Introduction to accreditation in pharmacy education in Türkiye: Association for evaluation and accreditation of pharmacy education programs

Résumé fourni par la source

In Türkiye, the evolution of pharmacy education dates back to the Ottoman Empire, and it has progressed through various institutional reforms and educational models. From its inception in military medical schools to the establishment of dedicated faculties of pharmacy in the 1960s, the trajectory of pharmacy education has reflected a commitment to adapting to global standards while meeting local healthcare needs. Accreditation of pharmacy education programs in Türkiye plays a pivotal role in ensuring quality and excellence. Led by the Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Pharmacy Education Programs in Türkiye [AACPET (Eczacılık Eğitimi Programlarını Değerlendirme ve Akreditasyon Derneği, ECZAKDER)], this process involves rigorous self-assessment, on-site evaluations, and periodic interim assessments. Accreditation not only validates adherence to national standards but also encourages continuous improvement. Through advocacy efforts and initiatives like the National Pharmacy Education Congress, ECZAKDER promotes the benefits of accreditation and fosters educational excellence and professional competence. This commitment underscores Türkiye's dedication to training pharmacy graduates that are proficient, ethically grounded, and equipped to address contemporary healthcare challenges.
