Abstract

© 2020, Advanced Scientific Research. All rights reserved. In the last decade, against the background of intensive development of the world pharmaceutical industry, a new agenda for the development of professional education has been formed-based primarily on the understanding of the need to modernize the main components of the University education system and strengthen the mechanisms for transmitting practical experience of pharmaceutical production to students as a human resource in the industry. In the conditions of dynamic development and transition to international standards for the organization of the Russian pharmaceutical industry, the need to harmonize the content of educational programs of specialized universities that provide training for pharmaceutical personnel and the requirements of the modern labor market for the set of competencies of pharmacists is also being updated. These tasks determine the need to strengthen the interaction of educational organizations with pharmaceutical companies and the introduction of new disciplines that reflect current and future trends in the development of the industry. The results of studying the actual request of Russian pharmaceutical employers regarding the repertoire of professional competencies of pharmacists presented in this article reflect the synchronization of understanding of trends in the development of the industry and educational trajectories of training the personnel reserve.
