In the Bucharest Faculty of Pharmacy curricula, in 1923-1924 (early start of the independent pharmaceutical education in Bucharest) Deontology as a discipline is mentioned within the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology. In 1927, a discipline called Deontology and Pharmaceutical Law is found in the syllabus, which was taught by PhD Associate Professor Pharmacist Alexandru Iteanu (1869 -1928). After the death in 1928 of the single professor trained in this specialty, concepts of pharmaceutical organization and management stopped been taught within the pharmaceutical education.
Reintroducing of this discipline in 1949 meant a continuation of the status of the one within the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology during 1923-1928 which included pharmaceutical organization courses. In 1953 the discipline became independant in the graduate pharmaceutical education and in 1957, in the post-graduate one.
Between 1957-1979 the scientific research was oriented towards the priority issues of pharmaceutical activity: organizing the work place in pharmacies, through scientific studies, ensuring optimal conditions in this respect, analisys of morbidity, health and economic efficiency for medicines preparation in pharmacy, pharmacist role in magistral prescription, development of research methods in pharmaceutical organization, techniques and principles for forecasting regarding pharmaceutical units (pharmacies, warehouses, control laboratories), calculation of consumption and the needed medication.
Scientific research results were used in practice, these being the starting point for many legislative and normative acts concerning the pharmaceutical activity.
In 1923-1924 curricula for courses and practical works there is a discipline similar to marketing, called Commercial Encyclopedia. Until 1958 at the Departament for Pharmaceutical Organization was taought a course of Accountancy. in 1949/1950 curricula there were 32 course hours and 16 seminars hours and in 1958-1959 this dicipline was voluntary and had 14 hours of course and 28 hours of laboratory.
During the years it was highlighted that in practice, the pharmacist does not carry out accounting operations, he keeps a technical-operative evidence. The discipline will appear in the 1967/1968 syllabus being kept until 1990 under the name Economic Evidence and Legislation.
From the 1990/1991 academic year, it no longer appears and from the corresponding number of hours (16 course hours + 16 seminars) were assigned to the discipline of Pharmaceutical Organization.
The current fields in the Discipline are: graduate and postgraduate pharmaceutical management and marketing education, pharmacoeconomics, pharmacovigilance and history of pharmacy.
Postgraduate education takes place throughout the year in the form of internships for residence pharmacists and pharmacy professionalls (training courses).
There are two optional courses: Antrepreneurship (5th year) and History of Pharmacy (1st year). The discipline is directly involved in coordination of the Doctoral School through the module named: "Scientific research legislation in Romania and Research Ethics".
