Digital health in pharmacy: FIP online course for educators and practitioners (2026)

The integration of digital health into pharmacy practice and education continues to grow in scope and significance. As outlined in the FIP 2021 report on digital health in pharmacy education, developing a workforce with the competencies to engage with and apply digital technologies is an essential priority for the profession.

Building on three previous iterations and grounded in FIP's competency frameworks, this webinar marks the launch of the fourth edition of the FIP Digital Health in Pharmacy online course. Developed through a ONEFIP collaboration led by the Academic Pharmacy Section and supported by the FIP Provision programme, this iteration reflects accumulated learnings, educator feedback, and the evolving digital health landscape.

Join us to explore what's new in the course, how it aligns with FIP's competency frameworks, and why equipping both educators and practitioners with digital health skills remains one of the profession's most critical priorities.
