适应药学模式的发展,探索本科生实习改革

社会的发展促使医院药学工作模式、药师的工作内容发生变革，影响着药学专业毕业生的就业，反过来促进药学教学内容和模式的改革。毕业前实习阶段的教学关系到药学教育改革的成效。调查显示，药学专业本科毕业生在医院药房工作的比例较大，医院药学工作需要的不仅是科研型人才，更应该是综合型人才，才有利于药学事业的持续发展。为此，我们作了一些探索，改革了实习模式，实习分两个阶段，第一阶段让学生参加科研实践，学习科研工作的方法；第二阶段参加医院药学日常工作的同时进行调研，锻炼学生能力。新实习模式是科研实践和医院药学实践并重，强调科研工作的基本方法，培养学生独立工作解决实际问题的能力，培养学生爱岗敬业精神。通过五届毕业生的教学实践，初见成效。毕业学生能较快地适应工作，很快成为业务骨干。实习期的教育对学生思想和能力的影响是很大的。完善实习教育模式，当然还有许多路要走。

A new internship program for pharmacy students

Internationally there has been acknowledgment that pharmacy education has evolved from a drug-centered model to a patient-centered care model. Pharmacy education now goes beyond teaching specific laboratory research competence emphasized before to include integration of skills and attitudes necessary in future pharmacy. Results of a graduated student career survey suggested that pharmaceutical college graduates are more likely to be employed as pharmacists in hospital settings and in community settings in China. Pharmacists in patient focused settings must be competent in a number of essential skills to deliver pharmaceutical care rather than skills in laboratory research. A reform in pharmacy practice internship program designed for the goal is discussed in this paper. The program includes two steps the students must be taken: (1) experimental research in laboratory to learn basic conception for operating a project, (2) an in-depth investigation in pharmacy which is different from traditional rotation to gain the abilities to identify problems and solve them. Students will complete a research report and an investigation report to further their problem-solving skills in varied areas of pharmacy. The innovative practice program has been implemented for five years and was welcomed by the students who took part in the practice. The impact of the program on pharmacy education focusing on training students' skills needs further assessment.
