| Abstract | Legally, pharmacist is required to be on duty all the time of service. In Thailand, despite a number ofgovernment agendas have been issued, there are still a problem of actual working phamacist ina phamacy shop. In 2006, the Food and Drug Administration, Ministry of Public Health has implementeda project entitled ?Recruiting pharmacy descendant to study in faculty of pharmacy?. This project wasa special tract to recruit pharmacy descendant into pharmacy degree course in universities. The studentand the pharmacy owner had to sign a contract committing that student had to come to work in apharmacy after graduation. This was a new project which should be evaluated. The evaluation wasconducted by CIPP model (Context ? Input ? Process ? Product Model). Data was collected byinterviewing 7 relevant administers in Faculty of pharmacies, 10 committee members of Drug store club(Thailand), together with document searching and sending questionnaires sent to project?s students. Theevaluation was performed during November 2008 ? June 2009, four years after the initiation of theproject, Context evaluation revealed that the project was launched on the hypothesis that signing contractto commit students to work in the parent?s shop would be effective. It was also found that the universitycould run the project without interfering with the normal student admission into university. For inputevaluation; the project involved several parties which all of them were happy and got benefit from theproject. The criteria of recruiting students into the project were a little bit different between universities, butthey did not affect the goal of the project. Process evaluation revealed that all universities used admissionpaper examination and/or admission interview to recruit the students. But the competition was withingroup of pharmacy descendant only. The project?s students were put into the same class as regularpharmacy students. Product evaluation showed no difference in learning achievement between theproject?s students and regular students. However, the actual number of students was far below the aimedfigure of the project. This under targeted number was important as it may reflect to the failure of theproject?s goal. Having performed this interim project evaluation, a few suggestions were made i.e. onlypharmacy descendant should be eligible to the project, right attitude and correct understanding to the project?s goal should be emphasized to the public and special course to prepare students to be communitypharmacist should be considered. |
