As the pharmacy profession continues to evolve from product oriented to patient centered, pharmacy programs have been transitioning from a traditional pharmacy curriculum to a competency-based education pedagogy. Competency-based education has been developed to instill the required clinical competencies in graduates to better meet the contemporary role of pharmacists in accordance with the latest scientific knowledge and evidence-based practices in an ever-evolving health care landscape. While these ideas have helped shape the new Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) Standards and Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Education (CAPE) Educational Outcome domains, recent publications have indicated that it is integral for these Standards to include public health emergency preparedness and response. Updated Standards and Educational Outcomes must be integrated longitudinally in pharmacy curricula to ensure that graduates will be practice-ready health care professionals. This commentary highlights the strategic use of workforce development of population health based on two perspectives: emergency preparedness and response and digital health.
随着药学专业从以产品为导向向以患者为中心的方向发展，药学课程已经从传统的药学课程向以能力为基础的教育教学法转变。能力本位教育的发展是为了在毕业生中灌输必要的临床能力，以便根据不断发展的医疗保健环境中的最新科学知识和循证实践，更好地满足药剂师的当代角色。虽然这些理念有助于塑造新的药学教育认证委员会 (ACPE) 标准和药学教育促进中心 (CAPE) 教育成果领域，但最近的出版物表明，这些标准必须包括公共卫生应急准备和应对。更新的标准和教育成果必须在药学课程中纵向整合，以确保毕业生成为具备实践能力的医疗保健专业人员。本评论从应急准备和应对以及数字健康两个角度强调了基于人口健康的劳动力发展的战略应用。
