Abstract

Background: There exist some different perceptions on clinical pharmacy between Korean and western societies. Since the pharmacists who received the 6-year pharmacy education join the pharmacy profession soon, it appears imperative to know whether the western-style clinical pharmacy is adaptable to Korean-style pharmacy education and profession. Methods: The authors surveyed 54 professors in the membership directory of the Korean College of Clinical Pharmacy (KCCP) on their perceptions on clinical pharmacy and clinical pharmacists, and their willingness for adapting clinical pharmaceutical care (CPC) and clinical pharmaceutical sciences (CPS) into clinical pharmacy education. The survey consists of 47 questions including dichotomized and Likert scale questionnaires in the areas of respondent demographics, clinical pharmacy, clinical pharmacists, CPC and CPS. Results: Of the 54 KCCP members surveyed, 29 completed the questionnaires in full and one in part. It appears that most KCCP members acknowledge the existence and importance of the two major fields of clinical pharmacy, CPC and CPS. Twenty-eight (96.6%) and seventeen members (68.0%) agreed to introduce CPC and CPS into the clinical pharmacy education in Korea, respectively. Seventeen (63.0%) answered CPC would be successfully adapted in Korea. Twenty (74.1%) agreed that it is desirable for clinical pharmacists to perform CPC and CPS simultaneously. Conclusion: Based on this survey, the authors suggest that pharmacy schools provide their students with the education opportunities on CPC to nurture clinical pharmacists through a master's program and CPS to foster clinical pharmaceutical scientists through a Ph.D. program.
