[Scientific basics of pharmacist education].

Pharmacy is part of the natural sciences and therefore the teachers in pharmacy provide basic training based on these subjects, although unlike the other natural science subjects, pharmacy is regulated by a standardised federal licensing regulation. As expected, general, organic and physical chemistry; analytics; biology; biochemistry; human biology; mathematics and physics in particular are included as basic subjects. The so-called "Position Paper on the Reorganisation of the Licensing Regulations" also continues to adhere to these areas, whereby instrumental analysis is emphasised more strongly in comparison to classical analysis and pharmaceutical biology places greater emphasis on the fundamentals of immunology and vaccines. Physical chemistry, physics and mathematics, which are particularly important for pharmaceutical technology, are integrated in physical pharmacy.In the position paper, pharmacology and clinical pharmacy are newly included in the basic study programme. The basics of human biology are also integrated into these subjects.The position paper is the basis of the so-called "Round Table". Members of the Round Table are members of all interest groups related to the German pharmacy (see also the article of Winter in this volume).
