France is regarded as the most advanced country in pharmaceutical education and in this paper, we overview the history and present state of pharmaceutical education in the country. The French pharmaceutical education system was established two centuries ago under the principle of "Education of the pharmacist, by the pharmacist and for the pharmacist". Its major features are on-site practical training and education of pharmacy based on scientific theory, which are rooted in the history of pharmacists' efforts to firmly establish their economic and social statuses. These features are also a product of rationalism and respect for scientific theory in society stemming from the French Revolution which broke up the feudal hierarchy, producing a model for modern civil society emphasizing freedom and equality. Further, under an intern system, which Mr. Takashi Tatsuno, Honorable President of La Societe Franco-Japonaise de Pharmacie has dubbed "Fourth Revolution in French Pharmacy", pharmacists accompany doctors on their hospital rounds dispensing drugs whose types and dosages are matched to the patient's condition. Doing this has enabled training common to pharmacists, surgeons and physicians to be developed. With a 6-year pharmaceutical education curriculum about to start in Japan, it is good time to study the French system of pharmaceutical education, since France is a pioneer in both basic pharmacy education and long-term on-site practical training. Upon examining the present situation of French pharmaceutical education, it seemed that it could offer solutions to some of the major problems we are facing in pharmaceutical education in Japan, which are mentioned in "Toward the Realization of Six-Year Courses in Pharmaceutical Education" -Current Situation and Prospects-.
