The trends in the quality of biomedical education in pharmacy schools have witnessed significant changes in the 21st
century. With the advent of continuous revision and standardization processes of medical curricula throughout the world,
the focus has been on imparting quality edu琧ation. This pedagogic paradigm has shifted to pharmacy schools. In Saudi Arabia,
the concept of "medical and pharmacy education" is relatively new as mainstream pharmacy curriculum and universities were
established only half a century ago. This period has seen major changes in the dimension of "pharmacy education" to keep pace
with the education systems in the United States and Europe. As our knowledge and perceptions about pharmaceuticals change
with time, this moti瑅ates educators to search for better teaching alternatives to the ever increasing number of enthusi琣stic
and budding pharmacists. Recently, the academic system in Saudi Arabian Pharmacy has adopted a more clinically-oriented
Pharm.D. curriculum. This paper deals with the major changes from the inception of a small pharmacy faculty in 1959, the
College of Pharmacy at the King Saud University, Riyadh, lo the model of progress and a prototype of pharmacy colleges in
Saudi Arabia. The fifty year chronological array can be regarded as an epitome of progress in pharmacy education in Saudi
Arabia from its traditional curriculum to the modern day Pharm.D. curriculum with a high population growth and expanding
health care sector, the demand for qualified pharmacists is growing and is projected to grow considerably in the future. The
number of pharmacy graduates is increasing each year by many folds and to meet the needs the system lays stress upon a
constant revising and updating of the current curriculum from a global perspective.
