Since 2013, basic pharmacy practice education (BPPE) program has been implemented under the new six-year Pharmaceutical College curriculum in Korea. In accordance with this implementation, the pharmacy department at St.Mary’s Hospital in Seoul has developed its own BPPE program which was composed of the following 10 education items: introduction of hospital pharmacy practice, evaluation medicine prescription, various dosage forms preparation, major prescription preparation, injectable drugs preparation, drug information provision, medication safety evaluation, medical terminology, patient evaluation, and patient counseling. To evaluate the effectiveness of the BPPE program and students’satisfaction, the first 20 students trained under the BPPE program were surveyed and practically tested. The students rated their knowledge level of each education item pre- and post-BPPE: using the 4-point Likert scale from 1 to 4, where 1 is very low, 2 is low, 3 is high and 4 is very high. The objective practical tests were done after the BPPE. The students’safety evaluation survey contained questions on overall satisfaction, self-sufficiency, benefits of the education, and self confidence in further advanced pharmacy practice education program. All students responded to the survey. For self-assessed knowledge level of each education item, the portion of positive responders significantly increased in all items in the post-BPPE survey (p<0.001), and ‘medication safety evaluation’among the items showed the greatest increase followed by ‘injectable drug preparation’and ‘various dosage forms preparation’. In the objective practical tests after the BPPE,‘ various dosage preparation’had the highest scores of 93.8±1.1 (mean ±SD), and‘ medical terminology’and‘ patient counseling’had the lowest scores of 80.5±8.5. There was no statistically significant relationship between the self-assessed knowledge and the objective test scores. All students positively answered to overall satisfaction. Only 76.7% of the students positively answered to self confidence in further advanced pharmacy practice education program, and the most negatively responded confident item was‘ injectable drugs preparation’. The results suggested that the BPPE program was efficient and highly satisfying. However, the self assessment did not significantly correspond to objective evaluation. Therefore, consensus between preceptors and students regarding the purpose of BPPE, standard of students’evaluation, and items of BPPE is needed. Furthermore, there should be persistent efforts between the pharmacy school and practice field by sharing information as a way to be complementary to each other for more systematic and efficient pharmacy practice education program.
