Due to the expanding roles of pharmacists, a change in pharmacy education has become imperative. A variety of professional organizations determine the competencies pharmacists must have, and the definition of 'good pharmacist' has been shaped within the context of those competencies. In order to train good pharmacists, undergraduate education should also be improved and its quality should be assured. To this end, it is crucial to adopt the most appropriate approach in pharmacy education and prepare the curriculum based on that approach. Professional Socialization (PS), the objective of which is to integrate knowledge and skills with professional values and norms rather than centering simply on providing knowledge and skills, is an approach may suit the needs of pharmacy education. As for the regulations launched in pharmacy education in Turkey, it is important to proceed with the assistance of appropriate methods and in environments that will allow students to imagine themselves as pharmacists. Besides, students should observe role models that perform their professional roles properly both in academy and in practice. It is also imperative that their workplace environment, where they will have the opportunity to experience their roles as pharmacists, be arranged rationally and scientifically and in a sense that will contribute to their professional identity formation. Assessment of whether the students should be carried out using different methods rather than simply giving written examinations. The present study is significant in that it offers explanatory suggestions on the regulations launched in pharmacy education in Turkey based on PS.

Dünyada eczacılık mesleğinin işleyişi ile ilgili değişen paradigma ve eczacıların genişleyen rolleri doğrultusunda eczacılık eğitiminde de değişim şart olmuştur. Çeşitli meslek kuruluşları eczacıların sahip olması gereken yeterlilikleri belirlemektedir. Bu yeterlilikler çerçevesinde 'iyi eczacı' tanımı da şekillenmiştir. İyi bir eczacının yetiştirilmesi için eczacılık fakültelerinde verilen lisans eğitiminin de etkili hale gelmesi ve kalite güvencesinin sağlanması gerekmektedir. Bu sebeple eczacılık eğitimi için uygun yaklaşımı belirlemek ve eğitim programlarını bu yaklaşımı temel alarak hazırlamak önemlidir. Profesyonel Sosyalizasyon yaklaşımı eczacılık eğitimi için uygun görülebilecek bir yaklaşımdır. Öğrenciye salt bilgi ve becerinin verilmesinden ziyade, bu bilgi ve beceriyi, mesleğe ait değerler, normlar ile bütünleştirmesi amaçlanır. Türkiye'de başlatılan eczacılık eğitimi düzenlemeleri için öğrencilerin kendini eczacı olarak hayal etmesine olanak tanıyan ortamlarda, uygun yöntem ve tekniklerin yardımı ile yol almak gerekir. Öğrencilerin akademide ve sahada mesleki rollerini doğru bir şekilde gerçekleştiren rol modelleri gözlemlemesi konusunda hassasiyet gösterilmelidir. Eczacı olarak rollerini deneyimleme şansı buldukları iş ortamlarının da mesleki kimlik oluşumuna hizmet edecek şekilde, akılcı ve bilime uygun şekilde düzenlenmesi şarttır. Öğrencilerin belirlenen yeterliliklere sahip olup olmadığının değerlendirilmesi ise, yazılı sınavların haricinde, farklı metotlar kullanılarak yapılmalıdır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'de başlatılan eczacılık eğitimi düzenlemeleri için, Profesyonel Sosyalizasyon perspektifini temel alarak açıklayıcı öneriler sunması açısından önemlidir.
