Clinical coordinators are expected to provide leadership in a pharmacy department. Leadership involves influencing the activities or behaviors of another person. Leaders exhibit several characteristics, including an understanding of themselves, the ability to understand human nature, and the ability to adapt to rapid change. The key leadership skills are situational discretion, communications, motivation, decision-making, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. The situational and principle-centered leadership models provide useful tools for the development of leadership skills.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the Korean medical examination protocol, which included 14 questionnaires and 20 medical examination devices.Methods: We conducted a pilot observational study of 90 subjects to measure the time required to fulfill each item of the Korean medical examination, to evaluate patient satisfaction, and to report improvements that can be made to the Korean medical examination protocol based on clinical coordinator and subject feedback.Results: Among the 90 subjects included in the study (59 women and 31 men; mean [standard deviation] age, 37.2 [12.3] years), over 80% intended to receive a Korean medical examination if hospitals provided it and would recommend a Korean medical examination to others. The average time spent on the overall Korean medical examination was approximately 88.0 (21.4) minutes. Three areas for improvements were reported: survey issues, including the number of items, understanding, and readability; error issues in device measurements; and environmental issues affecting the sequence of medical examinations and temperature.Conclusions: Most subjects were satisfied with the Korean medical examination. Future studies should be conducted with larger samples to collect data continuously.

A clinical coordinator deals with a wide variety of people on a daily basis. Whenever two or more people are involved in a process, a relationship is formed. In order to be effective at his or her job, a clinical coordinator must be skilled at building these interpersonal relationships. Although it is easy to identify failed interactions due to lack of these skills, it is often hard to pinpoint exactly what is necessary to develop and strengthen the areas important to building effective relationships. Communication skills become an integral part of the process of interacting with others. These skills may involve actions which are very visible to those around us. They may also involve strengthening an “inner” level that drives our motivation and attitude. The key to developing these skills is practice. It involves the willingness to effect change within ourselves in an attempt to better understand others. The qualities of honesty, sincerity, and consistency are also very important in mastering the art of effective communication. These skills come not so much from having great intellect, as they do from the ability to build trust.
