The Federal University of Alfenas (UNIFAL-MG) promoted from May 26 to May 28, 2022 the VIII International Symposium on Pharmaceutical Care (VIII SICF) with the aim of training and qualifying professionals to work in the field of Clinical Pharmacy. The event sought to contribute to pharmaceutical training and continuing education for professionals and researchers working in the area. Speakers and participants discussed knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for individual, family, and community-centered practice, evidence-based clinical decisions, and more. To this end, the organizers gathered researchers from UNIFAL-MG with renowned pharmaceutical researchers from Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Colombia, Venezuela and other countries to share experiences and updates on research, methods and services related to Pharmaceutical Care in Brazil and abroad. The event is biannual and was organized by the Nucleus of Pharmaceutical Care of UNIFAL-MG (NAFAU). It happened online to contribute to the minimization of physical contact. Although the devastation caused by Covid-19 this year 2022 is less impactful than that observed in the two previous years, it is worth noting that the disease at the time of the event was still responsible for about 15 deaths per day and had a daily incidence of nearly 3,000 cases. Sixteen speakers participated in the VIII SICF, one from Portugal and another from Venezuela. Fourty-four works submitted for presentation were counted: 41 were presented in the form of a poster and 10 in the oral form. Five works received an honorable mention and will be cited in a specific section of this supplement. We hope that the availability of the scientific production presented at the event will contribute to the state of the art and expand the discussion around the current affairs of Pharmaceutical Care.
