Abstract
Objective: In this study, by comparing the views of pharmacists who graduated from 4-year pharmacy degree and 5-year pharmacy degree is discussed whether the 5-year pharmacy degree education achieves its purpose.
Material and Method: A mixed method was used in the research. In the quantitative research, 160 pharmacists graduated from different Pharmacy Faculties participated in the questions asked by the questionnaire technique. In the qualitative research, focus group discussions were held with 24 pharmacists in 3 separate sessions
Result and Discussion: As a result, it has been shown that nanocrystals can perform similar imaging by using less radiocontrast materials with their unique properties. In this way, it is likely to cause fewer side effects and/or toxic effects due to the lower dosage. In the light of these successful results, it is planned to detail this study with clinical trials in the future. As a result of the research, although statistically positive changes were observed in 5-year education compared to 4-year education, it was seen that there are still areas that need improvement. Such as patient-oriented education has increased, but not enough. In addition to classical teaching methods, it was determined that it would be appropriate to use more catchy and problem-based methods, the importance of continuing internship practices and supervision, and finally, career management was better done in 5-year education. It is recommended to complete the identified deficiencies and increase the research.
