 note = {text, This study illustrates and analyzes the knowledge of general academic and specialized pharmaceutical vocabulary that Japanese pharmacy students have. The authors used the pharmaceutical word lists developed by two previous studies by Grabowski (2015) and Heidari et al. (2020) as the database and developed a pharmaceutical vocabulary test. As the target words, 100 words appearing in pharmaceutical journals and textbooks that are essential for understanding content, were selected. A total of 232 Japanese university students (111 pharmacy major and 121 non-pharmacy major students) were tested on their recognition of pharmaceutical words with the use of 100 multiple-choice questions with 6 option responses each. The results of the test were analyzed by using the t-test and Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation coefficient (Cohen, 1988) to examine the relationship between the test scores of the pharmacy and non-pharmacy students. The results showed that pharmacy students had acquired a significantly larger number of words than non-pharmacy students. There was a high degree of similarity between the difficulty order in the vocabulary among the pharmacy students and the non-pharmacy students, suggesting that pharmacy students acquire vocabulary in a similar order to nonpharmacy students. Highly specialized pharmaceutical words, especially those which are used in clinical trial protocols, seem difficult for students to learn.},
