We conducted a survey of 83 colleges of pharmacy in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada to determine the status of didactic and experiential paediatric pharmacotherapy teaching in entry-level programmes. Sixty-five completed surveys (54 from BS programmes and 11 from entry-level PharmD programmes) were received and analysed. Forty-four (81.5%) BS programmes and 11 (100%) of the entry-level PharmD programmes provide an average of 5.1 and 9.2 h of didactic paediatric teaching, respectively. While all of the entry-level PharmD programmes offered experiential rotations in paediatrics, only 38 (70%) provided BS students with an opportunity to receive paediatric experiential training. Colleges of pharmacy should re-evaluate their curricula to ensure sufficient preparation of graduates in paediatric pharmacotherapy for entry-level positions.
我们对美国、波多黎各和加拿大的83所药学院进行了一项调查，以确定入门级课程中理论和实践儿科药物治疗教学的现状。我们收到并分析了65份完整的调查问卷（54份来自理学学士课程，11份来自入门级药学博士课程）。44个（81.5%）理学学士课程和11个（100%）入门级药学博士课程分别提供平均5.1小时和9.2小时的儿科理论教学。虽然所有入门级药学博士课程都提供儿科实践轮转，但只有38个（70%）为理学学士学生提供了接受儿科实践培训的机会。药学院应重新评估其课程，以确保毕业生在进入入门级岗位时具备足够的儿科药物治疗知识。
