The Japanese Society of Hospital Pharmacists has proposed the“Group Hospital Internship Program”to enrich the practical training of pharmacy students.Under this program,1 principal hospital (core hospital in an area) and 2 or more other hospitals form a group to conduct tasks that would be impossible for each hospital to carry out individually.However,as this was expected to increase the workload of pharmacists at the principal hospital,faculties of pharmacy schools were dispatched to the pharmacy of the principal hospital in order to ensure that the group hospital internship went smoothly.
Doing this enabled the group hospital internship to be conducted without increasing the workload of pharmacists at the principal hospital,and most of the pharmacy students thought the practical training they received in the principal hospital’s pharmacy was necessary.Our findings suggest that it is useful for pharmacy students and hospital pharmacists to participate in a group hospital internship conducted by the faculties of pharmacy schools.
