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.
