Abstract

Introduction: The Academic Pharmacy Section (AcPS) of the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) celebrates 50 years of its establishment in 2022. In the last decade, the Section had significant growth in membership and strategic planning development.

Description: The AcPS challenges in in the past and present times, as well as possible future directions, are described based on the reflections of four AcPS past presidents. They responded to semi-structured interviews from January to March 2022.

Evaluation: The collected data were analysed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The reflections and perceived challenges in the history of the AcPS, as well as future plans about the pharmaceutical workforce, capacity building, educational systems, and modern curricula, were summarised.

Conclusion: The future direction of the FIP AcPS suggests a focus on collaboration, faculty development and strong and engaged membership.
