Canadian faculties (schools) of pharmacy are actively engaged in the advancement and restructuring of their programs in response to the shift in pharmacy to pharmacists having/assuming an advanced practitioner role. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of evidence outlining optimal strategies for accomplishing this task. This review explores several educational changes proposed in the literature to aid in the advancement of pharmacy education such as program admission requirements, critical-thinking assessment and teaching methods, improvement of course content delivery, value of interprofessional education, advancement of practical experiential education, and mentorship strategies. Collectively, implementation of these improvements to pharmacy education will be crucial in determining the direction the profession will take.
加拿大药学院正在积极推进其课程的改革与重组，以应对药学领域向药剂师承担高级从业者角色的转变。不幸的是，目前缺乏明确完成这项任务的最佳策略的证据。本综述探讨了文献中提出的几项教育变革，以助力药学教育的发展，如课程入学要求、批判性思维评估与教学方法、课程内容传授的改进、跨专业教育的价值、实践经验教育的推进以及指导策略。总体而言，实施这些药学教育改进措施对于确定该专业的发展方向至关重要。
