Panel: Curriculum Reform: Integrating SF Medical Products Content into Pre-Service and In-Service Training

Strengthening the capacity of healthcare professionals to recognize and prevent substandard and falsified (SF) medical products begins with education. This session brings together educators, clinical leaders, and continuing medical education experts to examine the absence of SF-related content in most health curricula and discuss strategies to close that gap. Panelists will focus on medical, nursing, midwifery, and pharmacy programs, exploring innovative models, competency frameworks, and institutional partnerships that can better prepare the next generation of healthcare workers. The discussion will conclude with a call to action and recommendations for curricula reform to embed medicine quality and patient safety as core professional competencies.
