Lifelong learning for community pharmacists is shifting from continuing education (CE) towards continuing professional development (CPD) in some countries. The objectives of this report were to compare lifelong learning frameworks for community pharmacists in different countries, and determine to what extent the concept of CPD has been implemented. A literature search was conducted as well as an Internet search on the web sites of professional pharmacy associations and authorities in 8 countries. The results of this review show that the concept of CPD has been implemented primarily in countries that have a long tradition in lifelong learning, such as Great Britain. However, most countries have opted for the CE approach, eg, France, or for a combination of CE and CPD, eg, New Zealand. This approach combines the controllability by regulatory organizations that CE requires with the advantage of sustained behavior change seen in successful CPD programs.
在一些国家，社区药剂师的终身学习正在从继续教育（CE）转向持续专业发展（CPD）。本报告的目的是比较不同国家社区药剂师的终身学习框架，并确定CPD概念的实施程度。我们进行了文献检索，并在8个国家的专业药学协会和当局网站上进行了互联网搜索。本次综述结果表明，CPD概念主要在终身学习传统悠久的国家得到实施，如英国。然而，大多数国家选择了CE模式，如法国，或CE与CPD相结合的模式，如新西兰。这种模式将CE所需的监管组织可控性与成功的CPD项目中所见的持续行为改变优势结合起来。
