Training in medication management and instruction on the use of drugs based on the Model Core Curriculum was conducted over two-and-half months on a trial basis. We then conducted CS analysis to determine if there had been any improvement as regards students evaluation of the training. The results indicated improvement in student evaluation as regards the points: Ability to give advice on use of medication and explain adverse effects to patients, and Have sufficient knowledge and skill to be able to recognize adverse effects from talking to patients and observing their condition .One of the factors underlying these improvements in student evaluations is thought to be the creation of full-time clinical pharmacist positions. The presence of full-time clinical pharmacists allows clinical training schedules to be properly managed and helps ensure that the training programs are conducted smoothly. In view of the improvement in student evaluations and the above observations, we consider that the creation of full-time clinical pharmacist positions is very important to the implementation of the Model Core Curriculum.
