Abstract

Clinical clerkship students were prohibited from visiting the Tokyo General Hospital to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection. We decided to start remote training using the Microsoft Teams platform in consultation with the universities. The contents were mainly case studies with trainee SGDs and plenary sessions with pharmacists. The trainees followed the actual workflow of pharmaceutical care when examining each case. The discussions focused on the important points of pharmaceutical care so that the trainees would find it easier to understand. Some problems trainees faced were inexperience and recurring symptoms such as headaches. However, they seemed to understand how hospital pharmacists work. A progress report meeting held in the middle of the training period with the university teachers was also beneficial. We concluded that remote training could be an alternative when onsite practical training cannot be carried out. In addition, we believe the clinical clerkship will be more effective by combining remote and onsite even after the pandemic.
