    The school law and the pharmacists law were amended to reform pharmaceutical education by the National Diet on July, 2004. A drastic reform of pharmaceutical education will start with these amendments as a turning point. The amendments include that the education to become pharmacists is required for six years system and that only graduates from the six years system get qualification of candidacy for pharmacist licensure examination. The four years system for pharmaceutical education will continue mainly for the education to become scientists. The reform must affect tremendous influence not only to Japanese colleges of pharmacy but also to medical organizations and pharmaceutical industries. As a temporary amendment for 12 years, after the graduates from the four years system have got their masters degrees, they may get qualification of candidacy for pharmacist licensure examination under certain conditions.

    New information resources, such as evidence-based medicine (EBM) resources, have been developed so that clinicians can retrieve information quickly. The most recent information in EBM resources often lag 6 months to 1 year after original publication. In contrast, emergency information about new infectious diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), circulates quickly but in overly large quantities. If such emergency medical information is included in EBM resources, clinicians might find relevant information more easily. We investigated the reliability and freshness of information in EBM resources. As examples of EBM resources, we focused on The Cochrane Library, Clinical Evidence, and UpToDate. We searched these EBM resources for information on SARS, the West Nile fever and hormone replacement therapy. We found that for these topics, UpToDate included the most recent articles and is therefore a good source for emergency medical information. Medical librarians should understand the advantages and limitations of such EBM resources and be able to advise clinicians about their use.
