岐阜薬科大学における臨床系教員の臨床能力維持と臨床研究

抄録

 The clinical professors at Gifu Pharmaceutical University (GPU) provide pharmaceutical services at GPU Pharmacy, Gifu University Hospital, and Gifu Municipal Hospital to keep their clinical skills up-to-date; they also perform clinical research in collaboration with many clinical institutes. The Laboratory of Clinical Pharmacy is part of the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, to which the clinical professors belong, and is composed of three clinical professors (a professor, an associate professor, and an assistant professor). The professor administers the GPU Pharmacy as its director, while the associate professor and assistant professor provide pharmaceutical services to patients at Gifu Municipal Hospital, and also provide practical training for students in the GPU Pharmacy. Collectively, they have performed research on such topics as medication education for students, clinical communication education, and analysis of clinical big data. They have also conducted research in collaboration with clinical institutes, hospitals, and pharmacies. Here, we introduce the collaborative research between the Laboratory of Clinical Pharmacy and Gifu Municipal Hospital. These studies include “Risk factors contributing to urinary protein expression resulting from bevacizumab combination chemotherapy”, “Hyponatremia and hypokalemia as risk factors for falls”, “Economic evaluation of adjustments of levofloxacin dosage by dispensing pharmacists for patients with renal dysfunction”, and “Effect of patient education upon discharge for use of a medication notebook on purchasing over-the-counter drugs and health foods”. In this symposium, we would like to demonstrate one model of the association and collaborative research between these clinical professors and clinical institutes.
