In order to enable students to acquire the abilities set out in the diploma policy, the Faculty of Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences has organized its curriculum according to the following policy, based on the concept of outcome-based education.

1. Based on the "Pharmacy Education Model Core Curriculum", we aim to acquire the six outcomes set forth in the Diploma Policy.
2. Objective 1-A (ethics and professionalism) will be covered broadly in a variety of subjects and fostered throughout all grade levels. Learning methods will include as much practical training and discussion as possible, and evaluation methods will be used that are appropriate for the skills and attitudes required.
3. Learning Objective 1-B (participation in patient-centered medical care through Team Medical Care) aims to build trusting relationships based on rich humanity and improve communication skills, which is a feature of this faculty and is particularly emphasized. We have created a sequential, spiral-type humanity communication education curriculum that accompanies the progression of the academic year, and we implement interprofessional collaborative education (IPE) across medical faculties in collaboration with the Faculty School of Medicine and Faculty of Medical Technology, and we use rubrics to evaluate performance.
4. In the specialized pharmaceutical education centered on Objective 1-C (proper preparation and handling of medicines), Objective 1-D (practice of drug therapy), and Objective 1-E (maintaining the health of the nation and contributing to community medical care), a sequential spiral curriculum is constructed that progresses with each academic year, effectively cultivating the abilities of a scientifically based pharmacist. From the time of enrollment until the first semester of 4th year, students acquire a wide range of specialized pharmaceutical knowledge through lectures, etc., and develop the ability to apply knowledge and problem-solving skills through practical training and exercises. The knowledge acquired is evaluated through objective and essay examinations, and the learning outcomes of the practical training and exercises are evaluated in a manner appropriate to the skills and attitudes. From the second semester 4th year onwards, a more practical learning environment is provided, focusing on integrated exercises and practical training, and knowledge and performance are evaluated.
5. The acquisition objective 1-F (scientific curiosity) is developed mainly through the graduation thesis training (graduation research) in the 4th to 6th years based on the basic pharmaceutical science training in the 1st to 3rd year. In addition to deeper scientific and logical thinking and problem-finding and problem-solving abilities, students will develop an active learning attitude and the ability to improve themselves, and will undergo an evaluation of their knowledge and performance.
6. Regarding the comprehensive learning outcomes required at the time of graduation, knowledge is evaluated by objective examinations and essay examinations, practical ability as a pharmacist is evaluated by portfolios, etc., and graduation research is evaluated by performance evaluation using rubrics.
