In response to global demand, ISMP is announcing open registration for its International Experience, a mentorship program. This intensive four-week program*, to be held at ISMP’s office in the United States, is designed to meet the unique needs of international healthcare practitioners and organizations wishing to engage in top-level medication safety activities.
Program Overview:
International participants are invited to spend time at ISMP’s office in suburban Philadelphia, PA to work with some of the Institute’s top safety experts on both group and individual learning projects. Participants will attend lectures on key areas in medication safety as well as provide ISMP staff with an overview of their facility’s medication safety efforts. Time will be spent on developing or enhancing a strategic medication safety plan for participants’ individual facilities/countries.
Participants also will visit a variety of healthcare and medication safety-focused organizations, based on their areas of interest, and have the opportunity to accompany ISMP staff to medication safety offsite meetings, presentations, and other engagements as part of their learning experience.

The Institute also maintains relationships with many international health organizations and holds a meeting for international pharmacists each year in December.
