Abstract
Pharmaceutical care is a new subject in the curriculum of the Pharmacy Degree of the University of Barcelona (UB) which has been taught since 2011/12 by professors of the Unit of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacotherapy (Consolidated Teaching Innovation Group of the University of Barcelona). The implementation of the approved innovation projects from the Programa de mejora e Innovación docente of the UB has contributed to its start-up and to the improvement of teaching quality. The theoretical and practical training at the university, especially the care-simulation classroom and clinical practice in the hospital, bring students into closer contact with the functions and activities of pharmacists as health professionals and promote the development of specific and transversal skills. The high percentage of students who passed in the first year of teaching seems to confirm interest in and acceptance of the subject.
