Effective communication is central to patient-centered care in the successful practice of pharmacy. As well as communication skills, a pharmacist should acquire an effective presentation technique to establish interpersonal communication at a more than purely on a verbal level. Most undergraduates of Kobe Pharmaceutical University undergo practical training in hospitals or community pharmacies. It is essential for students to acquire communication skills in order to derive the full benefit from the practical training. We introduced a presentation and communication program at the pre-practical training stage. In the presentation component, students were asked to make a presentation on eight different aspects of a certain drug; in the communication component, students took part in a session where they learned and discussed interview skills, non-verbal communication, open-ended questioning and effective communication. Questionnaires answered by the undergraduates suggested that this training course had made a strong impression on them and had served as a useful guide to acquiring the presentation and communication skills essential in pharmaceutical care.

In Japan, pharmacy students are not well trained in either communicating with patients/customers nor providing information about drugs. At our university, most of fourth year students have practical training in hospital or community pharmacy. To complement this practical training, we have a pre-training program modeling exchanges between pharmacists and their customers. As we have no communication training in our curriculum, we implemented training for providing drug information, while taking the necessity of communication training activities into consideration. The program was as follows : one was role-play at the pharmacy counter and the other was for documenting and supplying information for junior high school students about drug and health information. After providing drug information, the students evaluated each other and discussed the various aspects of the communication activities. Through such training, the students were able to overcome some communication barriers and in the end felt satisfied with their own presentations. This training proved to be a useful way of improving the information and communication skills of pharmacy students.
