“…By completing a certain period of pharmacy internships in a pharmacy department at a qualified teaching hospital, pharmacy students can gain a practical understanding of drug dispensing, drug-management concepts, drug consultation, clinical pharmacy services, etc., to get a broader view of the pharmacy profession [ 5 ]. For example, in the European Union (EU), a pharmacist is a person who has completed a curriculum in university-level pharmaceutical education, including 6-month pharmacy internship, which provides adequate preparation for the unsupervised, full-responsibility provision of pharmacy services in a pharmacy setting [ 6 ]; In the USA, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education requires pharmacy students to complete 300 introductory pharmacy practice experience hours before they start their advanced pharmacy practice experience [ 7 ]; In China, for most undergraduate pharmacy programs, each college has different curriculum setting, but generally include general education courses, foundation specialty courses, professional and service courses, research and individual development courses, and some element of practical experience, such as pharmacy medical practice. Among them, pharmacy students are required to attend the pharmacy practice during the final year of their degree, and the time ranges from 6 months to 1 year [ 1 ].…”

Objective The role of the Hospital Pharmacy Preceptor (HPP) is pivotal in upholding the excellence of experiential training and fostering the professional growth of pharmacy interns. However, there is a lack of studies that provide an overview of pharmacy internships from the perspective of HPP. This study explores the experience and expectations of HPPs regarding existing problems and possible coping strategies in intern teaching. Methods This is a qualitative study that was conducted through individual interviews and focus group discussions. HPPs were invited as participants from large-scale tertiary hospitals in representative provinces of mainland China. Interview and focus group discussion data were analyzed using thematic analysis to see emerging themes from the data. Nvivo 12 was utilized for data management and processing. Results Eight individual interviews and two focus group discussions were conducted, involving 14 HPPs as participants. Upon the examination of the interviews and focus group data, four themes were summarized regarding HPPs’ perceptions: 1) current presenting problems; 2) possible coping strategies; 3) something HPPs should do; 4) something interns should do. Conclusion This study found that from the HPPs’ perspective, the hospital-based pharmacy internship still has some problems from policy to practice, which need to be addressed by the joint efforts of the state, schools, internship bases, pharmacy preceptors, and students.

“…Since 2000, the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education (ACPE) decreed that all colleges of pharmacy had to convert to the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD)as the sole professional degree 31. In the USA, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education requires pharmacy students to complete 300 introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) hours before they start their advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) 46. The ACCP Board of Regents articulated the strategic goal to have all pharmacy graduates complete a residency by the year 2020.…”

The clinical pharmacy practice provided by pharmacists aims to improve the rational use of medication and enhance the quality of life of patients. Although clinical pharmacy in the USA has been developing for almost 60 years, it began in China only in 2005. Despite this, rapid development in clinical pharmacy has been achieved under the support of China’s Ministry of Health. This article aims to compare the differences between, and similarities of, clinical pharmacy practice in China and the USA.
