Teaching in clinical pharmacy should enable future pharmacists to optimize drug therapy for patients. For this purpose, inter alia, patient-oriented teaching formats should be employed. Using a structured literature search and an ad hoc survey among all 22 German pharmacy universities (response rate 86%, 19/22), the range of patient-oriented teaching formats in clinical pharmacy was assessed.At a minimum, the required case-based, theoretical patient-oriented teaching and learning in accordance with the education standard 6 of the Clinical Pharmacy Section of the German Pharmaceutical Society (DPhG) is implemented among almost all sites (18/19). Six out of 19 educational sites offer four or more patient-oriented teaching formats. Furthermore, the formats bedside teaching (12/19) and interprofessional teaching (10/19) are frequently practiced (mostly optional). Bedside teaching is often provided on a voluntary basis or through teaching assignments by clinical pharmacists. The time available for patient-oriented teaching is clearly limited due to the very restricted personnel resources. The overall view shows that patient-oriented teaching in clinical pharmacy is practiced very heterogeneously. This applies to the type of courses offered, the temporal scope, and the proportion of compulsory courses. The amendment of university pharmacist education should provide significantly more comprehensive and mandatory patient-oriented teaching formats in the subject of clinical pharmacy. This also requires an adequate supply of clinically competent teaching staff.</p>","PeriodicalId":9562,"journal":{"name":"Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz","volume":" ","pages":"495-502"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12075349/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143669008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digital learning methods generally include fully or partially digitized learning elements such as lecture recordings, open learning materials, or e‑portfolios. Fully or partially digitized learning formats include game-based learning, the inverted classroom, mobile learning, the use of social media, online peer and collaborative learning, and adaptive learning. Digitized realities are created in the context of simulation-based learning and in augmented and virtual reality. Online-based event formats and online degree programs are characterized by an almost exclusive proportion of internet-based learning phases.The extent to which digital learning methods are used in pharmacy courses in Germany is explained in this article using selected practical examples. The selected examples include the creation of an audio podcast to assess the performance of a clinical chemistry internship as a form of digital learning element, the use of a digital analysis tool to carry out medication analyses as an example of mobile learning, a blended learning concept to teach the basics of clinical pharmacy, an online concept of virtual bedside teaching, and a game-like simulation for dispensing medicines.

New technologies, scientific progress, and global challenges have an important influence on the content of pharmacist education, which is taken on board at very different speeds.
