Abstract

The weight of pharmacist work is shifting from “objective to interpersonal” worldwide. Strengthening interpersonal duties is important for establishing the significance of the division of medicine and practicing treatment more smoothly. To achieve this, it is essential to improve the communication skills of pharmacists. Currently, clinical introductory learning is provided within the 6-year pharmacy education, pharmacy students can comprehensively learn the basic medical communication required for medication instruction, inquiry, etc. However, in order to further strengthen interpersonal work, additional education may be necessary to further improve communication skills. The authors believe that the application of interventions performed in existing pharmacist intervention studies to pharmacy education may be effective. In this article, the author will try to discuss the effects of applying existing interview techniques and approaches to the pharmacist’s version, and the possibility of applying them to medical communication education.
