Practical pharmacy training was greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We surveyed 26 pharmacies (recovery rate: 29.2％) and 28 hospitals (85.1％) in Miyagi prefecture in 2020. Significant time requirements were reported for adjusting schedules, course contents, infection prevention measures, and remote training. Practical pharmacy training regarding patient care changed from a participation/experience-based format, and hospital training changed for not only patient care but also for drug therapy. The educational effect of the observation/lecture format was significantly lower than that of the participation/experience-based training in the following areas: dispensing based on prescriptions, participation in team medicine, and participation in community health, medical care, and welfare in pharmacy, and basic pharmacy practice, dispensing based on prescriptions, pharmacotherapy practice [understanding patient information], pharmacotherapy practice [prescription design and pharmacotherapy practice (evaluating efficacy and side effects of pharmacotherapy)], and participation in team medicine in hospital. In the event that participation/experience-based training cannot be conducted, it is essential for training facilities to collaborate in improving training formats that incorporate role-playing and remote training.
