The study of history of pharmacy is deserving of consideration as a review of past, so that we may understand present, and thus be enabled to plan intelligently for future.1 However, inclusion of this syllabus has suffered a crushing blow in global context. For example, in US, Buerki (1981) conducted a far-reaching survey and reported that almost 40% of pharmacy schools offered either required or elective course work in history of pharmacy, 32% offered orientation courses that contained some historical component, and 29% offered no such course work. Notably, there was a significant decline in number of pharmacy schools offering this course. Buerki's findings may have prompted American Council on Pharmaceutical Education to adopt a strong policy statement on teaching history and social studies of pharmacy later that same year.2 Even in past, Edward Kremers remarked parenthetically in an 1892 address before American Public Health Association (APHA) Section on Pharmaceutical Education and Legislation that, the professional student should at least have a fair knowledge of this history of his profession”.3 What is problem? In UAE, little attention is given to historical aspects of pharmacy as a standalone course in pharmacy curriculum.4-7 In other words, until recently, course History of Pharmacy has not been introduced in BPharm or PharmD curricula offered by pharmacy colleges, including Dubai Pharmacy College (DPC) - first pharmacy college in region established in 1992. In recent times, Commission for Academic Accreditation, Ministry for Higher Education and Scientific Research, UAE; specifies in 2011 “Standards for Licensure and Accreditation”, section that institutions must ensure that all undergraduate students complete equivalent of one or more university level courses in humanities, appropriate to program offerings.8 In compliance, DPC designed a course titled “History of Pharmacy” in domain of Humanities. This course is offered to BPharm students with purpose of acquiring knowledge and critical thinking skills to understand a variety of perspectives and diverse historical experiences resulting in enhancing aspects of competence in terms of: autonomy and responsibility, role in context, and self-development.9
