The report contained 14 recommendations for pharmacy practice and education. Among these were continued movement of pharmacy as a knowledge-based clinical profession, increased development of clinical practice sites for pharmacy school faculty, and development of a national board licensing exam for pharmacists. 

The university as a whole has to plan and realize the co-operation between different disciplines represented by faculties and departments. Other functions are to provide an adequate infrastructure and the administration in the university. On the second level the functions of faculties and departments are the planning and controlling of programs and curricula as well as the intra-disciplinary co-ordination. On the third level the institutes and chairs have to carry out research work and knowledge transfer as well as education and training. This functional division in universities result in a special need for an effective and efficient management of education and research in institutes and chairs.
