The Canadian Hospital Pharmacy Residency Board (CHPRB) first introduced accreditation standards to guide the development and maintenance of pharmacy residency programs in the 1970s. These standards have evolved over the years, including a comprehensive revision in 1998. Ongoing quality assessment of residency training is necessary to identify areas for improvement and to ensure that residency training keeps pace with continual changes in pharmacists' roles.
To characterize the practices of graduates of the British Columbia Pharmacy Practice Residency Programs (BCPPRPs), to review the effect of residency training on their careers, and to assess whether the BCPPRPs achieved their educational goals with respect to the 2010 CHPRB accreditation standards.
An 18-question electronic survey was sent by e-mail to all graduates of the BCPPRPs from inception in 1973 to 2009. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, so descriptive, narrative, and formal mixed-methods approaches were used for the analysis.
Of the estimated 490 graduates, 144 (29%) completed the survey. About 95% of respondents (125 of 131) agreed that the BCPPRPs had adequately prepared them for a career in hospital pharmacy practice. A majority strongly or somewhat agreed that their respective programs had allowed them to aquire all core competencies. There was less agreement about the achievement of project management and leadership skills. Analysis of these results by eras (specifically, before and after the 1998 revision of the CHPRB accreditation standards) showed statistically significant improvements in achievement for 2 of the educational outcomes, "providing evidence-based direct patient care as a member of an inter-professional team" (p = 0.001) and "adequate training in literature appraisal" (p = 0.005).
A majority of respondents recognized that their residency program had a substantial impact on their hospital pharmacy careers, especially in terms of developing direct patient care skills. The 2010 standards have introduced a specific outcome related to leadership skills. These results indicate that both the CHPRB and specific residency programs would benefit from discussions clarifying outcomes related to project management skills.
20世纪70年代，加拿大医院药学住院医师培训委员会（CHPRB）首次引入认证标准，以指导药学住院医师培训项目的发展和维持。这些标准多年来不断演变，包括1998年的全面修订。对住院医师培训进行持续的质量评估，对于确定改进领域以及确保住院医师培训跟上药剂师角色的不断变化至关重要。
描述不列颠哥伦比亚省药学实践住院医师培训项目（BCPPRPs）毕业生的实践情况，回顾住院医师培训对其职业生涯的影响，并评估BCPPRPs是否实现了2010年CHPRB认证标准所规定的教育目标。
通过电子邮件向1973年设立至2009年期间BCPPRPs的所有毕业生发送了一份包含18个问题的电子调查问卷。收集了定量和定性数据，因此采用描述性、叙述性和正式的混合方法进行分析。
在估计的490名毕业生中，144名（29%）完成了调查。约95%的受访者（131名中的125名）同意BCPPRPs使他们为医院药学实践职业做好了充分准备。大多数人强烈或 somewhat 同意他们各自的项目使他们获得了所有核心能力。对于项目管理和领导技能的达成情况，意见分歧较小。按时期（具体而言，CHPRB认证标准1998年修订前后）对这些结果进行分析，结果显示在“作为跨专业团队成员提供循证直接患者护理”（p = 0.001）和“文献评估方面的充分培训”（p = 0.005）这2项教育成果的达成上有统计学显著改善。
大多数受访者认识到他们的住院医师培训项目对其医院药学职业生涯有重大影响，特别是在培养直接患者护理技能方面。2010年标准引入了与领导技能相关的特定成果。这些结果表明，CHPRB和特定的住院医师培训项目都将受益于关于明确与项目管理技能相关成果的讨论。
