We have developed the ‘Practical Training Management/Assessment Web System’, which uses a web browser, to enable the long-term practical training in the 6-year pharmaceutical education curriculum at Gifu Pharmaceutical University to be conducted more efficiently. It was used for the long-term practical training in 2010 and at the end of it, a questionnaire survey of students, pharmacists and university teachers (responding students: n=119, pharmacists: n=155, university teachers: n=32) was conducted.
Questionnaire survey scores for the necessity of the web system and degree of satisfaction with it were significantly higher for university teachers than students and pharmacists (Chi-square test, p<0.001). Pharmacists highly evaluated the practical schedule editing period of 2.5 months. Also, those working in pharmacies gave higher evaluations than hospital pharmacists concerning many questions including those regarding the necessity of and degree of satisfaction with the web system. These findings suggest that pharmacists working in pharmacies found it very useful in providing support for the long - term practical training.
Overall many students, pharmacists and university teachers thought that our web system for the long-term practical training was highly necessary and provided a high degree of satisfaction and we feel that its objectives were successfully achieved.
As a problem that needs to be solved, some students were unable to easily print out the practical notes containing SBOs for their practical training on a daily basis.
