“…Similar strategies have been shown to be useful in the identification of specific contents or their gap in academic curricula, namely of undergraduate pharmacy programs and other higher education programs pertaining to health care professions. [32][33][34][35][36][37] Results from the analysis of eight out of nine programs show that the topic of nanotechnology is at least partially taught in Portuguese institutions. Although the individual curricular unit description, objectives and syllabus offered at one private institution could not be scrutinized, the curricula analyzed in this study correspond to the contents provided to roughly 93% of students taking the IMPS in Portugal.…”

Objective. To analyze the inclusion of nanotechnology in the curricula of Integrated Master's in Pharmaceutical Sciences programs in Portugal. Methods. Information regarding curricula (general notice and curricular unit description, objectives and syllabus) from national institutions was collected from their official websites or requested by e-mail, and analyzed for the occurrence of nanotechnology and related terms. A nanotechnology inclusion in curriculum (NIC) index was developed and used to rank each institution. Results. All institutions with available data (eight out of nine) offered nanotechnology in their curricula. Both basic and applied nanotechnology-related education were offered to students but mostly from a theoretical perspective. The NIC index provided a standardized tool for comparing the institutions' programs and highlighted differences according to the relative importance of the presence of nanotechnology and related terms in curricula. Conclusion. Portuguese institutions offering integrated master's programs in pharmaceutical sciences are including nanotechnology in their curricula. However, its implementation across all institutions remains weak and requires further strengthening to meet the requirements of this emerging field in health care practice.
