To characterize pharmacy program standards and trends in drug information education.
A questionnaire containing 34 questions addressing general demographic characteristics, organization, and content of drug information education was distributed to 86 colleges and schools of pharmacy in the United States using a Web-based survey system.
Sixty colleges responded (73% response rate). All colleges offered a campus-based 6-year first-professional degree PharmD program. Didactic drug information was a required course in over 70% of these schools. Only 51 of the 60 colleges offered an advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) in drug information, and 62% of these did so only on an elective basis.
Although almost all of the PharmD programs in the US include a required course in drug information, the majority do not have a required APPE in this important area.
描述药学专业课程标准以及药物信息教育的趋势。
通过基于网络的调查系统,向美国86所药学院校发放了一份包含34个问题的问卷,这些问题涉及一般人口统计学特征、药物信息教育的组织和内容。
60所院校做出回应(回应率为73%)。所有院校都提供基于校园的6年制第一专业学位药学博士(PharmD)项目。在超过70%的这些学校中,理论性药物信息是一门必修课。60所院校中只有51所提供药物信息方面的高级药学实践经验(APPE),其中62%仅在选修基础上提供。
尽管美国几乎所有的药学博士项目都包括一门药物信息必修课,但大多数在这个重要领域没有必修的高级药学实践经验课程。
