Abstract
Amid the reform of pharmacist training that is now underway, the Japanese Society of Hospital Pharmacists has proposed the “Group Hospital Internship Program”. Under this program, two or more hospitals, one of them a leader hospital (core hospital in the area), form a group to take care of tasks that it would be impossible for each hospital to carry out individually, in order to upgrade the acceptance system and enrich the practical training.In order to identify any problems related to the program, the Kanagawa Hospital Pharmacists Association has conducted a model project on long-term internship in collaboration with the Council on Hospital/Pharmacy Internship for Pharmacy Students in the Kanto Area using a common internship textbook, “A Practical Guide to Hospital Internship for Pharmacy Students”.It was found that pharmacy students felt they were acquiring good practical skills and that all curriculums were well standardized. The opinions of instructors in these regards were consistent with those of the students. However, this program could be valued more highly by comparing its usefulness with that of previous ones and increasing the number of areas targeted by the model project.
