EACPT Summer School on Education 2012
You are invited to attend the first EACPT Summer School on Education to be held in Amsterdam from 23-25 August 2012. This 3-day Summer School is being organized because the curricula in medicine, pharmacy and nursing are changing rapidly on the basis of new insights regarding education. This could be seen as a threat to the current teaching of pharmacology, clinical pharmacology and therapeutics, but it can also be an opportunity to strengthen it. Together with experts in these fields, we want to share the new knowledge and expertise regarding teaching methods and the way students learn with you and your colleagues. You, too, will be an expert when you return to your faculty after these 3 days. Furthermore, together with you and all the participants, we want to create a network of PCPT teachers under the umbrella of the EACPT and its education subcommittee.
