The Japanese pharmaceutical curriculum was extended from four to six years in 2006. Students now receive practical communication-skills training in their fourth year, before progressing to train in hospital and community pharmacies in their fifth year. Kitasato University School of Pharmacy, Tokyo, had established a program to meet these aims before the 2006 guidance. In the present study, we discuss and evaluate the features of this communication-skills training program. This study enrolled 242 fourth-year pharmacy students at Kitasato University. Students filled out a questionnaire survey after completing the laboratory element of their undergraduate education. As part of training, students were asked to obtain patient data from a model medical chart, before performing simulated patient interviews covering hospital admission and patient counseling. These simulations were repeated in a small group, and feedback was provided to students by both the simulated patient and the faculty after each presentation. It was found that students were able to develop their communication skills through this approach. Thus, an effective system of gradual and continuous training has been developed, which allows students to acquire clinical and practical communication skills.
日本的药学课程于2006年从四年延长至六年。现在,学生在第四年接受实践沟通技能培训,然后在第五年进入医院药房和社区药房进行实习。东京北里大学药学院在2006年的指导方针出台之前就已经制定了一个符合这些目标的项目。在本研究中,我们讨论并评估了这个沟通技能培训项目的特点。本研究招募了北里大学的242名四年级药学专业学生。学生们在完成本科教育的实验部分后填写了一份问卷调查。作为培训的一部分,学生们被要求从一份模拟病历中获取患者数据,然后进行模拟患者访谈,内容涵盖住院情况和患者咨询。这些模拟在小组中重复进行,每次展示后,模拟患者和教师都会向学生提供反馈。结果发现,学生们能够通过这种方式提高他们的沟通技能。因此,已经开发出了一个有效的逐步和持续培训系统,使学生能够获得临床和实践沟通技能。
