Navigating the challenges of teaching nanotechnology to pharmacy students in a developing country
Purpose
This opinion paper highlights the importance of embedding nanotechnology education within pharmacy programs, focusing on its potential to equip future pharmacists with the skills necessary to navigate an evolving healthcare landscape.
Description
Nanotechnology and nanomedicine have become pivotal fields in recent years, driving advancements in health promotion, targeted therapies, and innovative nanostructured systems.
Interpretation
Despite its growing relevance, integrating nanotechnology into pharmacy curricula still needs to be improved, particularly in developing regions like Latin America. In the context of Brazil, a significant contributor to nanotechnology-related scientific publications in the region, this integration is especially vital.
Conclusions and implications
By fostering expertise in nanotechnology, pharmacy students can enhance their ability to develop cutting-edge products and deliver high-quality, patient-centered care. This approach not only advances professional competence but also strengthens the role of pharmacists in bridging scientific innovation and public health.
