In the new program, students in the fifth year of the pharmacy course undergo a long-term practice experience (pharmacy clerkship) in community pharmacy and hospital pharmacy settings as compulsory 20 course credits.

The finding obtained from our questionnaires indicated that many universities had already planned to execute new approaches, such as an advanced practice at outpatient units, an with medical students, and so on.
