PHAR-QA QUALITY ASSURANCE - ERASMUS PROJECT II. GAUGING EFFECTIVENESS OF QUALITY ASSURANCE ACTIVITIES IN PHAR-QA "KICK- OFF" MEETING

Abstract

The PHAR-QA ‘kick-off’ meeting targeted the debut of discussions about the development of standard operation procedures for quality assurance in European pharmacy education and training. Questionnaires regarding participants (members of PHARMINE consortium and other guests) opinion concerning organization, quality assurance of the curriculum, evaluation of the academic achievements, goals and as well as other developments of project, were distributed. The analysis was a qualitative one, partner 9 (University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Carol Davila" being responsible for the quality plan in the project) used statistical parametric and statistical nonparametric methods with the purpose of gauging the effectiveness of quality systems. Verification of all feedbacks and observations lead to the conclusion that the best solution is the application of a mosaic of statistical tests combined with phenomenological analysis of the education process.
