Pharmacy education & training in DDEENNMMAARRKK 22001122 –– VVeerrssiioonn 22 . PHARMINE (PHARMacy education IN Europe) is a project funded by the European Commission (LLL programme, Erasmus). Its aims and objectives are to survey the present state of pharmacy education and training in Europe, and on the basis of this survey, formulate recommendations for new competence curricula for pharmacy education and training in the EU. A model for pharmacy ieducation and training for candidate member states and other countries will be proposed. The opportunities for a quality assurance and accreditation scheme for EU pharmacy courses will be investigated. PHARMINE will take into account two important issues, (i) the EU directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications and, (ii) the Bologna declaration. PHARMINE will focus both on recommendations for core education and training and for activities such as industrial and hospital pharmacy. The PHARMINE consortium consists of universities which are members of the European Association of Faculties of Pharmacy (EAFP) and EU partner associations representing community, hospital of industrial pharmacy, together with the European Pharmacy Students’ Association and other interested bodies. In order to reach the objectives of the PHARMINE project, a work-plan was set up and divided into 7 work- packages (WP). The aims and objectives of PHARMINE WP7 are to: 1. Survey European higher education institutions (HEIs) 2. Produce a databank of pharmacy education and training courses in Europe leading to core pharmacist qualifications and to qualifications required for industrial and hospital pharmacy 3. Survey to what extent the “Bologna” (based on the principles enumerated in the Bologna declaration) and the “Sectoral profession” (based on 2005/36/EC) models for pharmacy education and training are compatible. PHARMINE WP7 will produce several documents including a WP7 survey by country. Such surveys are intended for the use of students and staff interested in mobility and/or contacts with the country in questions as well as educationalists working on pharmacy education and training in Europe.

Denmark is characterised by a low density of community pharmacies per unit population and a high percentage of pharmacy graduates working in various branches of industry. At the present time there is pharmacy education at two universities (University of Copenhagen, KU and University of Southern Denmark, SDU). There are circa 200-225 pharmacy graduates per year. At both HEIs the program for professional pharmacists lasts 5 years including a 6-month traineeship period. KU´s program in the 4th year and a 5th year is composed of 6 months Master thesis work and 6 months of elective studies. Courses are oriented towards industry with, for example, 27% of teaching in chemical sciences and 3% in medical sciences, in the first 4 years. Master and Ph.D. programmes are run in close collaboration with industry. SDU´s program in the 4th and 5th year is branching into two alternative sub-programs, pharmaceutics and clinical pharmacy, aiming at industry or hospital pharmacy, respectively. Each branch comprises a highly integrated combination of course modules and traineeship. For both HEIs, there is a substantial international contribution both to staff (10%) and to the student population (15%, primarily from Sweden and Norway). Incoming:outgoing ERASMUS exchange is 2:1. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The PHARMINE survey of European higher education institutions delivering pharmacy education & training – Denmark v2 2012 6 Introduction.
