Abstract:
The paper summarized clinical pharmacy programs at China Pharmaceutical University, Samford University, Kumamoto University, and Seoul National University based on three key domains: training objectives, curriculum, and pharmacy practice experience. The curriculum offered at China Pharmaceutical University more meets the requirements of Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education standards for the Doctor of Pharmacy program than Kumamoto University and Seoul National University, but more attention should be paid to active learning, curriculum integration, and engagement with stakeholders and education policymakers to drive further improvement.
