医薬品と情報公開: 医薬品情報学教育の立場から

抄録

Drug Information Service (DI) as a pharmacist's practice has a history of at least 30 years. The drug information education in the school of pharmacy that supports it, however, is not sufficient and needs to be greatly elevated to a full-fledged curriculum of education in pharmacy. Facing this situation, the Japanese Society of Drug Informatics carried out a survey of drug information education in the schools of pharmacy in Japan: as a result, it prepared a “drug information educational curriculum.” This is a very useful guideline on how to teach drug information in the education of pharmacists. As information science education, it requires information literacy in to be taught early classes and in drug information education after clinical education. Such an educational system would support the pharmaceutical profession with a foundation of pharmaceutical care.
