To identify the methods used by US colleges and schools of pharmacy to prepare student pharmacists for academic careers. An 18-item survey instrument was developed and distributed to US colleges and schools of pharmacy. Representatives were asked about faculty responsibilities, experiences in academia currently offered to student pharmacists, and representatives' perception of their student pharmacists' preparedness for careers in academia, including barriers in current programming. Representatives from 96 colleges/schools responded. The vast majority (96%) provided academia-focused advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs), 40% provided didactic coursework in academia, 28% offered a longitudinal research track, and 42% offered academia-focused independent studies. Teaching methods and creating learning objectives were the most common pedagogical content, while assessment activities were diverse. Time was the most prevalent barrier to providing training for academic careers; however, degree of student pharmacist interest, faculty inexperience, and lack of leadership support were also commonly reported. Colleges and schools of pharmacy vary in the extent to which they prepare student pharmacists for careers in academia. Advanced pharmacy practice experiences were the most common method of training offered. Standardization of training for academia may better promote this career path to student pharmacists.
确定美国药学院校培养学生药剂师从事学术职业所采用的方法。开发了一份包含18个条目的调查问卷，并分发给美国药学院校。向代表们询问了教师职责、目前为学生药剂师提供的学术经历，以及代表们对其学生药剂师为学术职业做好准备的看法，包括当前课程设置中的障碍。96所院校的代表做出了回应。绝大多数（96%）提供以学术为重点的高级药学实践经验（APPEs），40%提供学术方面的理论课程，28%提供纵向研究路径，42%提供以学术为重点的独立研究。教学方法和制定学习目标是最常见的教学内容，而评估活动则多种多样。时间是为学术职业提供培训最普遍的障碍；然而，学生药剂师的兴趣程度、教师经验不足以及缺乏领导支持也经常被提及。药学院校在培养学生药剂师从事学术职业的程度上存在差异。高级药学实践经验是最常见的培训方式。学术培训的标准化可能会更好地向学生药剂师推广这条职业道路。
