With the proposed concept of pharmaceutical care, pharmacy responsible for drug use patterns, that is, hospitals and community pharmacies the pharmacist has undergone major changes in work content. Pharmacists are no longer just a simple swap the functions of play, in fact, pharmacists in monitoring drug therapy is playing an increasing role, especially in adverse drug reaction monitoring and reporting of events to play a role [1]. This change to the teaching content and mode of Pharmacy created a new demand. Particular phase of the teaching practice before graduation related to the effectiveness of Pharmaceutical Education.

Pharmacy graduates of government for medicines management, production, circulation, use of links, with the development of society, other non-public medical institutions and pharmaceutical related industries such as health, health care, rehabilitation, counseling, insurance industry has become a pharmaceutical graduate jobs Health and employment areas. According to incomplete statistics [2], 1994 -1998 National Pharmacy professional graduates, only 10% of staying in school or further education, 8% in research institutes and Drug Control, up to 36% of the graduates to the hospital pharmacy, 19% of the pharmaceutical companies, 10% in the pharmaceutical distribution business. 1999 and 2000 and the proportion of hospital pharmacy graduates has declined about 24%, pharmaceutical companies increased to 28%, 14% of pharmaceutical distribution companies, staying in school or further education still 11%. Graduates can be seen in a larger proportion of the hospital pharmacy. How to regulate the pharmacy undergraduate students under the new situation in the hospital pharmacy internship process, cultivate a competent job drug use qualified people to work as top priority.

A comprehensive understanding of the workflow.

In our current evaluation system, job title, work after 1 year of graduation to take the examination, the examination may be granted by qualified pharmacists. Therefore, the undergraduate students in the attachment phase of the hospital should have a complete understanding of medicine and families familiar with the work flow. After 1 year of work to achieve the requirements and capabilities of pharmacists.

2 reasonable arrangements for training time.

Our School of Pharmacy Practice times from the beginning in January, the end of May, except Spring Festival holiday, thesis defense, a total of 15 weeks internship. Some schools start from November to the end of the second year in March, except for Chinese New Year holiday, a total of 14 weeks, the remaining time to look for work. Pharmacy in the 80 to 90 years Undergraduates time is generally 1 year, and now the arrangements for each school is different. The authors found that the actual teaching for undergraduates practice time should be 1 year, in fact, the last one year under the semester most students find a job, find work in some of the units required by the employer to training, a considerable part of the students need Practice point turn, to stay a part-time students free reign. Therefore, effective training for about 24 weeks, all pharmacy students to understand.

Therefore, we arranged to work four hours to explain the direction.

Professional ethics should be involved in the attachment phase, these things do not study, students generally do not have the warning line, the work in the future staff relations and physician-patient relationship in the treatment will appear on bias. I Department of Pharmacy, the larger hospital, most of pharmacy are involved.

4 Summary.

4.1 undergraduate internship in the basic work of inculcating the idea.

With the development of higher education, undergraduate education, the increasing popularity, more and more graduates, 80,90 some of the graduates should be the basis of the work in the absence of adequate staff can not meet demand. Although education has not been educated to posts after training in this part of the work, but found problems in the basic work, with the idea of ​​the problem and take action inadequate, and in compliance with norms, if not understand the meaning of norms , compliance will be relatively worse, these capabilities can only practice in the training, identify problems from the grass roots work to find solutions to problems, and gradually self-development.

4.2 with the teaching methods should be diversified.

Practice with teaching must have a certain form, or become an intern working odd jobs, learn the basics of stage is not used in practice, practice, he also did not learn new knowledge. Practical forms of learning can be varied, such as: problem-oriented approach based on [4], a common problem in the design, to guide students to find solutions. Group discussion format scenarios, simulated the case of drug treatment [5], the design cases, choose to use drugs [6].

The training process in accordance with Section 3 I graduate, in the training process of the process was continually revised. Since the development of society, industry norms, changes in consumer demand, the ability to work on the needs of employees changing undergraduate education have also changed, especially the attachment phase is the basic quality in the industry and ability, should be given adequate attention, should be standardized.
