Lack of knowledge on reporting and adverse drug reactions in general greatly impact pharmacovigilance, yet how may education be improved to tackle this?
Lack of education on pharmacovigilance greatly impacts its effectiveness in ensuring the safe use of medicines, hence there is an urgent need to rethink how it is taught at universities and beyond. Yet, which educational interventions do we harness for the greatest effect?
