The 43rd Kinki Congress of the Japanese Society of Hospital Pharmacists was held at Piazza Awakai, Shiga Prefectural Citizens Exchange Center, Shiga, Japan, on January 29-30, 2022, with LIVE streaming.

On Saturday, January 29, a medical seminar “Transition of Pharmaceutical Work, Transformation of Pharmacists,” sponsored by Yuyama, was delivered.

Four panelists were invited to reflect on the evolution of hospital pharmacists from 1980, the year of the first conference, to the present, and to share with mid-career and young pharmacists the mindsets of the speakers who have pioneered a new world for themselves.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of the participating doctors and audience members.
