Practical training that follows the Model Core Curriculum for Pharmacy Education (2013 Version) began in the 2019 academic year. We conducted a questionnaire survey that will lead to further development of the training system. The subject institutions were those in Miyagi Prefecture that accepted trainees in the 2019 academic year. Responses were received from 27 pharmacies (33.3％) and 14 hospitals (45.2％) for the subject institution survey, and from 69 pharmacy pharmacists (15.4％) and 151 hospital pharmacists (25.5％) for the subject pharmacist survey. Looking at the respondents’ level of involvement in practical training by their position, it was found that among 127 “other pharmacists” who were neither the pharmacist responsible for the pharmacy section nor pharmacist instructors, 56 (44.0％) responded that they were “not very involved” in the practical training, and 13 (10.2％) responded that they were “not involved at all.” Of those 13, nine (69.2％) responded that the reason they were not involved was that they “do not have certification for practical training.” More than 70％ of pharmacists who said that they were “quite involved” in the training regardless of their position, responded that they had difficulty “ensuring my own working hours.” These results suggest that tasks related to practical training may be concentrated on only a certain number of pharmacists in an institution. Hence, training more certified pharmacist instructors and developing systems that would allow many other pharmacists who are not certified to also be involved in practical training are considered necessary.
