title: [Reconsideration of education and research for postgraduate courses in pharmaceutical universities].
abstract: Several problems of education and research for postgraduate courses in pharmaceutical universities are described. Some problems related to the foundation period of postgraduate courses in pharmaceutical universities in the 1950s are considered. The most important problem was that several professors in postgraduate courses could not secure enough approval to become authorized. Presented are some academic research by laboratories in the pharmaceutical industry in the 1950s-60s, education and research in the 1960s-70s are considered, and model curriculums of pharmaceutical postgraduate courses are presented. Medical and pharmaceutical education and some new fields of research have been carried out in the 1990s, which has helped progress the separation of prescription from dispensing. Medico-pharmaceutical science as a postgraduate course has been established in several universities since the turn of the century. Some new plans for education and research in postgraduate courses in pharmaceutical universities are proposed.
