TODO - This paper looks at the way in which industrial pharmacists rank the fundamental competences for pharmacy practice. European industrial pharmacists (n = 135) ranked  68 competences for practice, arranged into 13 clusters of two types (personal and  patient care). Results show that, compared to community pharmacists (n = 258),  industrial pharmacists rank competences centering on research, development and  production of drugs higher, and those centering on patient care lower. Competences  centering on values, communication skills, etc. were ranked similarly by the two  groups of pharmacists. These results are discussed in the light of the existence or  not of an "industrial pharmacy" specialization.
