Promoting relevant education for practice and science is the focus of a new FIP Academic Institutional Membership (AIM) handbook launched by FIP today.

The handbook gives particular attention to future-ready competencies, including digital health and artificial intelligence, interprofessional education, and leadership and innovation — areas of growing relevance for pharmaceutical educators worldwide. Authored by twenty internationally recognised educators, academic administrative experts and leaders from FIP AIM institutions, it brings together experience-informed insights from different regions, with different education models, offering practical examples and strategies to help modernise curricula.

“This handbook represents a significant achievement supporting the FIP education vision of equitable access to transformational change in pharmaceutical education and training that advances pharmaceutical practice and sciences to improve global health and wellbeing,” said FIPEd chair Prof. John Pieper.

“The handbook is intended to serve as an experience-informed resource for academic leaders, reflecting collective expertise from diverse regions and varied pharmacy education models,” said FIP AIM chair Prof. Lilian M. Azzopardi.

The handbook is accessible to FIP AIM members only.
