SMART PHARMACIST PROGRAM

INTRODUCTION: In a November 2012 joint meeting, ACPE’s Continuing Pharmacy Education Commission and International Commission agreed that ISP should have a role in promoting, facilitating and supporting the implementation of better national models for lifelong learning of pharmacists – including the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) model – to enhance education, pharmacy practice and patient care in other countries. The SMART Pharmacist Program is a sustainable, evidence-based educational initiative, designed in four streams to foster changes in the pharmacy profession. The Program involves all elements of the CPD model, including application and impact on everyday pharmacy practice. The other three programs are: SMART Leadership Academy, SMART Student Program to build life-long-learning skills for students, and SMART Clinical Pearls to share practice experience in pharmaceutical care topics. Quality of education is assured by appropriate structure, process, and outcomes of learning, all designed in the national context and with strong impact on patient care and the personal motivation of pharmacists. The Program has been introduced in 13 countries so far, and activities in 2020 were mostly conducted online:

• QATAR SMART Pharmacist Program: “Pharmacists Symposium” – presenting the results, Doha, Qatar, February 2020. • QATAR SMART Pharmacist Program: “Asthma Module” – Train the Trainer, Doha, Qatar, February 2020 (photographs included below).
