We established a network meeting system program and used it to review a prior pharmaceutical practice training session. Pharmacists at Tokai University Hachioji Hospital gave lectures about dispensing and other tasks performed by clinical pharmacists to third-year undergraduate students at Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences. After the lectures, discussions were held using the network meeting system, after which a questionaire was completed by the students. The questionaire was answered by 530 students, of whom approximately 90% expressed interest in the program, 80% noted approval of the media used in the system, and 94% thought that the program was useful. Thus, we concluded that the students were motivated by the program to remember what they had learned in the lectures. We also found that the quality of data communication had an eŠect on the interests and motivation of the students. Based on their evaluation of the media, it was considered that improvements in communication regarding the system were necessary, though the evaluation of the utility of the program was not in‰uenced by the quality of data communication. As a result, we concluded that our network meeting system program was useful to review prior learning of pharmaceutical practice.

In examining assessment methods used for evaluating training, there have so far been no studies reporting any diŠerences between the visual analogue scale (VAS) evaluation method, based on a rating scale, and evaluation methods based on an ordinal scale. Here we report theˆndings of an examination into diŠerences and discrepancies between the results of the VAS method and a 5-point evaluation. Following the end of their training period, seven trainees carried out a self-evaluation regarding their level of understanding and performance using the 5-point evaluation and VAS methods. We then compared the average results of both assessment methods and examined the correlation between the two sets ofˆgures. We found no diŠerences between the 5-point evaluation method and VAS method in evaluating training for dispensing drugs, administering injections, pharmacy preparation, and medication management and instruction. There was also a signiˆcant correlation between average values for the 5-point evaluation and VAS method in evaluating training for dispensing drugs, administering injections, pharmacy preparation, and medication management and instruction. This led us to the conclusion that both the 5-point evaluation method and VAS method give similar results and outcomes in assessing the results of practical training.
To evaluate the cardio pulmonary resuscitation(CPR)/automated external deˆbrillator(AED)operation class and disability (wheelchair, inconvenience, and eye mask) experiences class provided as part of the 2007 early exposure program at Gifu Pharmaceutical University, a questionnaire survey was conducted among students who had participated in this program. Many students had already participated in a previous CPR class (79%) and/or disability experiences class (55%), and some students had even experienced a real-life situation requiring these techniques (9% and 14%, respectively). Those with previous training experience performed more eŠectively in this year's early exposure program than those without such an experience. Due to the active participation of most students during the training, a signiˆcantly higher level of satisfaction with the program than that previously expected was achieved (mean score on a 5-grade scale: 3.98 vs. 3.31 for the CPR/AED class; 4.35 vs. 3.69 for the disability experiences class). Furthermore, many students commented that their experience in this year's program increased their motivation for future training and conˆdence to cope with a real-life situation in the future. Theseˆndings demonstrated the eŠectiveness of repeated training in mastering the CPR/AED and welfare-related techniques, and the usefulness of incorporating such training into the early exposure program. To provide regularly a meaningful early exposure program, the concept of a``model core curriculum'' led by learners as well as the age-mixing method with senior students supporting instruction of their juniors should be introduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
