In order to achieve these educational goals during their studies, students should experience, in addition to traditional teaching, different types of teaching methods such as:

• interactive communication in the teaching process;
• lectures illustrated with slides and video clips;
• small group work;
• seminar papers in which students present a specific topic and their suggestions for solving problems;
• problem-oriented workshops where truthful or simulated situations are presented and students analyze and try to find a solution;
• demonstration of skills; (access to the patient in the pharmacy, communication with healthcare workers...);
• research work.

All forms of active teaching are based on interactive teaching which is characterized by discussions about the problem that is the topic of the teaching unit, presenting a personal position supported by theoretical or experiential argumentation, noticing dilemmas related to the topic and solving them. Interactive teaching, as a modern method of teaching, will enable students to better understand the program material, acquire knowledge, form their own attitudes and adopt existing scientific doctrines.
