Training of pharmaceutical personnel: the fundamentals and current trends

Abstract

The development of biomedical science in recent decades (a personalized approach to the creation of medicines, the emergence of biotechnological and biosimilar drugs, the transition from empirical to directed drug development using drug design methods - information technologies for their modeling and studying their behavior in biological systems) has a significant impact on the formation of the pharmaceutical education system worldwide. New drugs are being developed such as gene therapeutics and biomedical cell products, and biotechnological production of medicines is developing [1-3]. One of the most important tasks of modern pharmaceutical education is the training of highly qualified personnel in the pharmaceutical industry [4-6]. Global trends in pharmaceutical education are aimed at improving educational programs, introducing new disciplines to the educational process in the light of scientific and technological progress in the industry, developing scientific activities, using digital technologies, interacting actively with industry organizations, and internationalizing education. The state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of medical and pharmaceutical education strives to meet these challenges.
