Seventy Years of Biochemical Subjects’ Development in Pharmacy Curricula: Experience from Serbia/ Sedamdeset godina razvoja biohemijskih predmeta u kurikulumu farmacije: iskustvo iz srbije

INTRODUCTION: The pharmacists played an important role in the development of biochemistry as applied chemistry in Serbia. What is more, the first seven state chemists in Serbia were pharmacists. State chemists performed the chemical-toxicological analysis as well as some medical and biochemical ones. When it comes to the education of medical biochemists as health workers, the period after the beginning of the second half of the twentieth century should be taken into account because that is when the training of pharmaceutical staff of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade, begins on the territory of Serbia. This paper presents the development of medical biochemistry through the development of curriculum, personnel and literature since the foundation of the Faculty of Pharmacy in Serbia until today. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to present the historical development of biochemistry at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade, through analysis of three indicators: undergraduate and postgraduate education of medical biochemists, teaching literature and professional associations and trade associations. METODE: U radu je primenjena metoda direktnih podataka i, gde je bilo potrebno, koriscena je desktop analiza pomocu koje su analizirani sekundarni podaci, uredbe, nastavni planovi i programi, dokumenta i bibliografska građa. Desktop istraživanje je realizovano na osnovu sledecih izvora: Arhive Univerziteta u Beogradu – Farmaceutskog fakulteta, Muzeja za istoriju farmacije Univerziteta u Beogradu – Farmaceutskog fakulteta, Drustva medicinskih biohemicara Srbije i Komore biohemicara Srbije. REZULTATI I ZAKLJUCAK: Kroz rezultate prikazani su nastavni planovi i programi, Bolonjski proces unapređenja nastave, sirenje opsega predmeta, broj studenata, strucna literatura za nastavu iz biohemije i strucna udruženja i strukovne asocijacije.
