On Tuesday, November 8th, the College of Pharmacy hosted a visit and a talk delivered by Dr. Sohil Khan who is an evidence-based medicine (EBM) lead, internationalization lead, PhD program convenor and Faculty in the School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia. Dr. Khan has developed a number of programs in evidence-based medicine in Australia and he regularly reviews international curriculum for Pharmacy-based applied evidence programs in South Asia, South-East Asia and Middle East. He has been on the frontline of rapid evidence response in context to COVID-19 pandemic as advisory and review panel for Cochrane UK and Canada.
The talk introduced the pharmacy market in Australia and showcased the range of opportunities that can be offered both towards the clinical pharmacy career as well as to the research track. Dr. Khan highlighted the multicultural nature of the Australian experience and how the market is diverging regarding the multiple roles of clinical pharmacists within the Australian Healthcare System.
We are looking forward to collaborative research projects that will involve students and faculty from both institutions.
