Zuzana Kusynová

In her thesis, Zuzana Kusynová assessed the optimal role of science, practice and education in building capacity for pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences while considering the ultimate goal of addressing the health needs worldwide. Current realities in all these three elements, outlining trends, anticipating various scenarios, and exploring unconventional interventions, can enhance the readiness to augment capacity building. The roles of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists are transforming, and education must keep up with these for ensuring optimal capacity.
