Greater opportunities for practical subjects and understanding patients
Training advanced pharmacists with medical minds
This department strives to train pharmacists with higher medical minds, applying the educational power it has cultivated since its creation, with the addition of practical capabilities. We have maintained a high passing rate in the national examination for pharmacists, with 98.7% of graduates obtaining a license to practice pharmacy. A wealth of training opportunities are provided each year, with training on campus of course, but also practical education utilizing a network of hospitals, pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies to improve applicable skills beyond just acquiring knowledge. We have also implemented programs such as handicap experience training for the understanding of patients that is vital to a pharmacist. We also promote development of the capacity to support local healthcare with efforts in physical assessment (checking the body by palpation and auscultation) education which is recently desired by society. Steadily mastering technology and broadening your abilities. Through such studies, the essential qualities of an advanced pharmacist who can make a contribution to medical care are cultivated.
