Abstract
Pharmacy education in Thailand has undergone changes since founded in 1888. Several contextual influences on changes in health care system globally and internal constraints from simultaneous changes in education system and pharmacy professional practice result in the lack of long-term strategies for reasonable implementation. Pharmacy curriculum change has profoundly affected the quantity and quality of pharmacy workforce as well as the practice of pharmacy in Thailand. By 2014, the centennial pharmacy education will be celebrated in Thailand. During the time, there has been development of the curriculum to suit the changing role of pharmacists in this country. The present article is to review the current status and gather the external and internal factors affecting Thai pharmacy education for development towards Asean Economic Community (AEC) by 2014.
