At Gifu Pharmaceutical University,hospital visits were introduced as an early exposure program for first year students (n=144)in 2009.On conducting a questionnaire survey of students who had gone on a hospital visit (response rate 100%),the results suggested that pre-learning raised the students’interest in the hospital visit and that they were satisfied with it (2 -top ratios : 79.9% and 83.3%).We also conducted a factor analysis and covariance structure analysis to investigate a connection between“interest in hospital visit”and“level of satisfaction with hospital visit”and the learning structure.Three important factors were extracted in factor analysis of 14 questions relating to before the hospital visit:“presentation ability”,“understanding of hospital pharmacist duties”,and“basic knowledge of medicine”.Similarly,three important factors were extracted in factor analysis of 13 questions relating to after the hospital visit:“desire to be a hospital pharmacist",“active pharmacist”,and“positive attitude”.Covariance structure analysis showed that three factors:“presentation ability”,“understanding of hospital pharmacist duties”,and“basic knowledge of medicine” elicited“interest in hospital visit”.We inferred that this was linked with“hospital pharmacist desire”and“positive attitude”.We also inferred that 3 factors-“desire to be a hospital pharmacist”,“active pharmacist”,and“positive attitude”- raised the“level of satisfaction with hospital visit”.
