IN CONCLUSION
In Bulgaria and the general needs required
increasing of drug professional capacity
1.    The experience with the education carried
out in the frames of previously developed
international activities reached its limitations
and exhausted its resources.
1.    The experience with the drug education in
the Universities, which is of a good level, is
limited to the certain courses. Being adequate
for some level of knowledge this education is not
sufficient for the creation of professionals for
DDR activities.
