Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In summary, I have described changes which will occur within continuing education to better prepare the pharmacy school graduate to practice in the 21st century. One level of change deals with an attitude toward lifelong learning which in turn affects the efficiency of continuing education. Although some effort to address this issue currently takes place at the undergraduate level, students in the coming years will witness an increased effort recognizing the importance of lifelong learning with appropriate sensitization and nurturing of self-directed study skills to assist in the lifelong learning process. The second level of change focuses on sophistication within CE and involves a significant change, at least by some providers, in program content which will be more rigorous and tailor-made in the needs of individual practitioners. Through increased efficiency and sophistication, continuing education will be perceived differently in the 21st century. Rather than a current view of continuing education as one of many types of postgraduate education and training, continuing education will be viewed as a learning process which encompasses or includes all other types of postgraduate education and training.
