In the 6-year pharmaceutical science course, training pharmacists with superior qualities and abilities is highly desirable. Research activities are not only useful in the creation of evidence to contribute to the development of medical care, but they also help to develop a wide range of skills pharmacists require. Our investigation indicates that, although there was a direct correlation between the duration of research in the laboratory at university and graduate school, and research experience gained in most instances, those who completed the 6-year pharmaceutical sciences course tended to have less experience than those who completed a combination of the 4-year degree and subsequent master’s course. To help efficient and significant research activities mainly for pharmacists who have less experience in clinical research, we have introduced and used an originally developed report on the progress of clinical research to routinely revise the significance and theme direction. For the purpose of training pharmacists who demonstrate high clinical performance, furthermore, of development of pharmacological therapy, it is important to provide an opportunity for both students in pharmaceutical sciences course and pharmacists to actively engage in research, regardless of whether it is basic or clinical.
