Revolutionizing Pharmacist Education in 2026
In a groundbreaking initiative set to launch on January 13, 2026, Nankodo Co., Ltd., headquartered in Bunkyo, Tokyo, will partner with the Medical Academy YTL Co., Ltd. to promote a unique learning experience for pharmacists. This collaboration integrates the best-selling reference book "Today's Therapeutics" with the innovative learning app "Tametoko," aimed at enhancing the continuous education of pharmacists and aiding in their qualification acquisition.
The Learning Goals of the Collaboration
The new system will incorporate tests based on the content from "Today's Therapeutics"—available in book, app, web, and intranet formats—allowing pharmacists to verify their understanding through the "Tametoko" app. This approach not only provides essential knowledge for everyday pharmaceutical practice but also aligns it with qualification requirements, making the overall learning process both practical and relevant.
"Tametoko" has successfully gained popularity among pharmacists, achieving over 10,000 registered users in just six months by offering efficient learning pathways through video and text-based courses. Importantly, it meets the criteria for certified training pharmacists, enabling users to earn credits that contribute to their qualification applications seamlessly.
