 The major duty of a school pharmacist is to serve as an expert in analysis. School pharmacists must perform regular and thorough assessments based on school environmental health standards. The objectives of the “environmental” component of the pharmacy education model core curriculum include performing analyses corresponding to the regularly checked items of the school environmental health standards. Students of the School of Pharmacy should cultivate their expertise in environmental analysis and environmental health, through practices such as sample collection, analysis operation, and evaluation of test results. As analysis experts, school pharmacists must know the principles and characteristics of analytical methods. The “Methods of Analysis in Health Science” published by the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan, provides comprehensive information on regular items to be cheked in the school environmental health standards, and school pharmacists should use this as a guide in their activities.
