Part-time and job-share policies may allow pharmacy practice faculty members to achieve work/life balance while pursuing their professional goals. Precedent for alternative work schedules within the health professions community can be found throughout the literature; however, little is known about part-time roles in academic pharmacy. The design and implementation of 3 different alternative faculty appointments are described and department chair and faculty perspectives are shared. Teaching, service, and scholarship responsibilities, as well as outcomes before and after changes in appointment, are described. Advantages and disadvantages, including advice for other colleges of pharmacy, are presented. Alternate appointments may be a key factor in retaining highly qualified faculty members who continue to bring their expertise to teaching, precepting, and scholarship within a college or school of pharmacy.
兼职和工作分担政策可能使药学实践教员在追求职业目标的同时实现工作与生活的平衡。整个文献中都能找到卫生专业领域替代工作时间表的先例；然而，对于学术药学领域的兼职岗位却知之甚少。本文描述了三种不同的替代教员任命的设计与实施，并分享了系主任和教员的观点。阐述了教学、服务和学术职责，以及任命变更前后的成果。还介绍了利弊，包括对其他药学院的建议。替代任命可能是留住高素质教员的关键因素，这些教员会继续在药学院校的教学、指导和学术研究中贡献自己的专业知识。
