The installation of nursing universities has rapidly increased from the late 1990s, there are 263 institutions in Japan as of 2018. Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacology education in undergraduate and postgraduate nursing universities is highly important, however, the lack of human resources involved in pharmacology education due to the rapid increase of nursing universities cannot be denied. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan established a " Nursing education model・core・curriculum" for quality assurance of education at nursing universities in 2017. To meet the needs of a new phase of nursing education, re-examination of curriculum of Pharmacology education for nurses is necessary.
Doctors give prescriptions after considering the medical conditions of patients based on the concept of Personal drug (P-Drug). Pharmacists check the prescription, and give information about the effects of the drugs to the patients, including their side effects. Nurses observe patients to detect the effects and side effects of the administered drugs, and then report these to doctors and pharmacists. Each specialist plays a role, allowing medication to be completed. However, medication errors by nurses unfortunately caused because of lack of knowledge of therapeutic drugs. 
In this symposium, I would like to propose a novel concept "integrated drug (iDrug)" and "simple medication guide" based on "Patient-oriented Pharmacology" for nursing Pharmacology education to maintain high level of safety medication.
