The Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy<\/a> (DKICP<\/abbr>) at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> has signed a partnership with Japan’s Yokohama University of Pharmacy<\/a> that will expand the horizons of students in both countries.<\/p>\n

The agreement states covers the fourth-year of experiential training for pharmacy students, called Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences, as well as pharmaceutical care, pharmaceutical sciences research and the organization of joint research projects.<\/p>\n

“This is a great example of how Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Island acts as a logical bridge between the United States and Asia as a whole,” said DKICP<\/abbr> Interim Dean Carolyn Ma<\/strong>. “UH<\/abbr> Hilo already has several agreements with universities in Japan, from Meio University in Okinawa to Matsuyama University in Matsuyama, Ehime, Japan. We are optimistic that this is a continuation of an already strong educational relationship.”<\/p>\n

The International Exchange Program on Pharmaceutical Education, Research and Practical Training will allow students at UH<\/abbr> Hilo to set up six weeks of training during their fourth year in a four-year program with an approved licensed pharmacist in Japan. Likewise, students in Japan can come to UH<\/abbr> Hilo to earn their academic requirements.<\/p>\n

Yokohama University of Pharmacy is part of the Tsuzuki Education Group<\/a>, a consortium of more than 20 universities and colleges in Japan, including three colleges of pharmacy. Representatives from the consortium visited DKICP<\/abbr> in May to tour the campus and discuss possibilities for partnerships.<\/p>\n
