C. Daniel Mullins, PhD, chair of pharmaceutical health services research at the School of Pharmacy, University of Maryland, describes the state of pharmacy school curricula related to biosimilars.
Transcript
Biologics and biosimilars are evolving so quickly it's hard for anybody to keep up. From an educational standpoint, every school of pharmacy is trying to change its curriculum as quickly as possible, but if you received a lecture last year and something changes this year, we don’t always get that new information into that third-year or fourth-year class.
