages (Arabic, English, French, Japanese, Mandarin-Chinese, Portuguese, and Spanish). Please reply in the following survey link: http://www.codegnet.org.uk/moII_2013/. This questionnaire should take no more than 15 minutes of your time.

If you have any enquiries about this survey, please contact Naoko Arakawa (naoko.arakawa.11@ucl.ac.uk) or Fahmi Fuady(education@ipsf.org).

Remember your voice is the best evidence to inform the future of pharmacy. Tell us your learning experience and become change-makers.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

Sincerely,

Naoko Arakawa

FIP Collaborating Centre
