As a teacher of biochemistry in a school of pharmacy, a basic subject in pharmacist education, I try to include applied topics such as the biochemical mechanisms of diseases and side effects of medicines in relation to basic knowledge of biochemistry for advanced subjects that students will learn in later years. In aging societies, many people visiting community pharmacies are elderly who tend to have health concerns other than diseases diagnosed by physicians. If asked, community pharmacists should be able to give advice on potential problems patients might have, in addition to giving explanations of medicines prescribed. Basic subjects covered in university pharmacy courses should be the most useful in such community settings.
