Uzbay: “Pharmacy worldwide will also undergo a change after Covid-19”
Prof. Dr. Tayfun Uzbay, who participated in all official programs at the congress, shared his observations from the event. Uzbay stated, “Pharmacy worldwide will also undergo a change after Covid-19. They are in search of that change. They are very concerned about the quality of pharmacy education, discussing how private universities might lower standards, and the low job satisfaction and motivation among pharmacists. It was stated that in Israel, 40% of pharmacy graduates do not practice the profession due to disappointment and low job satisfaction, instead turning to other fields.”
