Introduction Package for the ‘FIP Academic Institu tional Membership’
The FIP Academic Institutional Membership, or FIP AIM, is a
distinctive FIP Membership that allows Faculties and Schools
of Pharmacy to become inter-connected on a global platform
of discussion, leadership and shared challenges and successes.
The FIP AIM focuses on the evolution of Faculties and Schools
of Pharmacy – fostered by Faculty Deans and decision makers
– alongside the ongoing changes in pharmacy practice,
science, research and their respective funding.
All Faculties and Schools of Pharmacy from around the world
are welcome to apply for a FIP AIM. These Academic Institutes
are represented by their Deans, Vice Deans and other Decision
Makers within Membership activities such as online discus-
sion platforms and our annual Global Dean’s Forum at the FIP
Congress.

The FIP AIM Advisory Board
Dear Colleagues in Academics,
There are many of us within FIP who have, like you, been both
challenged and rewarded by the task of leading an Academic
Institution for Pharmacy and/or the Pharmaceutical Sciences.
The Deans, Vice Deans and Department/Division Heads of such
establishments inherently carry with them the responsibility
to serve their students, faculty and staff as well as the
professional/ scientific communities by assuring efficient
functioning of the Institutions they lead.
Recognizing the magnitude of these responsibilities and the
value of professional support and sounding boards, FIP has
created the FIP Academic Institutional Membership, a Mem-
bership which brings together Leaders and Decision Makers
from Faculties and Schools of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical
Sciences to an international platform where mutually
beneficial discussions, networking, awareness and growth can
occur.
This new Membership will also complement the ongoing work
of the FIP Pharmacy Education Taskforce, opening the doors to
insights on higher level Faculty functioning – such as partner-
ships, faculty building and multidisciplinary-resource sharing,
in turn paving the way to the topmost goal of quality pharmacy
education.
It is our pleasure to invite you, on behalf of your Faculty/School
of Pharmacy and/or Pharmaceutical Sciences to join our FIP
Academic Institutional Membership – your platform for local
Faculty development through global Faculty interaction.
Sincerely,
FIP President Kamal K. Midha and the FIP AIM Advisory Board
“The FIP AIM network proposal is excellent; I think
starting with Deans, we can then build other consortia
such as those interested in admissions, student fitness
to practice etc.” – Professor Anthony W. Smith, Dean of the
School of Pharmacy, London, United Kingdom
“I am pleased to contribute to the development of this
initiative as the potential benefits to member institutions
are immense.” – Professor Mahama Duwiejua, Dean of the
Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kwame
Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana
“I think having your Faculty/School of Pharmacy involved
with this is a great idea that could bring insight and
opportunities not found elsewhere.” – Professor Wayne
Hindmarsh, Dean Emeritus of the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy,
Toronto, Canada
“I really look forward in working with FIP to advance this
valuable initiative” – Professor Iqbal Ramzan, Dean of the
Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Sydney and immediate
past President of the Asian Association of Schools of Pharmacy

PHARMACY EDUCATION TASKFORCE.
WHOUNESCOFIPPharmacyEducationTaskforceRecognising the need to support and strengthen pharmacy
educationworldwide,inNovember2007,FIP,alongwiththeWorld
HealthOrganization(WHO)andUnitedNationsEducational,
ScientificandCulturalOrganization(UNESCO),formedthe
Pharmacy Education Taskforce. The Taskforce is a coordinating
body of organisations, agencies, institutions, and individuals with
the shared goal of catalysing actions to develop pharmacy
education.
The purpose of the Pharmacy Education Taskforce is to oversee
the implementation of the 2008–2010 Pharmacy Education Action
Plan, identify resources and serve as a connection for stake-
holders. The Action Plan is an initiative to develop evidence-based
guidance and frameworks that will facilitate the development of
pharmacy education. The plan aims to enable the sustainability of
a pharmacy workforce, advocating for needs-based pharmacy
educationdevelopment.Needs-basededucationmeansthat
education is determined locally by evaluating the services
required, the competencies needed to provide such services and
using that to plan education which would support the develop-
ment of such competencies.
The objectives of the Taskforce are to:
• Definepharmacyservicecompetenciesacrossallsettingsand
levels of the health system.
• Seteducationalobjectivesalignedwithcompetenciesand
develop a framework that considers the entire pharmacy
edu cation continuum from undergraduate education through
to continuing professional development at the post-graduate
level.
• Developaglobalframeworkforqualityassuranceandthe
development of accreditation systems (e.g. development of
standards for educational institutions and programs) in
pharmacy education.
• Gatherandanalysedataonacademic/facultyworkforce,and

The Pharmacy Education Taskforce held the 4th Annual Pharmacy
Education Consultation on 6th September 2009, at the 69th FIP
Congress in Istanbul. More than 120 representatives and leaders
of global, regional and national pharmacy education, pharmacy
students and young pharmacists, professional and scientific
bodies and FIP gathered for the session. The consultation was
open to all FIP congress participants as a forum on global issues
ineducation,withafocusontheWHOUNESCOFIPPharmacy
Education Taskforce.
The 5th Annual Pharmacy Education Consultation will take place
Tuesday 31 August 2010, 09:00 – 12:00 at FIP Congress 2010 in
Istanbul. This session will be an open forum on global issues in
Education, with a focus on reviewing the achievements and the
future of the Pharmacy Education Taskforce. The outcomes of the
action plan will be reported and participants will be invited to
provide input into the future focus on Pharmacy Education within
FIP.
Participants interested in the Deans’ Institutional Membership
are invited to attend this event. They may also join the Taskforce’s
Community of Practice, an online global platform for pharmacy
education with more than 400 members from 85 countries. The
Community of Practice contains a library of resources and tools
and interactive features for posting discussions, announcements,
and events related to pharmacy education, human resources for
health and global health.

Academic Pharmacy SectionThe FIP Academic Pharmacy Section promotes pharmacy
education worldwide and contributes to the development of
fruitful activities on teaching methodology, student and faculty
exchange programs, and policy development on education and
training of pharmacists and pharmacy support staff.
TheAcademicSectionwasfoundedin1972.Sincethenallthe
Presidents have focused on facilitating the exchange of ideas
and experience of pedagogic and scientific issues concerned
with the teaching of pharmacy and have encouraged members
to develop creative concepts and projects in relation to
pharmacy education in general.
Teaching, education and the promotion of life long learning are
the cornerstones of future pharmacy - today’s students are the
leaders in pharmacy of tomorrow. That means that all parties
involved in pharmacy education have a great responsibility in
developing new approaches and visions with respect to
teaching future health professionals. Academic pharmacy has
to take a strong position in anticipating the important changes
in the world and developing strategies to improve the teaching
of pharmacy to benefit the health of all. One of the most
important aspects is the development of knowledge and
expertise in the academic workforce.
The Academic section of FIP will continue to provide an
interactive platform for the exchange and debate on pharmacy
education. The section will also strengthen collaboration with
other FIP Sections and special interest groups in order to
develop cross-links and joint projects.
As a member of the Academic Institutional Membership
you will be automatically a member of the Academic
Pharmacy Section.
