To develop a mathematical model for determining faculty workload at a college of pharmacy with a team-based learning curriculum. Using faculty provided data, our model calculated activity and weighted means in teaching, scholarship and service. Subsequently, these data were used to develop departmental and institutional workload models. For the pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences department, percent faculty activity mean values were greatest for service followed by teaching and scholarship. These values in the clinical sciences department were greatest for teaching followed by service and scholarship. Overall, the institutional workload model had the largest maximum faculty activity value for teaching, followed by service and then scholarship. A novel faculty workload model proved to be effective in optimizing faculty workload within a college of pharmacy. Since the workload analysis, the faculty service commitment has been substantially changed, by reducing the number of committees at our institution. This type of workload analysis may particularly benefit colleges of pharmacy that employ a team based learning curriculum, with a large time commitment to teaching.
开发一个数学模型，用于确定采用基于团队学习课程的药学院教师工作量。利用教师提供的数据，我们的模型计算了教学、学术和服务方面的活动及加权平均值。随后，这些数据被用于开发部门和机构的工作量模型。对于制药与生物医学科学系，教师活动平均百分比在服务方面最高，其次是教学和学术。临床科学系的这些值在教学方面最高，其次是服务和学术。总体而言，机构工作量模型中教师教学活动的最大数值最大，其次是服务，然后是学术。一个新颖的教师工作量模型被证明在优化药学院教师工作量方面是有效的。自进行工作量分析以来，通过减少我们机构的委员会数量，教师的服务投入已大幅改变。这种工作量分析可能对采用基于团队学习课程且在教学上投入大量时间的药学院特别有益。
