FIP World List
of Pharmacy Schools

FIP, as the global leader for pharmacy, has taken the initiative to build the “FIP World List of Pharmacy Schools”, which will be the most comprehensive and up-to-date list of pharmacy institutions from around the world. This global list is intended to guide all pharmacy stakeholders, from students to policymakers, in assessing the appropriateness and effectiveness of pharmacy education strategies. The availability, completeness and quality of FIP’s World List of Pharmacy Schools means it will provide a unique source of information for pharmaceutical workforce policies, procedures and plans.

Further background on the FIP World List of Pharmacy Schools:

The FIP World List of Pharmacy Schools is an initiative to monitor pharmaceutical capacity and capability, similar to those of many other global organisations, such as the World Medical Schools List held by the World Medical Association. Given 2021 is the World Health Organization’s Year of Health and Care Workers, the need for our global organisations to demonstrate increased capacity in all health workers is key to ensure our professions are not further diminished but amplified.

FIP is a founder member of the World Health Professions Alliance (WHPA) with doctors, nurses, dentists, and physiotherapists. All WHPA members have been requested to feedback their schools’ status to the WHO as part of pandemic preparedness, and FIP having a list of accredited pharmacy schools will help to identify where schools may be needed and created to ensure long-term pharmaceutical workforce capacity.

The School of Pharmacy was founded in 1952 on the premise of creating a new kind of pharmacology that contributes to clinical medicine, welfare and human health, and so far, the main focus of our education and research has lain in the fields of medical pharmacology and social pharmacology. However, in order to remain in step with recent changes in the social situation such as changes in disease patterns due to low nativity and an aging population and the soaring costs of medical treatment, and in order to meet the increasing need for high-level medical care, the contents and organization of our education and research are being revised. We now primarily aim to nurture pharmacists who can be responsible for general medical care, and to pursue education and research in the fields of reliability and efficiency of medical supplies, environmental protection and the development of new drugs. In the field of medical pharmacology, in addition to our traditional collaboration with the University Hospital, we now also employ clinical practitioners to give lectures on medical pathology and drug treatment. Further, in order to increase the motivation of our students to become medical care workers, they visit and undergo practical training at hospitals and pharmacies already from the first year, and the later years include actual on-the-job training at hospitals and pharmacies.
