Sažetak
The content of Pharmacology curricula for the academic year 2000/2001 have been collected from individual Medical Schools in Croatia and analysed by using method developed by a Committee of essential knowledge base in Pharmacology, Association for Medical School Pharmacology, USA (URL adress: http: farmr4.uth.tmc.edu/druglist/, network distribution by G.C. Rosenfeld, Department of Pharmacology, University of Texas Medical School, Huston, Texas, USA, 1993). Medical Pharmacology curricula in Croatia are recorded along two dimensions: 1) number of subjects covered and 2) time allocated to individual subject as a fraction (%) of total teaching hours. The "average" Pharmacology curriculum in Croatian Medical Schools (as a mean % total teaching hours of all courses) has been designed and results presented below. N= 4 Mean total teaching hours = 136 (130-148) Subjects Mean % total teaching hours hours range 1) General principles 15.4 (14-27) 2) CNS and peripheral somatic n.s. 11.6 (12-18) 3) Autonomic n.s., incl. NMJ 6.3 (8-10) 4) Autacoids and antiinilamatory 2.9 (2-6) 5) Cardiovascular and respiratory 10.6 (12-18) 6) Renal drugs, salt and water 2.0 (2-4) 7) Blood & Blood forming 2.4 (2-5) 8) Gastrointestinal 2.2 (0-4) 9) Endocrine, incl. oxytocics, uterine 7.4 (6-10) 10) Vitamins & related 0.3 (0-2) 11) Chemoterapy a) antimicrobial 8.1 (4-12) b) antitumor 3.5 (4-7) 12) Toxicology 2.0 (2-5) 13) Various 2.4 (0-10) 14) Laboratory Demonstrations, computer or video simulations 13.0 (8-34) 15) Prescription wrighting 11.9 (12-22) In conclusion, analysis of Pharmacology curricula in Croatian Medical School, as well as the "average" curriculum construction should help: to generate a consensus "core curriculum" as a basal teaching standard ; to serve as a stimulus and guideline to rearrange the programs
