To describe the integration of science of safety (SoS) topics in doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) curricula of US colleges and schools of pharmacy.
A questionnaire that contained items pertaining to what and how SoS topics are taught in PharmD curricula was e-mailed to representatives at 107 US colleges and schools of pharmacy.
The majority of the colleges and schools responding indicated that they had integrated SoS topics into their curriculum, however, some gaps (eg, teaching students about communicating risk, Food and Drug Administration [FDA] Sentinel Initiative, utilizing patient databases) were identified that need to be addressed.
The FDA and the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) should continue to collaborate to develop resources needed to ensure that topics proposed by the FDA in their SoS framework are taught at all colleges and schools of pharmacy.
描述美国药学院校的药学博士(PharmD)课程中安全科学(SoS)主题的整合情况。
向 107 所美国药学院校的代表发送了一份包含有关 SoS 主题在 PharmD 课程中教授内容和方式的问卷。
大多数回应的学院和学校表示已将 SoS 主题纳入其课程,但发现了一些需要解决的差距(例如,向学生教授有关沟通风险、食品和药物管理局(FDA)Sentinel 倡议、利用患者数据库的知识)。
FDA 和美国药学院协会(AACP)应继续合作,开发所需资源,以确保 FDA 在其 SoS 框架中提出的主题在所有药学院校得到教授。
