EACPT Summerschool

As you know this year the EACPT Summerschool will be organised in Amsterdam. The goal of the Summerschool is that participants will obtain:

1. Knowledge about Pharmacology, Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutic (PCPT) teaching and learning in undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education for tomorrow's prescribers.

2. Basic experience in several aspects of PCPT teaching and learning at choice.

3. General knowledge about research in PCPT teaching.

More information can be found on the Summerschool-website (www.eacpt-amsterdam.nl)

We look forward to meeting with many EACPT members in Amsterdam this summer.

With kind regards
Teun

Obituary

EACPT is deeply sorrow to announce that on 29 September 2011 Prof. Dr. med. hab. Alexander Mrozikiewicz passed away at the age of 81. We have lost a distinguished scientist and physician, who was a specialist in internal medicine, pharmacology and clinical pharmacology. He was long-term Head of the Department of Clinical Pharmacology, University of Medical Sciences at Poznan and the founder of the Society of Clinical Pharmacology in Poland. In 2005 he hosted the 7th EACPT Congress in Poznan. Professor Alexander Mrozikiewicz was a great man leaving a good memory in all who knew him in person and the EACPT owes him a great debt of gratitude. We will remember him with honour.

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.
