To describe the increasing number of pharmacy schools in Jordan.
A review for numbers of schools and their curricula was conducted.
To date, there are 18 pharmacy schools in Jordan. PharmD program is offered by two public schools. PhD program is offered by one school; while MSc program is offered by seven schools. Public pharmacy schools have two similar programs in terms of curricula, 'regular' and 'parallel'. The ratio of pharmacists to 1000 population was 2.1 in 2012. Substantial increase in pharmacists' integration is needed in public and private primary care settings.
Number of pharmacy schools and pharmacy graduates in Jordan seems to be 'high'. If the schools are to remain on a track of growth, let the emphasis shift to PharmD expansion.
描述约旦药学院数量的增长情况。
对药学院数量及其课程进行了综述。
截至目前，约旦有18所药学院。两所公立学校提供药学博士（PharmD）项目。一所学校提供博士项目；七所学校提供硕士项目。公立药学院在课程方面有两个类似项目，即“常规”项目和“平行”项目。2012年，药剂师与每1000人口的比例为2.1。在公立和私立初级保健机构中，药剂师的整合需要大幅增加。
约旦药学院和药学毕业生的数量似乎“很多”。如果这些学院要保持增长态势，应将重点转向药学博士项目的扩展。
