The COVID-19 pandemic has brought much attention to the gaps and challenges in all world systems including the educational sphere. Inequities in education have not been new to the world but due to the pandemic, there have been greater disparities in education and training of the pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences students globally. Inequities arising from socioeconomic standing, infrastructural differences, policies, student welfarism, race, gender or disabilities of individuals, academic institutions and countries will be discussed during this session. The session seeks to highlight how these inequities affect the process of pharmacy education, and provide good practices from colleagues in Africa, Asia and Latin America. At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify the existing inequities in pharmacy education
- Learn good practices to curb different inequalities affecting pharmacy education due to COVID-19
- Strengthen advocacy efforts for all-inclusive educational policies and resources
