To identify opinions about pharmacy graduates' science of safety (SoS) educational needs.
Semi-structured interviews were performed with 25 educators and researchers at US pharmacy colleges and schools and 5 individuals from associations engaged in drug safety-related issues.
Themes that emerged from the 30 interviews with key informants included: pharmacists should meet minimum SoS requirements; medication safety education is inconsistent; and barriers exist to improving SoS curricula. Student deficiencies noted included the lack of: student acceptance of a "culture of safety": ability to effectively communicate verbally about medication safety; knowledge of the drug development process; and quality improvement skills. Key informants did not agree on how to address these gaps.
While educators, researchers, and other leaders in drug safety-related issues thought that US colleges and schools of pharmacy covered portions of SoS well, there were perceived deficiencies. Minimum standards should be set to assist with curricular adoption of SoS.
确定对药学毕业生安全科学(SoS)教育需求的意见。
对美国药学学院和学校的 25 名教育工作者和研究人员以及 5 名从事与药物安全相关问题的协会成员进行了半结构化访谈。
从对主要信息提供者的 30 次访谈中得出的主题包括:药剂师应满足最低 SoS 要求;药物安全教育不一致;以及改进 SoS 课程存在障碍。学生的不足之处包括缺乏:学生对“安全文化”的接受程度;有效口头传达药物安全的能力;药物开发过程的知识;和质量改进技能。主要信息提供者不同意如何解决这些差距。
虽然药物安全相关问题的教育工作者、研究人员和其他领导者认为美国药学院和学校涵盖了 SoS 的部分内容,但存在一些不足之处。应制定最低标准,以协助 SoS 的课程采用。
