FIP AIM - FIP Global Academic Leaders Forum (Open event to academic pharmacy leaders)
Introduction
The Global Academic Leaders Forum (GALF) is FIP AIM’s annual meeting platform designed to strengthen institutional and professional development. This forum brings together academic pharmacy leaders from around the world to engage in discussions on leadership and pharmacy education in the international arena. GALF focuses on addressing current and relevant topics through interactive workshops led by leading experts, tailored to the needs of academic leaders.
The GALF 2023 topic is “Integrating science and practice in competency-based education for better workforce preparedness: a ONE FIP approach to the global health challenges”. It will provide a unique opportunity for pharmacy educators and leaders from all around the world to collaborate, share insights and learn from each other. The programme will include a range of sessions exploring critical topics such as leading and managing a competency-based education transformation, the impact of the pandemic on expected competencies of pharmacists, and potential barriers to competency-based education (CBE) transformation and how they can be overcome.
