To provide students with the theoretical and practical knowledge required under the terms of the Ministerial Order of 11 June 2003 stipulating the criteria for the award of professional status as a hospital pharmacist.

This knowledge is covered through five modules :

• Hospital organization and management
• Fight against nosocomial infections
• Pathology and pharmacotherapy
• Hospital technology
• Radiopharmaceuticals

The practical part in a hospital pharmacy must last at least 480 hours (cfr Moniteur, in the annex).

The course (including the placement) lasts one year on a full-time basis. The hospital pharmacy committee may agree to it being spread over two years, if students have professional responsibilities or if their personal situation justifies this: it is subject to the agreement of the President of the School of Pharmacy

The programme of classes and placements has recently been modified to give pharmacists better training in the basic principles of clinical pharmacy as well as the pharmacotherapy of the main pathologies encountered in the hospital environment.

Throughout the year, students take some courses taught by other health professionals (mainly doctors) and undertake placements in collaboration with specialist doctors in different fields, nurses etc.

The teaching methods are varied and include lectures as well as problem-based learning. The majority of the teachers are university staff with practical experience. There is special emphasis on creating a link between theory and practice.

The wide variety of placements which students undertake provide many different learning situations. By the end of the academic year, students will have had the opportunity to learn about all the aspects of a career as a hospital pharmacist.

Students are assessed in different ways : oral and/or written examinations, presentation of work, assessment of their knowledge, skill and attitudes through different placement modules.

Mobility and/or international links

As far as the teaching in clinical pharmacy is concerned, students have the opportunity to take advantage of the teaching by a Professor in clinical pharmacy from the University of Montreal, Quebec, Canada (Louise Mallet), as well as by Belgian clinical pharmacists with experience of clinical pharmacy abroad (England, United States and Canada). This is of special interest as, unlike Belgium, English-speaking countries have long experience of practising and teaching clinical pharmacy.

The programme is open to foreign pharmacists, both from Europe and beyond. Each year, several foreign pharmacists enrol for the Advanced Master: in the last few years, they have come from Greece, Spain, Cameroon, Romania, Lebanon, Benin and Mali.
