Abstract
We describe pharmacy training in Ghana with an emphasis on postgraduate clinical pharmacy education in the country. The Ghanaian clinical pharmacy programme was compared with the Robert Gordon University pre-1999 clinical pharmacy course because of the historical links between the two programmes. The course is delivered by distance learning over two years supplemented with one day residential tutorial pro- grammes conducted by practising pharmacists and physicians. The course is open to pharmacy graduates with at least three years work experience. Successful candidates are awarded M.Sc degrees in clinical pharmacy. There are no exit points for intermediate qualifications. Baseline data is being collected to be used to measure the impact of our programme on pharmacy practice. Clinical pharmacy practice can only make a significant impact on health delivery in Ghana if there are enough working clinical pharmacists. Continuous staff development, recruitment and functional links with other schools of pharmacy are priorities in our efforts to keep pace with current trends in pharmacy education.
