Abstract

V originále

In recent years, Masaryk University (Brno, Czechia) has been implementing the project of Common University Courses that allows students enrolled in various degree programmes to gain a basic overview of a wide range of disciplines and to broaden their education beyond the focus of their field of studies. We aimed to develop a CORE course for non-pharmacy students at Masaryk University. The main objective of the course is to increase students' health literacy in medicines. The preparation of the course was based on a literature review and current experiences in the pharmacy students' teaching, and the team members also attended several workshops to improve their pedagogical competencies. The course development was supported by the project of Masaryk University MUNI/CORE/0729/2022. As a result of the project, a new course called “Medicines in Everyday Life in the 21st Century“ was prepared and offered for registration. The course includes topics related to the problem of medicines as a specific category of goods, their availability and provision, differences between medicines and other health-related products, medicines in households, economic aspects of providing and using medicines, and information sources about medicines for the public.
