Development of pharmacy education programmes in sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review
This review provides insight into the development, implementation, and evaluation of pharmacy education across sub-Saharan Africa. Models of pharmacy education and training are well described, particularly for South Africa and Nigeria. However, there are significant information gaps in the literature for 31 countries. Future research should focus on investigating pharmacy education in sub-Saharan Africa not captured by records within this review.
