Abstract

MORALES, Pol; GARCIA, Laura  and  BOSCH, Fèlix. Two decades of bridging activities between pharmacology, epidemiology and public health in Spain. Gac Sanit [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.3, pp.224-227. ISSN 0213-9111.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2014.12.006.

Unsurprisingly, disciplines such as epidemiology, public health and pharmacology have points of confluence. Consequently, in Spain, both professionals and organizations from these disciplines have collaborated on many different activities altogether. This article compiles two decades of shared initiatives among these fields, coordinated by the Esteve Foundation. We discuss 20 collaborations, including face-to-face activities and joint publications. These activities involved numerous institutions and over 1,000 professionals. Among other activities, we would like to stress the training activities in scientific writing and editing. In particular, we highlight the 32 editions of a training workshop on how to write a scientific article, which has been running since 2004 to the present day. We conclude that collaborations between different institutions and professionals have acted and will continue to act as a bridge between disciplines and to contribute to scientific progress from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Keywords : Pharmacology; Epidemiology; Public health; Institutional collaboration; Multidisciplinarity.
