Area of Science:

  • Pharmaceutical Sciences
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Pharmaceutical education traditionally values foundational knowledge.
  • Recent reforms mandate a 6-year pharmacy program focused on clinical practice.
  • This 6-year duration is an exception to the standard 4-year university term.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the structure and goals of the 6-year pharmacy education.
  • To explore the application of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle in pharmaceutical education.
  • To assess the contribution of basic pharmaceutical education to clinical practical ability.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the 6-year pharmacy curriculum structure.
  • Application of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle framework.
  • Review of pedagogical research in pharmacy education.

Main Results:

  • The 6-year program is legally mandated to cultivate clinical pharmacy skills.
  • Curriculum development follows a Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, including syllabus and faculty development.
  • Pedagogical research in this area is nascent, limiting current evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • The 6-year pharmacy curriculum is designed to enhance practical clinical abilities.
  • The PDCA cycle provides a framework for continuous improvement in pharmacy education.
  • Further research is needed to validate the effectiveness of basic pharmaceutical education in improving clinical skills.
