Abstract
Pharmacology educators play a unique role in higher education, at the intersection of basic biological, and clinical sciences. They teach a on wide range of courses including undergraduate and postgraduate medicine, pharmacy, nursing, dentistry, physiotherapy, osteopathy, veterinary science and biomedical science. Note that this is far from an exhaustive list. Significant changes have taken place in pharmacology education in response to advances in pharmacology, developments in educational approaches and learning technologies, changes in healthcare education delivery, and the massification and internationalization of higher education. These challenge the educator, whose role is increasingly recognized as encompassing teaching, leadership and scholarly activity. The future of pharmacology education depends on our ability to navigate these changes. We argue that there are sets of interrelated knowledge, skill, and attribute competencies that pharmacology educators must master to ultimately enable their students to succeed, discussed in detail in the following sections.
