The core concepts of pharmacology education - An international call to action
An international team of pharmacology educators, under the banner of IUPHAR education section, have committed to producing an international consensus list of core concepts of pharmacology.
Core concepts are the big ideas that are important for all graduates to know, even long after they graduate. They are enduring and timeless, and perhaps most importantly, they are useful to solve problems or predict outcomes
The team will work with educators and students around the world to identify and unpack the core concepts of pharmacology education, and then to develop concept inventories that will test attainment of those concepts. So far over 140 educators from 16 countries have responded to the international survey.
In this session, you will
- Learn about core concepts and concept inventories
- Learn about the impact that core concepts and concept inventories have had in other disciplines, and the reasons that an international team have committed to doing this work in pharmacology
- Have your say about which concepts in pharmacology education should be considered core concepts
- Have a (spirited) discussion about the published first list of core concepts from a team of Australian pharmacology educators
- Learn more about how you can contribute to this project
