The PHARMINE ("Pharmacy Education in Europe") project studied the organisation of pharmacy education, practice and legislation in the European Union (EU) with the objectives of evaluating to what degree harmonisation had taken place with the EU, and producing documents on each individual EU member state. Part of this work was in the form of a survey of pharmacy education, practice, and legislation in the various member states. We will publish the individual member state surveys as reference documents. This paper presents the results of the PHARMINE survey on pharmacy education, training, and practice in the Czech Republic. Czech community pharmacies sell and provide advice on Rx and Over-the-counter (OTC) medicines; they also provide diagnostic services (e.g., blood pressure measurement). Pharmacists ( in Czech) study for five years and graduate with a (Mgr., equivalent to M.Pharm.) degree. The Mgr. diploma is the only requirement for registration as a pharmacist. Pharmacists can own and manage community pharmacies, or work as responsible pharmacists in pharmacies. All practising pharmacists must be registered with the Czech Chamber of Pharmacists. The ownership of a community pharmacy is not restricted to members of the pharmacy profession; the majority of pharmacies are organised into various pharmacy chains. There are two universities providing higher education in pharmacy in the Czech Republic: the Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove, Charles University, which was established in 1969, and the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno, which was established in 1991. The pharmacy curriculum is organized as a seamless, fully integrated, five-year master degree course. There is a six-month traineeship supervised by the university, which usually takes place during the fifth year. Thus, the pharmacy curriculum is organised in accordance with the EU directive on sectoral professions that lays down the imperatives for pharmacy education, training, and practice in the various member states of the EU. Currently, no specialisation courses are available at the university level. Specialisation is organised in the form of postgraduate, continuing professional development by the Czech Chamber of Pharmacists, and delivered by the Institute of Postgraduate Education for Health Professions.
PHARMINE（“欧洲药学教育”）项目研究了欧盟（EU）药学教育、实践和立法的组织情况，目的是评估与欧盟的协调程度，并为每个欧盟成员国编写相关文件。这项工作的一部分是以对各成员国药学教育、实践和立法的调查形式进行的。我们将把各成员国的调查作为参考文件发布。本文介绍了PHARMINE对捷克共和国药学教育、培训和实践的调查结果。捷克社区药房销售处方药和非处方药（OTC）并提供相关建议；它们还提供诊断服务（如测量血压）。药剂师（捷克语）学习五年，毕业时获得（Mgr.，相当于药学硕士）学位。Mgr.文凭是注册药剂师的唯一要求。药剂师可以拥有并管理社区药房，或在药房担任责任药剂师。所有执业药剂师必须在捷克药剂师协会注册。社区药房的所有权不限于药学专业人员；大多数药房组成了各种药房连锁。捷克有两所大学提供药学高等教育：1969年成立的布拉格查理大学赫拉德茨克拉洛韦药学院，以及1991年成立的布尔诺兽医与药学大学药学院。药学课程设置为一个无缝衔接、完全整合的五年制硕士学位课程。大学会安排为期六个月的实习，通常在第五年进行。因此，药学课程的设置符合欧盟关于行业职业的指令，该指令规定了欧盟各成员国药学教育、培训和实践的要求。目前，大学层面没有专门化课程。专门化以研究生阶段的形式进行，由捷克药剂师协会开展持续专业发展，并由卫生专业人员研究生教育学院提供。
