Programme Highlights

This 3.5 day programme is designed to train pharmacists as Educators who are interested in training their colleagues in the Core Ethics Healthcare, Law and Professionalism Programme. 

Pharmacists who complete this course would then form the cadre of trainers who would then train their colleagues in the 1-day Core Module in Healthcare Ethics, Law and Professionalism. The course objectives are aligned to the Core Competencies for Healthcare Professionals in Clinical Ethics crafted by the MOH-appointed National Ethics Capability Committee (NECC) to enhance the capacity of healthcare professionals in clinical ethics. 

This course consists of online learning, and short didactic sessions. The online learning provides the foundation of ethical core values while the didactic teaching hones learners’ understanding of these values through group discussions, scenario analyses, and application of ethical values and principles to issues commonly experienced by pharmacists.

  • Train as an Educator to deliver the Core Ethics Healthcare, Law and Professionalism programme to support the capacity development of pharmacists in healthcare ethics.
