To evaluate the impact of a residency-focused introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) on student perceived knowledge of and attitudes toward postgraduate residency training. Second- and third-year student pharmacists completed a required four-hour experience at a residency training site. Students completed a five-item survey before and after the experience, indicating their perceived knowledge of residency training components as well as their own postgraduate plans. Students also submitted a written reflection following the experience. Paired tests were used to compare pre- and post-survey responses. Qualitative analysis was completed to identify common themes in student reflections and code for positive, neutral, or negative student experience. A total of 276 students completed the Introduction to Postgraduate Residency Training IPPE in summer 2016. Post-experience survey responses indicated a significant increase in students' perceived knowledge of residency programs; however, plans to pursue residency training did not significantly change after completing the experience. Twenty-five independent themes were identified in reading student reflections, with the most common theme (included in 55% of reflections) being that the experience "clarified resident day-to-day responsibilities." The majority (95%) of students perceived the experience as valuable. A residency-focused IPPE increased student pharmacists' perceptions of knowledge about postgraduate residency training and was viewed by students as a beneficial experience.
为了评估以住院医师培训为重点的药学实习（IPPE）对学生对研究生住院医师培训的认知和态度的影响。 二、三年级的药剂学生在住院医师培训基地完成了一项四小时的必修体验。学生在体验前后完成了五项调查，表明他们对住院医师培训组成部分的感知知识以及他们自己的研究生计划。学生还在体验后提交了一份书面反思。配对检验用于比较调查前后的反应。完成了定性分析，以确定学生反思中的常见主题，并对学生体验进行正面、中性或负面的编码。 2016 年夏天，共有 276 名学生完成了研究生住院医师培训简介 IPPE。体验后调查的回应表明，学生对住院医师计划的认知有了显著提高；然而，在完成体验后，继续接受住院医师培训的计划并没有显著改变。在阅读学生反思时确定了 25 个独立的主题，最常见的主题（包括在 55%的反思中）是该体验“阐明了住院医师日常的职责”。大多数（95%）学生认为该体验很有价值。以住院医师培训为重点的 IPPE 提高了药剂学生对研究生住院医师培训的认知，并且被学生视为有益的体验。
