Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to contribute to a Special issue on “Competence Training for Pharmacy” to be published in the online journal pharmacy (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/pharmacy). Although pharmacy is a relatively new journal, it is already indexed by the “Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)”, the core collection of Web of Science.
This Special issue will include contributions from researchers from all over the world dealing with a variety of issues such as:
- The philosophy behind the production and use of competence frameworks
- The production of consensual competence frameworks
- Experience with the use of competence frameworks in pharmacy education and training
- Future developments in competence training for pharmacy students
Contributions can be in the form of reviews or research articles and should be 10–20 pages (A4) long, with 10-20 bibliographic references and several figures (graphs, flow-charts...). They will be reviewed by the editorial board and peer reviewed in the usual fashion. The whole collection will be published in book form.
