社區藥局實習之教學演進

台大醫學院藥學系之社區藥局實習，過去採取與連鎖藥局建教合作方式，開課已屆十年，選修之學生累積有一百七十八人，約佔學生總數之31.8%，參與藥局家數累計六十三家。本文試圖藉由審視過去十年課程之演進，客觀地探討實施過程中，所潛藏的困難、問題與改進之道。在國內其他藥學校相繼、甚或參照此建教合作模式開設課程之際，我們深覺在相關課程之搭配、教學藥局與實習指導藥師之評選、及對實習指導藥師之適當鼓勵等方面，應適時加以檢討與建立制度，使社會藥局實務之教學，不再被國內以往之藥學教育體制所忽視，在台灣能早日成為藥師養成教育重要之一環。

The Community Pharmacy Practice Externship course at the School of Pharmacy, National Taiwan University, offered through collaboration with chain pharmacies, has been in place for the years. A total of 178 students (31.8%) and 63 pharmacies have participated in the course thus far. Course development is reviewed, and the difficulties and problems encountered over the past years are identified with a view to strategies for future improvement. To date, several pharmacy schools in Taiwan have implemented a similar arrangement so that they can offer it as an elective course for students. Room still exists for improvement, such as the addition of community pharmacy related courses, the use of criterion-guided selection of externship sites and preceptors, and the provision of appropriate encouragement for participating pharmacists. It is hoped that near future community pharmacy practice courses such as this can be acknowledged by pharmacy educators as an integral part of professional training.
