To determine the extent of pharmacoeconomics education at US pharmacy colleges and schools in 2007.
An e-mail survey was developed and sent to pharmacoeconomics instructors at all US colleges of pharmacy.
Of the 90 colleges and schools of pharmacy that completed the survey, 7 colleges and schools did not currently have someone teaching pharmacoeconomics (eg, new school or looking for instructor). For the 83 colleges and schools that had an instructor who taught pharmacoeconomics, 69 covered pharmacoeconomic-related topics in a required course only; 5, in an elective course only; and 9, in both a required and elective course. The number of hours of pharmacoeconomic-related topics presented in required courses ranged from 1 to 48 hours (mean = 21 +/- 14; median = 19).
Pharmacoeconomics education courses are offered at the majority of US colleges and schools of pharmacy. There was a wide range of hours devoted to pharmacoeconomic-related topics and the topics covered in these colleges and schools varied. Although the majority of US colleges and schools of pharmacy offer pharmacoeconomics courses, official guidelines are needed for the specific aspects and topics that should be covered in the classroom.
确定2007年美国药学院校的药物经济学教育程度。
设计了一项电子邮件调查，并发送给了美国所有药学院的药物经济学教师。
在完成调查的90所药学院校中，有7所院校目前没有教师讲授药物经济学（例如，新学校或正在寻找教师）。对于有教师讲授药物经济学的83所院校，69所院校仅在必修课中涵盖药物经济学相关主题；5所院校仅在选修课中涵盖；9所院校在必修课和选修课中均涵盖。必修课中讲授药物经济学相关主题的时长从1小时到48小时不等（平均 = 21 ± 14；中位数 = 19）。
美国大多数药学院校都开设了药物经济学教育课程。用于药物经济学相关主题的时长差异很大，这些院校所涵盖的主题也各不相同。尽管美国大多数药学院校都提供药物经济学课程，但课堂上应涵盖的具体方面和主题需要官方指导方针。
