The four talks in this educational session will cover the historical and cultural factors that shaped pharmacy and medicine in many of the Asia-Pacific countries, examples of efforts to build the pharmacy infrastructure for public health programs in the developing world, strategic planning for hospital pharmacy in an Arab country of the Middle East, and collaboration between an academic medical center in the U.S. and hospitals abroad.  The session will conclude with the Donald E. Francke Medal Lecture.

Donald E. Francke Medalist, Agathe Wehrli, B.Pharm., DSc (hon), retired from the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, will present a lecture titled, "Expanding Knowledge and Opportunity in Pharmacy".  The Donald E.
