Özet: Advancements in medicine accompanied by the accumulation of new knowledge force higher education institutions to change the way they prepare their graduates to deliver healthcare. The aim of this review is to raise the awareness of the importance of pharmacovigilance and ecopharmacovigilance among nursing academics in higher education and to underline their role in educating future nurses. Pharmacovigilance aims to monitor the adverse effects of pharmaceuticals on patients. Ecopharmacovigilance, as a kind of pharmacovigilance for the environmental, aims to monitor the adverse effects of pharmaceuticals both on the environment and on humans through indirect non-therapeutic exposure. Nursing education administrators in higher education should update their curricula in the fields of pharmacovigilance and ecopharmacovigilance that will yield the improvements in the academic performance of undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students.
