To determine whether there is a difference in pass rates on the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) between students who did and did not require remediation for deficient course grades.
Student-specific data were collected regarding course grade deficiencies and completion of a comprehensive examination or course for remediation. Student-specific first-time NAPLEX performance data for the graduating classes of 2008, 2009, and 2011were provided by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP).
A significant difference was found in first-time NAPLEX mean pass rates between students who did not need to undergo remediation versus those who did ( 97% vs 70%).
Students requiring remediation for deficient course grades had a lower pass rate on the NAPLEX compared with those who did not require remediation. The difference can be attributed to several factors and therefore further study is needed.
确定在需要或不需要弥补课程成绩缺陷的学生中,其在北美药剂师执照考试(NAPLEX)中的通过率是否存在差异。
收集了有关课程成绩缺陷以及完成综合考试或弥补课程的学生具体数据。国家药剂师协会(NABP)提供了 2008、2009 和 2011 届毕业班级的学生特定的首次 NAPLEX 表现数据。
在不需要进行弥补与需要进行弥补的学生之间,首次 NAPLEX 的平均通过率存在显著差异(97%对 70%)。
与不需要弥补的学生相比,需要弥补课程成绩缺陷的学生在 NAPLEX 中的通过率较低。这种差异可以归因于多种因素,因此需要进一步研究。
