OBJECTIVE: To provide reference for the training and evaluation for hospital pharmacy teachers. METHODS: 19 pharmacists-in-charge in the pharmacy department of our hospital received training of teaching ability, and theory test and multi-station practical technique test were conducted after training. The items examined in theory test included training rules, the professional knowledge of pharmacy and teaching method; the content of practical technique test included checking prescriptions/medication orders, drug dispensing, medication management, patient education and ADR report. Each teacher’s test included 3 of 5 items above based on different responsibilities. All scores were analyzed and summarized. RESULTS: The score of practical technique test was higher than the score of theory test; teachers’grasp of training rules was the worst in theory test; in practical technique test, the score of medication management was the highest for teachers worked at the post of dispensing; while the score of patient education was higher than the score of ADR report for teachers who were clinical pharmacists, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In order to improve teaching ability, teachers should receive intensive training on the training rules and the professional knowledge of pharmacy; the multi-station examination mode will be improved in many modes such as increasing stations, standardized test paper and standardized trainees; meanwhile, the young pharmacists should be encouraged for positive commitment to the teaching work and continuously enriched with experience.
