Background: Colleges of Pharmacy in Korea have increased the number of years required for the degree from 4 years to 6 years in 2009. These changes are demanding revolution of education in pharmacology. The center of gravity is moving from medicine to application, theory to work. Problem-Based Learning is "learn to learn" working cooperatively in groups to seek solutions to real problems. PBL process cheers students to think critically to find optimal solution using appropriate learning resources. Method: Eighteen students in college of pharmacy are selected to participate in PBL lecture and take part in the survey about the effect of PBL in clinical pharmacy education. Results: General satisfaction score was high as four on a five-point scale, and students have improved on anxious about communication since the PBL classes compared to before of the lecture (P=0.037).
