To assess pharmacy informatics education, identify current competencies, and develop a foundational set of recommendations.
Accredited pharmacy programs were contacted. Data were collected using a mixed-mode procedure. Didactic and experiential syllabi were analyzed for compliance with informatics competencies in Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) Standards 2007.
Thirty-two of 89 schools responded; 25 provided syllabi (36% response rate, 28% submission rate). Twenty-seven didactic and 9 experiential syllabi were received. The syllabi contained a diverse mix of educational content, some of which represented pharmacy informatics content as defined by ACPE. Schools are teaching clinical system terminology, applications, and evaluation.
Many professional programs are not providing instruction in pharmacy informatics. There may be confusion within the academy/profession between pharmacy informatics and drug information practice. Much work is required for programs to become compliant with the ACPE 2007 pharmacy informatics competencies.
评估药学信息学教育，确定当前的能力要求，并制定一套基础建议。
联系了获得认证的药学专业项目。采用混合模式程序收集数据。分析理论教学和实践教学大纲是否符合药学教育认证委员会（ACPE）2007年标准中的信息学能力要求。
89所学校中有32所做出回应；25所提供了教学大纲（回复率36%，提交率28%）。收到了27份理论教学大纲和9份实践教学大纲。这些教学大纲包含了各种各样的教育内容，其中一些代表了ACPE所定义的药学信息学内容。学校正在教授临床系统术语、应用和评估。
许多专业项目未提供药学信息学教学。学术界/专业领域内可能在药学信息学和药物信息实践之间存在混淆。各项目要符合ACPE 2007年药学信息学能力要求还需要做大量工作。
