The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of board-certified psychiatric pharmacist (BCPP)-led psychopharmacology lectures to psychiatry residents and fellows.
Surveys were administered to psychiatry residents and geriatric psychiatry fellows at two teaching institutions between Fall 2021 and Spring 2023, including two distinct residency programs and one fellowship program. The survey consisted of three quantitative questions and one qualitative question soliciting open-ended constructive feedback.
Of 39 participants (response rate: 80%), 100% strongly agreed that learning from a BCPP enhanced their learning of psychopharmacology concepts. Additionally, 100% strongly agreed they would recommend psychopharmacology lectures from a BCPP to other psychiatry residents and that concepts taught by the BCPP were applicable to their clinical practice. Qualitative feedback indicated valuing pharmacist input and stated preference to learn from medication-experts on psychopharmacology topics.
Integrating BCPPs into psychiatry resident/fellow didactic training is well received by psychiatry residents and may simultaneously enhance education of psychopharmacologic concepts in addition to enrichment of interprofessional experiences by increased routine exposure to working directly with a clinical pharmacist. Program directors are encouraged to meet with BCPPs at their respective institutions to discuss opportunities for collaboration.
本研究旨在探讨由持牌精神科药剂师（BCPP）主导的精神药理学讲座对精神科住院医师和研究员的影响。
在 2021 年秋季至 2023 年春季期间，在两所教学机构对精神科住院医师和老年精神病学研究员进行了调查，包括两个不同的住院医师培训计划和一个研究员培训计划。该调查包括三个定量问题和一个定性问题，征求有关建设性反馈的开放性意见。
在 39 名参与者中（回应率：80%），100%强烈同意从 BCPP 学习增强了他们对精神药理学概念的学习。此外，100%强烈同意他们将向其他精神科住院医师推荐由 BCPP 进行的精神药理学讲座，并且 BCPP 教授的概念适用于他们的临床实践。定性反馈表明重视药剂师的意见，并表示希望从药物专家那里学习精神药理学主题。
将 BCPP 纳入精神科住院医师/研究员的理论培训受到精神科住院医师的欢迎，除了通过增加与临床药剂师直接合作的日常接触来丰富跨专业经验外，还可能同时增强精神药理学概念的教育。鼓励项目主任与他们各自机构的 BCPP 会面，讨论合作机会。
