Abstract:
1) The aim of this study was to develop a training method for pre-educational clinical pharmacy in a 6-year curriculum. In the evaluation of training in a prepractical pharmacy by pharmacy students after completing clinical training in a 4-year curriculum, the average scores for the necessity and usefulness of training in a prepractical pharmacy were 4.5 and 3.9, respectively (maximum score, 5; minimum score, 1).
2) The average scores for usefulness in the subcategories of knowledge, technique, and attitude were 3.5, 4.2 and 3.8, respectively. The percentages of scores of 4 or 5 in these subcategories were 60.1%, 83.2%, and 64.1%, respectively.
3) The students recognized the necessity and usefulness of training in a prepractical pharmacy, but dissociation was seen in both scores. Therefore, the amount of attitude education in training in a prepractical pharmacy was thought to be insufficient. The strong desire for education by clinical pharmacists and the development of educational programs are future challenges for the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
