Current Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) Standards are not explicit regarding geriatrics content. The objective of this review is to describe published examples of how care for older adults is integrated into Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) curricula at accredited schools/colleges of pharmacy across the United States.
PubMed and Embase databases were searched. Manuscripts addressing care for older adults in pharmacy curriculum in the United States were included in the review.
Thirteen PharmD programs have thirteen published examples of how geriatric care was integrated into their curriculum. The most common way geriatric care is integrated into PharmD programs is through Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE) followed by existing course content and elective course content.
There is a wide variety of curriculum strategies currently being utilized to incorporate geriatric education into PharmD programs in the United States. However, this may not be sufficient to support the care of the growing older adult population.
目前药学教育认证委员会（ACPE）的标准在老年医学内容方面并不明确。本综述的目的是描述已发表的关于如何将老年人护理纳入美国各地经认证的药学院药学博士（PharmD）课程的示例。
检索了PubMed和Embase数据库。纳入了涉及美国药学课程中老年人护理的手稿进行综述。
13个药学博士项目有13个已发表的关于如何将老年护理纳入其课程的示例。将老年护理纳入药学博士项目最常见的方式是通过药学实践入门经验（IPPE），其次是现有课程内容和选修课程内容。
目前美国有各种各样的课程策略被用于将老年医学教育纳入药学博士项目。然而，这可能不足以支持对不断增长的老年人口的护理。
