Graduating pharmacists are applying to postgraduate year 1 (PGY-1) and postgraduate year 2 (PGY-2) programs at a rate that is outpacing the number of programs available. Emergency department (ED) PGY-2 programs are gaining popularity, and competitions are increasing for applicants. Demand for ED pharmacists seems to be steady, although this has not yet been formally evaluated. This survey seeks to clarify current expectations from the ED pharmacist job market and those currently graduating from a PGY-2 ED program.
Electronic surveys were sent via e-mail from January 2019 to February 2019.
Directors of pharmacy (DOPs) and residency program directors (RPDs) of all PGY-2 ED programs available in the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists directory.
Included residency position forecast and trends, program development, pharmacist position forecast and trends, perceptions of pharmacist market, and salary.
RPDs stated that the number of PGY-2 ED resident applicants has increased over the past 5 years. Although RPDs did not plan to expand the number of PGY-2 ED resident positions in their program for the 2019-2020 cycle, they had strong plans to expand in the next 5 years. Although RPDs projected growth in the number of resident positions over the next 5 years, DOPs anticipated the number of full-time equivalents openings for ED pharmacists to remain constant over the next 5 years.
A survey involving PGY-2 ED program RPDs and DOPs found that the market was perceived to be stable by DOPs with more anticipation of growth by RPDs in the number of PGY-2 ED resident positions. Salaries have increased, and demand was perceived to at least be in balance with supply, with RPD respondents generally believing it was easy to find ED pharmacist employment and most PGY-2 ED program graduates finding employment in ED positions following residency.
药剂学毕业生申请研究生第一年（PGY-1）和研究生第二年（PGY-2）课程的速度超过了可用课程的数量。急诊部（ED）PGY-2 课程越来越受欢迎，申请人之间的竞争也越来越激烈。尽管尚未对此进行正式评估，但对 ED 药师的需求似乎保持稳定。这项调查旨在阐明 ED 药师就业市场的当前期望以及目前从 PGY-2 ED 项目毕业的人员的期望。
2019 年 1 月至 2 月，通过电子邮件向所有美国卫生系统药剂师协会目录中提供的 PGY-2 ED 项目的药房主任（DOP）和住院医师项目主任（RPD）发送电子调查。
所有 PGY-2 ED 项目的 RPD 和 DOP。
RPD 表示，过去 5 年来，PGY-2 ED 住院医师申请人的数量有所增加。尽管 RPD 不打算在 2019-2020 学年扩大其 PGY-2 ED 住院医师职位的数量，但他们在未来 5 年内有强烈的扩大计划。尽管 RPD 预计未来 5 年内住院医师职位的数量会增加，但 DOP 预计未来 5 年内 ED 药师的全职等效职位数量将保持不变。
一项涉及 PGY-2 ED 项目 RPD 和 DOP 的调查发现，DOP 认为市场稳定，RPD 预计 PGY-2 ED 住院医师职位数量会增长。薪酬有所增加，需求被认为至少与供应保持平衡，RPD 受访者普遍认为很容易找到 ED 药师的工作，大多数 PGY-2 ED 项目毕业生在住院医师培训后都能在 ED 岗位找到工作。
