Pharmacology has been the science at the heart of many of the advances in healthcare that we now take for granted. Those advances have depended on expertise in all areas from basic pharmacology through translational research to prescribing and monitoring the use of medicines by patients. Each step has required the contribution of individuals with a clear grasp of the fundamental principles of pharmacology and clinical pharmacology supported by knowledge of the actions of specific drugs. The purpose of the IUPHAR Pharmacology Education Project (PEP) is to support the development of this expertise by promoting learning in pharmacology and clinical pharmacology to a worldwide audience.
The specific aims of the project are: (i) to produce a simple, attractive easily searchable resource that will support the education students of the pharmacological and other biomedical sciences, as well as health professions students including medicine, nursing, pharmacy and others, (ii) to make helpful resources available to pharmacology educators who are responsible for delivering education, and (iii) to service the needs of students and teachers in resource-poor countries or where pharmacology is less well developed.
The initial development of the project is led by an international Editorial Board that brings together individuals with demonstrable commitment to pharmacology education. The delivery platform is based in Drupal software that enables the Editors and senior curator to add and edit contributions.
The content of the project is divided into four 'sections': Pharmacology, Clinical pharmacology, Drugs and Therapeutics, Each section is divided into 'modules', each of which will have associated with it between 4 and 10 'topics'. Each topic will have a summary text of up to 500 words that will highlight the most important aspects of this topic. This summary text will have other learning resources attached (e.g. web-links, articles, video and audio files, PowerPoint).
The editors welcome the input of colleagues from around the world as we help learners to make links with existing resources and gradually create new ones. The ultimate intention is to create an easily searchable website that signposts users to openly accessible resources that are relevant to the groups above.
