OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to survey the pharmacy schools in Brazil to determine the extent of education in pharmacoeconomics offered during the school year 2012-2013. METHODS A questionnaire based on previous studies was developed. This was emailed to 55 pharmacy schools in Brazil during October and December 2013. The schools were selected from the Ministry of Education website. Public and private University schools (only those that have high concepts in the National Examination Performance of Students) were included. In addition, a search was made in the database directories of research groups from National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). RESULTS Of the 55 questionnaires sent, 16 were returned (29%). Only two schools do not address the education of pharmacoeconomics in any moment. Most of schools address some concepts in different subjects (8 hours). Five schools have formal courses that teach only pharmacoeconomics and health technology assessment (over 30 hours). All agree that the education of pharmacoeconomics is important and ten schools believe that very few hours are devoted to the teaching pharmacoeconomics at his university. In search of directories of research groups 23 groups that develop research in the area of pharmacoeconomics in Brazil were found. CONCLUSIONS There is a large deficit in the availability of courses pharmacoeconomics in Brazil at both the undergraduate and graduate. There is a great opportunity for experienced individuals to fill this gap. Provide an education in pharmacoeconomics for pharmacy students is especially important in the context of evidence-based decisions and when health issues and allocation of scarce resources is a priority for Brazil.
