Several training programs for the pharmacy staff in the Pharmacy Department of Beijing Union Medical College Hospital were implemented over 1910's to 1942, such as apprenticeships, prior courses on pharmaceutical sciences,vocational training, study overseas, and developing the Beiping Pharmacy Evening School in collaboration with the North China Pharmaceutical Society around the 1930's. These programs explored training models for the hospital, developed practical talent with competence ensuring the needs and requirements within the hospital, established practical education on pharmacy in Beiping and therefore contributed to promoting future pharmaceutical training systems in China.
从协和医学堂创办至北京协和医院1942年因日本侵略临时关闭，前后30余年，北京协和医院药剂科采用学徒制、药学预科、出国学习、参与创办北平药学讲习所等多种形式，探索本院药学实用型人才的培养，不仅培养出了数名中国本土药学家，保证了医院职工的执业胜任力；而且还支持医院职工面向社会兴办药学职业教育，为中国培养了一批药学专业人员。.
