IUPHAR-Ed Newsletter - March 2024

Welcome to the second IUPHAR Education Section newsletter!
I’ve had the privilege of working as Chair of the IUPHAR Education Section since 2022 and am delighted to have been re-appointed to the post. Many thanks to IUPHAR member societies for supporting my nomination.
The Section has developed significantly over the last few years, including a restructure of the organisation and remit to include oversight of both the Pharmacology Education Project and the Core Concepts of Pharmacology initiative. We have opened up Section meetings to include the education leads from member societies, the PEP Editorial Board and the Core Concepts research team, which has brought vibrancy and increased focus to the team.
A new, transparent process to elect the new councillors who will serve until WCP 2026 was developed, and the team oversaw the organisation of the WCP 2023 IUPHAR Education Satellite Meeting, which welcomed over 100 educators from 22 countries to Glasgow.
More recently, we established working groups around communication, social media, networking and events, and released our first newsletter in December. We ran the first of our online educator meetings in March – more details about this can be found on page 6.

Please send us your ideas for topics you would like to see covered in future online educator meetings, and we hope to see you at a meeting soon.
