Abstract
The article reviews the specifics of teaching pharmaceutical chemistry to future pharmacists in domestic institutions of higher medical (pharmaceutical) education from the standpoint of scientific and pedagogical discourse. The review is based on the analysis of the leading groups of sources and work experience of the Department of Drug Chemistry and Medicinal Toxicology of the Bogomolets National Medical University. The study reveals the growing interest of stakeholders, medical university teachers, and educational service consumers in teaching chemical disciplines, particularly pharmaceutical chemistry, as the introduction of distance learning, which was actualized in the settings of the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law in Ukraine. In the context of distance learning of future pharmacists, innovative technologies – workshops; simulation training; case methods; smart technologies; problem-based learning; video visualization, etc – in the educational process are being improved. New areas of research have become the following: improving the quality of the educational process; using digital tools in the teaching of chemical disciplines.The search for answers to the question of improving the efficiency of the organization of independent work of future masters of pharmacy remained relevant for scientists, employers, and participants of the educational process of institutions of higher medical (pharmaceutical) education in Ukraine; implementation of best international practices of training future specialists of the pharmaceutical industry; boosting the practice-oriented component in the training of future pharmacists, in particular during the delivery of pharmaceutical chemistry; fostering ‘soft skills’ and ‘hard skills’ (professional knowledge and skills) in students of higher medical (pharmaceutical) education institutions
