Competency-based education (CBE) Implementation

A competency-based education (CBE) approach has been advocated in healthcare professions education worldwide. However, the implementation of a CBE approach in pharmacy education poses several challenges, especially in a formal university education setting. This programme aims to support pharmacy leaders and educators implement CBE models/aspects in their local settings with sessions assisting CBE implementation plans and practical examples from successful models.

The programme will be a mix of lectures and workshops, active participation by attendees is expected.
