A survey was conducted to measure the implementation of problem-based pharmacotherapy teaching in undergraduate medical curricula in Indonesia. The survey aims at examining the implementation of Guide to Good Prescribing, an internationally accepted teaching model on pharmacotherapy, developed by WHO.
A national survey was done, to identify to what extents the principles of rational use of drugs are taught to pharmacy students. Questionnaires were sent to education managers as well as to students’ organizations in public and private schools of pharmacy in Indonesia. The results indicated that principles of rational use of drugs are taught very less at schools of pharmacy. Moreover, students practically are not exposed to national health program such as malaria, tuberculosis, diarrhea, vitamin A, etc. There are constraints to redesign the curricula, since pharmacy curricula were basically designed with majoring in technology (manufacturing, chemical analysis, quality control, etc.), not in health or public health. Some rooms for incorporation of principles of rational drug use and public health, however, have been identified.
A survey was also being done, to examine the practice of pharmacotherapy teaching in paramedical curricula. In public health facilities, paramedics usually provide treatment of illnesses and prescribe medication, while pharmacotherapy is not, if it is not very little, being taught during their formal training. |
