The frequency of chief resident positions in pharmacy residency programs and the roles and responsibilities of such chief residents are described.
A Web-based questionnaire was developed to determine the current state and interest of residency program directors (RPDs) in chief residency programs within pharmacy residency training. RPDs were identified through directories of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists and the American College of Clinical Pharmacy.
Of the 892 surveys distributed, 34 were returned as undeliverable and 335 responses were received (effective response rate, 39.0%). Over one quarter of respondents (28.4%) had a chief resident, resident-in-charge, or other leadership position for residents at their institution. Institutions with existing chief resident programs had larger programs. Common duties of the chief resident included serving as a liaison between residents and the RPD (91.4%), coordinating resident meetings (87.1%), coordinating educational programming (45.2%), and managing residents' schedules (44.1%). RPDs indicated interest in training programs designed to develop management skills and enhance leadership potential (72.7%). Of those RPDs whose institutions did not off er a chief resident position, 22% expressed interest in developing such a position. Programs with four or more residents were more likely to be interested in developing a chief residency program than those with smaller programs (34.3% versus 13.2%, p < 0.001).
The majority of RPDs stated that their residency programs do not currently have a chief resident position. Programs with a greater number of pharmacy residents were more likely to have a current chief resident position or interest in establishing a chief resident position.
描述药学住院医师培训项目中住院总医师职位的频率以及此类住院总医师的角色和职责。
开发了一份基于网络的调查问卷，以确定住院医师培训项目主任（RPD）对药学住院医师培训中住院总医师项目的现状和兴趣。通过美国卫生系统药师协会和美国临床药师学院的名录确定RPD。
在分发的892份调查问卷中，34份因无法投递而退回，共收到335份回复（有效回复率为39.0%）。超过四分之一的受访者（28.4%）在其机构中设有住院总医师、主管住院医师或其他住院医师领导职位。设有住院总医师项目的机构规模更大。住院总医师的常见职责包括担任住院医师与RPD之间的联络人（91.4%）、协调住院医师会议（87.1%）、协调教育课程（45.2%）以及管理住院医师的日程安排（44.1%）。RPD表示对旨在培养管理技能和提升领导潜力的培训项目感兴趣（72.7%）。在那些其机构未设住院总医师职位的RPD中，22%表示有兴趣设立这样一个职位。有四名或更多住院医师的项目比规模较小的项目更有可能对设立住院总医师项目感兴趣（34.3%对13.2%，p<0.001）。
大多数RPD表示他们的住院医师培训项目目前没有住院总医师职位。药学住院医师人数较多的项目更有可能设有当前的住院总医师职位或有兴趣设立住院总医师职位。
