[Adaptation of pharmacist training: competence-oriented catalogue of learning targets pharmacy and position paper of the profession on the amendment of the license ordinance].

Abstract

The "Competence-oriented Catalogue of Learning Targets Pharmacy-Perspective Paper Pharmacy 2030" (KLP-P) was adopted in 2017. The aim is to introduce or intensify the curriculum and competences during the training of pharmacists that are derived from the perspective paper Pharmacy 2030 and can be introduced without changing the License Ordinance for Pharmacists. The KLP‑P is a modern approach to the competence-orientated training of pharmacists in addition to the teaching of scientific and pharmaceutical knowledge, skills, and abilities. In addition to the drafting of the KLP‑P, the discussion on the amendment of the License Ordinance for Pharmacists was advanced and culminated in the preparation of the position paper of the Round Table in 2022. The Federal Chamber of Pharmacists, university lecturers, specialist pharmacy organizations, and student representatives discussed the issue at the round table. The position paper justified the application to the BMG for an amendment to the License Ordinance for Pharmacists. This article describes the background, structure, and handling of the KLP‑P; summarizes the most important positions of that position paper on the structure of training, training content, and the practical year; and describes the current status of the amendment process.
