A survey was conducted of residency program directors (RPDs) to identify the extent of their Board of Pharmaceutical Specialties (BPS) certification and their motivations and incentives to obtain certification, to determine the number of RPDs who meet the new American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) post-graduate year 2 (PGY2) residency standard for board certification, and to investigate the relationships between RPDs' characteristics and BPS certification.
A 35-item, electronic questionnaire was developed to obtain data on the type of residency program or geographic setting and the RPD's practice setting, job title, faculty rank, education and training, length of practice, length of time served as an RPD, and certifications obtained.
Of 717 surveys, 327 were completed. More than one third of all RPDs were currently BPS certified compared with a 30% RPD certification rate according to the BPS directory. A higher percentage of PGY2 RPDs were BPS certified overall compared with PGY1 RPDs. Eighty-two RPDs had completed an ASHP-accredited specialized residency program and were more likely to be BPS certified.
In a survey of RPDs, more than one third of the respondents were BPS certified; professional and personal development was the most common motivation to earn certification. New pharmacy residency accreditation standards did not appear to be an important motivator for certification. Of the RPDs who will require board certification with the new standards, 71% already met the requirement. RPDs who practiced in academia or focused on critical care were more likely to be certified than those with training or positions in community practice or practice management.
对住院医师培训项目主任（RPDs）进行一项调查，以确定他们获得药学专业委员会（BPS）认证的程度、获得认证的动机和激励因素，确定符合美国卫生系统药师协会（ASHP）研究生二年级（PGY2）住院医师培训委员会认证新标准的RPDs数量，并调查RPDs的特征与BPS认证之间的关系。
设计了一份包含35个条目的电子问卷，以获取有关住院医师培训项目类型或地理环境以及RPDs的执业环境、职位头衔、教师职级、教育与培训、执业时长、担任RPD的时长以及获得的认证等数据。
在717份调查问卷中，327份已完成。与BPS名录中30%的RPD认证率相比，超过三分之一的RPD目前获得了BPS认证。总体而言，PGY2的RPD获得BPS认证的比例高于PGY1的RPD。82名RPD完成了ASHP认可的专科住院医师培训项目，且更有可能获得BPS认证。
在对RPDs的一项调查中，超过三分之一的受访者获得了BPS认证；职业和个人发展是获得认证最常见的动机。新的药学住院医师培训认证标准似乎并不是认证的重要激励因素。在需要根据新标准进行委员会认证的RPDs中，71%已经符合要求。在学术界执业或专注于重症护理的RPDs比那些在社区执业或执业管理方面接受培训或担任相关职位的人更有可能获得认证。
