[Objectives] Visually impaired is assumed that the taking medicine is difficult. This study aimed to elucidate the actual status of using drugs as part of medication assistance for people with acquired visual disabilities. [Method] We conducted a questionnaire survey of 14 people with acquired visual disabilities who use the Fukuoka Welfare Center for the Disabled. [Results] The mean age of the subjects was 70.2 years. The reading method “voice” was the highest at 12 cases. Thirteen people (93%) managed their medications by themselves. Among medication-related problems, 10 were associated with “vision.” Regarding efforts in using drugs, 6 cases the efforts involved using “vision.” People who always carry around the medication notebooks was two people (14%). Three people (21%) had a family pharmacy. Among requests and dissatisfaction concerning medication notebooks, 8 cases citing dissatisfaction had factors attributable to “pharmacy’s actions.” [Discussion] From the fact that voice in the reading methods are most often used, as a means of communication of information to the acquired visual disabilities, it is considered a method using the sound is suitable. In order to resolve medication difficulties, pharmacies need to make efforts according to the remaining ability of each individual.

We performed waiting time prediction using the data collected from prescription pick-up. A regression equation was used to predict waiting time. An explanatory variable was adopted as “a number of retention prescriptions at the time of acceptance”, “the variety of drug to dispense”and “the presence or absence of a particular task of time-consuming work in computing multiple medications into one package”. Using waiting time as an objective variable, three regression equations were formulated. Method ①: A single regression equation using the number of retention prescriptions with only one explanatory variable. Method ②: Multiple regression equation using factors such as number of prescriptions and variety of drugs to be dispensed as explanatory variables. Method ③: Multiple regression equation using number of prescriptions, variety of drugs and the presence or absence of particular tasks involved in the preparation of the prescription. Compared to the prediction of Method ①, the prediction of Method ② resulted in better accuracy. Compared to Method ①, Method ② resulted in better accuracy, and Method ③ resulted in even better accuracy than Method ②, as predicted.

One of the basic viewpoints of the six-year Pharmacy Educational System is to improve and enhance the current system to a level where we are able to participate more productively in the international arena. It is realized that a practical command of English is required by an academic in order to participate on an international scale or to be able to even play a part in the global exchange of data/information and dialog (journals, magazines, newspapers or direct contact), hence a fundamental knowledge of English is required as stated in the Advanced Educational Guidelines of the six-year Pharmacy Educational System Model Core Curriculum. These basic skills are required as it will be the pharmacists' and drug design specialists' responsibility to respond/participate in the international flow of dialog in the field in the future. The need for a global perspective and attitude from an educational stand point is reflected in the current Model Core Curriculum of the six-year Pharmacy Educational System. In order to respond to the need for Internationalization of Medical Pharmacy which is fast evolving, we are looking at the training of the medical professional who will play an active role globally, and are trying to tackle the subject of International Scientific Exchange in a positive light. In one instance, an Overseas Pharmacy Training Course was offered to first- through fourth-year students in Northern Europe. This was conducted by The Daiichi University of Pharmacy Supporter's Association. A student questionnaire and SGD (Small Group Discussion) were given after the termination of the training. From the results of the questionnaire given to the students who participated: Q7: Did you feel that this overseas training course directly affected your motivation and learning attitude toward the future? Q8: Did you realize the necessity of English as a tool for learning? Q9: Did you learn about the height of purpose of the foreign students? These questions were answered on a scale from 1-5 (1 being low and 5 being high) in terms of rate of satisfaction and comprehension by 100% of the participants. All answers were either a 4(agree) or 5(Strongly agree) reflecting the opinion that this exposure and exchange was well received. The results of the data collected from the students who participated in this Training program have become a key element with which to think about improvements to motivation and learning stimulus. It seemed that the students who participated in this study became a key with which to think about improvements in motivation which studies touch on and the future pharmacy to Northern European levels.

The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan proposed the "Model Core Curriculum for Pharmaceutical Education" to improve pharmaceutical education and to meet the changing health care needs in Japan. One of the basic concepts in the recent six-year Pharmacy Educational System is to enhance the current system to a level where Japanese pharmacists can participate more productively in the international arena. A practical command of English is necessary for the global exchange of data/information and dialog (journals, magazines, newspapers or direct contact) and a requirement stated in the Advanced Educational Guidelines. A global perspective and attitude from an educational perspective is also reflected in the current Model Core Curriculum of the six-year Pharmacy Educational System. This rapidly evolving need for greater internationalization of Medical Pharmacy and training of medical professionals who can play an active role globally in the area of International Scientific Exchange led to the development of an Overseas Pharmacy Training Course offered to first- through fifth-year students. The Daiichi University of Pharmacy Supporter's Association created study tours first to Northern Europe and then in March of 2013 to Canada, where there are high standards in pharmacy practice and collaborative drug therapy monitoring (CDTM) and an emphasis on the Continuing Education of a pharmacist with license updating. This paper summarizes the observations of the pharmacists' role and pharmacy education in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, as well as student participant responses from a questionnaire and small group discussions (SGD) following the study tour.
