To determine the prevalence, characteristics, and use of professional technical standards among colleges and schools of pharmacy accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).
The Web site of every college and school of pharmacy accredited by ACPE was searched to identify information regarding the availability, content, and use of technical standards and to obtain demographic information.
Information was obtained from all of the 114 colleges and schools of pharmacy and 67 (59%) had technical standards in place. Common themes for technical standards were: observation; communication; motor; intellectual, conceptual, integrative and quantitative abilities; and behavioral and social attributes. Of those colleges and schools with technical standards, 61 (91%) had standards that addressed all 5 of these themes and 34 (51%) specified that the technical standards were used in their admission, progression, and graduation procedures.
More than half of the colleges and schools of pharmacy examined in this study have technical standards; however, 41% have yet to develop and implement them. Colleges and schools of pharmacy looking for guidance in technical standards development could use the technical standards themes identified in this study.
确定经药学教育认证委员会(ACPE)认证的药学院校中专业技术标准的流行程度、特征和使用情况。
搜索了经 ACPE 认证的每所药学院校的网站,以确定有关技术标准的可用性、内容和使用情况,并获取人口统计学信息。
从 114 所药学院校中获得了信息,其中 67 所(59%)制定了技术标准。技术标准的常见主题包括:观察;沟通;运动;智力、概念、综合和定量能力;以及行为和社会属性。在制定技术标准的院校中,有 61 所(91%)的标准涵盖了所有这 5 个主题,有 34 所(51%)规定技术标准用于其入学、晋级和毕业程序。
在本研究中检查的药学院校中,超过一半的院校制定了技术标准;然而,仍有 41%尚未制定和实施这些标准。在技术标准制定方面寻求指导的药学院校可以使用本研究中确定的技术标准主题。
