Abstract

Background: Pharmacy education is essential to nurture a pharmaceutical workforce able to deliver optimum pharmaceutical care. Owing to recent challenges and advances, the scope of the pharmacy profession has changed, and the pharmacist’s role has expanded. Therefore, pharmacy education should be reshaped. The International Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation (IPSF) believes that the collaboration of pharmacy students with academics is fundamental to tackling challenges in education and provides development opportunities for students to improve their competencies to fit their future roles. Objective: This report aims to discuss the collaborations with international health organisations and entities concerned with education to better understand their impact on pharmacy education and the workforce. Hence, IPSF can re-set its strategic goals for the upcoming mandates. Archival documents were reviewed, and the main findings are described here. Conclusion: Impactful collaborations have been found. However, it inspires IPSF to strengthen their relations with the International Pharmaceutical Federation Academic Pharmacy Section (FIP AcPS) to improve their pharmacy education initiatives.
