Methods: We assessed the training programs of hospital pharmacists in theUnited Kingdom, the United States and Japan and compared those of major hospitals in Seoul and Gyeonggiprovinces in Korea. The survey assessed the satisfaction on the current educational programs for pharmacists at EwhaWomans University Mokdong Hospital and a newly designed education program was suggested.
Results: The majordifferences of the programs among the Korean hospitals and Mokdong Hospital were the training period and contentsof the entry-level pharmacist education program. The overall satisfaction of the training program was >3 points on 5-Likert scale in the survey. There was no significant difference of the satisfaction level based on the employment periodof pharmacists. The pharmacists were in more than 7 training programs of clinical support work. We proposed theclinical support training for the new pharmacists to be separated from orientation and concentrated on actual workduty. In order to improve the competency, it was encouraged to participate the in-house seminar or certify the relatedfields provided by Korean Society of Health-system Pharmacists.
Conclusion: The education program was assessedamong different countries and hospitals of Korea. We suggested to update education program in the hospital toenhance pharmacists’ competency.
