OBJECTIVES: The Pharmacoeconomics allows economic evaluation of products and services for health and helps a lot the healthcare decision-making. Therefore, there is a need for training of human resources with solid knowledge in pharmacoeconomics in Brazil. However, little is known to what extent Pharmacoeconomics is taught in schools of pharmacy in Brazil. 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 [Rascati  (1998, 2005, 2013) 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. University schools of public and private (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: Results of the questionnaires sent 55, 14 went unanswered. Only one school does not address the teaching of Pharmacoeconomics in no time. Most discuss some concepts within various disciplines (see 8:0). Four schools have formal disciplines that teach only Pharmacoeconomics or health technology assessment (more than 30 hours). All agree that the education of pharmacoeconomics is important. In the search for directories of research groups were found 23 groups that develop research in the area of Pharmacoeconomics in Brazil. CONCLUSIONS: Pharmacoeconomics education in Brazil is still in its infancy and there is a unique opportunity for well-trained instructors and researchers to fill this gap. Provide an education in Pharmacoeconomics to pharmacy  and economists students is especially important in the context of evidence-based decisions and when health issues and allocation of scarce resources is a priority for Brazilian Health System.
