Article Abstract
Introduction: The spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has accelerated the provision of medical services using video conferencing systems. Hence, educational institutions are required to develop human resources that can utilize Internet communication technology in clinical settings.
Objectives: This study aimed to create a learning program incorporating an online video conferencing environment into medication counseling clinical preparatory education for pharmacy students and measure its educational effectiveness. Specifically, we compared pharmacy students' medication instruction abilities using an online video conferencing system and the characteristics of face-to-face and online medication instruction before and after the program.
Setting: Fourth-year students of the School of Pharmacy at Shujitsu University in Okayama Japan for the academic year 2023-2024.
Measurement: To evaluate the program, we compared changes in learners' abilities and the characteristics of face-to-face and online medication instruction as recognized by the learners.
Results: Participants' abilities improved after completing the program. A characteristic of online medication counseling using a videoconferencing system is that, as in the real world, it is more difficult to maintain a patient's concentration than in face-to-face counseling. However, sharing clinical test results and checking the medication status may be more useful online than during face-to-face counseling.
Conclusion: Our clinical preparatory education program for medication instruction, which incorporates an online context into learning strategies, has been shown to closely mimic real-life online medication instruction.

In resource-limited settings in Africa, which harbour the greatest burden of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) globally, poor care outcomes are driven in part, by a lack of trained healthcare providers (HCP) and an absence of context-specific treatment guidelines appropriate to the level of healthcare facility. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of a structured training program on HCP's knowledge of SCD in Ghana. This was prospective cross-sectional study involving HCPs from 46 health facilities from 4 out of 16 regions in Ghana.
