The purpose of this study was to quantify the growth and trends in postgraduate year 2 (PGY2) pharmacy residencies.
Summaries of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Resident Matching Program from 2008 to 2021 were obtained. Only standalone PGY2 residencies were included in the analysis. Descriptive analyses were completed for data related to the programs and positions.
From 2008 to 2021, the total number of ASHP-accredited PGY2 programs increased from 282 to 1,131 (301%) and the overall number of unfilled positions decreased from 22% (77 of 351) to 2% (34 of 1,492). The percentage of positions filled early increased from 23% (81 of 351) to 40% (594 of 1,492) during this time. In 2021, programs with a clinical focus accounted for 91.6% of total positions. The Ambulatory Care category accounted for the largest percentage of all PGY2 residency positions, at 19.2% (287 of 1,492) in 2021 compared to 12.8% (45 of 351) in 2008. The total share of PGY2 residency positions in the Critical Care category decreased from 22.8% (80 of 351) in 2008 to 13.7% (205 of 1,492) in 2021; however, the share of PGY2 residency positions in the Emergency Medicine category increased from 1.4% (5 of 351) to 5.9% (88 of 1,492).
From 2008 to 2021 the total number of PGY2 residencies increased; however, this growth was uneven, as the share of positions within individual residency categories changed. It is important for pharmacy stakeholders to review the current state of postgraduate training and ensure it reflects the goals for future practice.
本研究旨在量化住院药师规范化培训后 2 年(PGY2)培训项目的数量和发展趋势。
获取 2008 年至 2021 年美国卫生系统药剂师协会(ASHP)住院药师匹配项目的总结。仅对分析中包含的独立 PGY2 培训项目进行了描述性分析。
从 2008 年到 2021 年,经 ASHP 认证的 PGY2 项目总数从 282 个增加到 1131 个(增长 301%),未填补职位的总数从 22%(351 个中的 77 个)减少到 2%(1492 个中的 34 个)。在此期间,提前填补职位的比例从 23%(351 个中的 81 个)增加到 40%(1492 个中的 594 个)。2021 年,以临床为重点的项目占总职位的 91.6%。在所有 PGY2 住院医师培训项目中,门诊护理类别所占比例最大,2021 年为 19.2%(1492 个中的 287 个),而 2008 年为 12.8%(351 个中的 45 个)。2008 年,重症监护类别 PGY2 住院医师培训项目的总份额为 22.8%(351 个中的 80 个),到 2021 年降至 13.7%(1492 个中的 205 个);然而,急诊医学类别 PGY2 住院医师培训项目的份额从 1.4%(351 个中的 5 个)增加到 5.9%(1492 个中的 88 个)。
从 2008 年到 2021 年,PGY2 培训项目的总数有所增加;然而,这种增长是不平衡的,因为各个住院医师培训项目类别的职位份额发生了变化。药剂学利益相关者有必要审查研究生培训的现状,并确保其反映未来实践的目标。
