The Korean pharmacy education has introduced new curriculum since 2011. In the new curriculum, pharmacy students have been provided strenthen experimental education and clinical pharmacy has been more important than previous curriculum. Thus, faculties in the college of pharmacy should prepare the circumstances correlated with the changed curriculum. To accomplish successful setting, all faculty and practice experts must work together and need financial assisstant from the college. However, there are many different obstacles among 35 colleges of pharmacy in Korea. In order to narrow a gap among students and find the way to overcome it together, we studied the problem of preparation process in Korean colleges of Pharmacy. We studied the process of practical education in college of pharmacy by means of self-reporting questionnaire from November 29th 2012 to December 31th 2012. The questionaire comprised of syllabus related to clinical pharmacy, the number of professor in charge of clinical pharmacy or pharmacotherapeutics, the plan of securing faculties in the field of clinical pharmacy, the budget, site, instrument for preparing experimental education, the lesson time number of experimental education, MOU, education and treatment of preceptor in the practice site and committee of experimental education in the college. Total 21 of 35 colleges participated in this survey. They showed different composition of syllabus, budget, the circumstances of experimental education, the education and treatment of preceptor. Most colleges are unclear the site and preceptor of experimental education and they did not contract the MOU with the sites. 9 of 21 also did not have the committee of experimental education in the colleges. From 2013, some colleges of pharmacy start actual experimental education. Inadequete preparation and different quality of education can make student incomplete pharmacists, so it will be negative effect on public health. To overcome challenge and obtain desirable goal, funding/administrative assistant from the college and networking within 35 colleges of pharmacy are needed.

Purpose: This study investigated the burden of preceptors in order to improve preceptorship in nursing practice. Method: The participants were 170 preceptors at three hospitals in Pusan. The data were collected using questionnaires completed between July and September 2002, which included items to measure burden and opinions to reflect the demands of preceptors. They were analyzed using mean score, frequencies, and content analysis. Result: 1) The preceptors had an average of 6.3 years of clinical experience, while the practical career of a preceptor averaged 1.9 years. The average period of new nurse education was 5.5 weeks. Each year, 1.9 new nurses were trained per preceptor. 2) Of the preceptors 54.7% had received compensation without formal rules. but 54.1% did not want to serve further as preceptors because of overwork, lack of educational preparation, and lack of compensation. They were looking for solutions for existing problems. 3) Preceptors indicated that the major burden was having to repeat explanations to each preceptee, they were too busy to serve as preceptors, and their colleagues' had excessive expectations.

The purpose of this study was to measure dental hygienists' perception of the usefulness of clinical practice training. A total of 195 dental hygienists participated in the study. The findings of the study were analyzed according to age, the type of hospitals where respondents were working, experience in clinical practices and educational level as follows: 1. There were statistically significant differences in perception of the usefulness of the practice of amalgam filling preparation performed for dental operation among subjects at different ages (p<.01). 2. There were statistically significant differences in perception of the usefulness of the practice of paralleling technique(p<.001), the practice of amalgam filling preparation(p<.01) and the practice of trauma treatment preparation(p<.05) among subjects working at different clinics 3. Significant differences were observed in perception of the usefulness of the practice of sterilization(p<.05), the practice of suction(p<.05), the practice of history taking preparation (p<.01) and the practice of halitosis patient management preparation(p<.05) among subjects with different years of experience in clinical practices. 4. Significant differences were found in perception of the usefulness of the practice of paralleling technique among subjects with different education levels. The findings of the study suggest the need for strengthening education programs for clinical training content and practices which subjects considered important for their job. At the same time, the study emphasizes the need for developing training programs designed to produce dental hygiene preceptor who can provide dental hygienists with practical clinical training in cooperation with college and dental clinics.
