To examine the type and extent of pharmacoepidemiology education offered by US colleges and schools of pharmacy.
An electronic Web-survey was sent to all 89 US colleges and schools of pharmacy between October 2005 and January 2006 to examine the type and extent of pharmacoepidemiology education offered to professional (PharmD) and graduate (MS/PhD) students.
The response rate was 100%. Of the 89 schools surveyed, 69 (78%) provided pharmacoepidemiology education to their professional students. A mean of 119 (+/-60) PharmD students per college/school per year received some pharmacoepidemiology education (range 1-60 classroom hours; median 10 hours). Thirty-five schools (39%) provided education to a mean of 6 (+/-5) graduate students (range 2-135 classroom hours; median 15 hours).
A majority of US colleges and schools of pharmacy offer some pharmacoepidemiology education in their curriculum. However, the topics offered by each school and number of classroom hours varied at both the professional and graduate level.
研究美国药学院校提供的药物流行病学教育的类型和程度。
在2005年10月至2006年1月期间,向美国所有89所药学院校发送了电子网络调查问卷,以调查向专业(药学博士)和研究生(理学硕士/哲学博士)提供的药物流行病学教育的类型和程度。
回复率为100%。在接受调查的89所学校中,69所(78%)向其专业学生提供了药物流行病学教育。每所学院/学校每年平均有119名(±60)药学博士学生接受了一些药物流行病学教育(范围为1至60课堂学时;中位数为10小时)。35所学校(39%)向平均6名(±5)研究生提供了教育(范围为2至135课堂学时;中位数为15小时)。
美国大多数药学院校在其课程中提供了一些药物流行病学教育。然而,各学校提供的主题和课堂学时数量在专业和研究生层面均有所不同。
