Abstract
There is growing interest in competency-based education (CBE) in health professions education, including pharmacy. This paradigm focuses on developing in graduates the clinical competencies that best meet the needs of their constituents. The developed countries have been pioneers in adopting competency-based pharmacy education (CBPE). Several pharmacy competency frameworks have been developed in these countries to support construction of CBE curricula, accreditation criteria of pharmacy programs, and professional pharmacy registration/licensure. The adoption of CBE can assist developing countries in tailoring pharmacy education to meet societal needs. The transformation of traditional pharmacy education into CBPE offers several advantages but is also associated with substantial implementation challenges. Proper design and implementation of the curriculum, efficient use of resources, and wise investment in faculty development are important means of meeting these challenges.
