To assess the prevalence and characteristics of curriculum in dual doctor of pharmacy (PharmD)/master of public health (MPH) degree programs offered by US pharmacy programs.
An 18-item survey instrument was developed and distributed online to faculty members at US colleges and schools of pharmacy.
Of the 110 colleges and schools that responded, 23 (21%) offered a PharmD/MPH degree. Common characteristics of these 23 programs included current PharmD program structure (3 + 1 year), early curricular recruitment, small enrollment, and interdisciplinary coursework occurring online and in the classroom. The impact of the dual degree on the curriculum and longevity of the dual-degree programs varied. About 55% of responding programs without a formal dual-degree program reported that additional public health training was available.
Twenty-one percent of colleges and schools of pharmacy offer a combined PharmD/MPH dual degree. Most programs required an additional 1 or 2 semesters to complete both degrees.
评估美国药学项目提供的双药学博士（PharmD）/公共卫生硕士（MPH）学位课程的课程设置的流行程度和特点。
开发了一个包含 18 个项目的调查工具，并在线分发给美国药学院校的教师。
在 110 所做出回应的学院和学校中，有 23 所（21%）提供 PharmD/MPH 学位。这些 23 个项目的共同特点包括当前的 PharmD 项目结构（3+1 年制）、早期课程招生、招生规模小以及在线和课堂上进行的跨学科课程。双学位对课程和双学位项目的持续时间的影响各不相同。约 55%的有回应的没有正式双学位课程的项目报告说，有额外的公共卫生培训课程。
21%的药学院校提供联合 PharmD/MPH 双学位。大多数项目需要额外的 1 到 2 个学期才能完成两个学位。
