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.
Qatar's First and Canadian (CCAPP) Accredited school of pharmacy!
Ya hala (Welcome) to the Qatar University College of Pharmacy website. This academic program was initiated to help meet the country's growing demand for medication experts. The College of Pharmacy is the first and only pharmacy degree program in the State of Qatar. It is also the seventh college at Qatar University, following approval from the Board of Regents under the leadership of the Heir Apparent H.H. Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in June 2008.
The College of Pharmacy provides its graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to become competent pharmacists, to meet the health care needs of this society. As a new College and the first of its kind in this country, we are undergoing constant change as we strive to achieve excellence while meeting our mandate. We invite you to visit this web site frequently for updates. Changes of particular significance will be noted in the "What's New" section on the website.
Like our students, we are a young, enthusiastic and progressive new program. We are currently building a strong foundation of full-time, part-time, clinical and adjunct faculty and staff with a strong commitment to program excellence. We are also developing our physical resources to provide the best learning environment possible for our students. We have already begun to establish strong ties with our on-campus partners from other programs, as well as with our off-campus partners from professional practice, government and industry. Together, we will make this College a success -- and a program of which this country will be proud.
