Digital Health in Pharmacy: FIP online course for educators and practitioners

Digital health has revolutionized clinical practice, necessitating that pharmacists become adept at leveraging, developing, and benefiting from emerging technologies. Highlighting this need, the 2021 FIP report underscored the importance of integrating digital skills training into pharmacy education through well-designed courses, materials, and hands-on experiences. In response, the Academic Pharmacy Section, alongside the FIP Provision and Partnerships programme and several other FIP groups, initiated a ONEFIP project to overhaul the original digital health in pharmacy online course. This revamped, comprehensive course is specifically designed for educators and practitioners. At this event, we will review the advancements achieved so far, introduce the enhanced digital health in pharmacy course, and explore how this initiative aligns with FIP competency frameworks and recommendations.
