Introduction

Pharmaceutical students study a variety of subjects related to the theory of drugs. They learn that drugs can be viewed as both “chemical agents” and “useful medicines for each patient,” and that a good balance between these two is a goal of medicine. In addition, pharmaceutical students need to gain knowledge about current scientific research, acquire problem-solving skills, and learn communication manners and ethics. Our division supports each student so that he or she is able to learn how to maximize their expertise and ability in sophisticated and diverse ways. Also, our staff investigates educational outcomes by using various tools and methods, such as multivariate analysis.
