ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the training and evaluation for hospital pharmacy teachers. METHODS:19 pharmacists-in-charge in the pharmacy department of our hospital received training of teaching ability,and theory test and multi-sta-tion practical technique test were conducted after training. The items examined in theory test included training rules,the profession-al knowledge of pharmacy and teaching method;the content of practical technique test included checking prescriptions/medication orders,drug dispensing,medication management,patient education and ADR report. Each teacher’s test included 3 of 5 items above based on different responsibilities. All scores were analyzed and summarized. RESULTS:The score of practical technique test was higher than the score of theory test;teachers’grasp of training rules was the worst in theory test;in practical technique test,the score of medication management was the highest for teachers worked at the post of dispensing;while the score of patient education was higher than the score of ADR report for teachers who were clinical pharmacists,the differences were statistically sig-nificant(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:In order to improve teaching ability, teachers should receive intensive training on the train-ing rules and the professional knowledge of pharmacy;the multi-station examination mode will be improved in many modes such as increasing stations,standardized test paper and standardized trainees;meanwhile,the young pharmacists should be encouraged for positive commitment to the teaching work and continuously enriched with experience.
