To compare the attributes of US colleges and schools of pharmacy and describe the extent of change to the pharmacy education enterprise associated with the addition of new schools.
Attributes analyzed included whether the college or school of pharmacy was old or new, public or private, secular or faith-based, and on or not on an academic health center (AHC) campus; had 3- or 4- year programs; and had PhD students enrolled. PharmD student enrollment-to-faculty ratios and junior-to-senior faculty ratios also were examined.
Of the new colleges/schools, 76% were private and 79% were not located on a campus with an AHC; 6% had PhD enrollment compared with 80% of old colleges/schools. Faculty ratios were related to several college/school attributes, including the presence or absence of PhD students and whether the college/school was public or private.
Attributes of new colleges and schools of pharmacy have changed the overall profile of all colleges and schools of pharmacy. For example, smaller percentages of all colleges and schools of pharmacy are public and have PhD enrollees.
比较美国药学院校的属性,并描述与新学院增加相关的药学教育事业的变化程度。
分析的属性包括药学院是新是旧、公立还是私立、世俗还是基于信仰,以及是否位于学术健康中心(AHC)校园内;是否有3年制或4年制项目;是否招收博士生。还考察了药学博士学生与教师的比例以及初级与高级教师的比例。
在新学院/学校中,76%是私立的,79%不在有AHC的校园内;6%有博士生入学,而旧学院/学校这一比例为80%。教师比例与几个学院/学校的属性相关,包括是否有博士生以及学院/学校是公立还是私立。
新的药学院校的属性改变了所有药学院校的整体概况。例如,所有药学院校中公立且有博士生入学的比例较小。
