A telephone survey of all colleges of pharmacy in the United States (including Puerto Rico) and Canada was conducted to assess the incentives offered for pharmacy practice faculty to become board-certified pharmacotherapy specialists (BCPS). Board certification is not a requirement for employment at any college of pharmacy; however, it plays a part in promotion, tenure, and merit salary increases at several schools. Fewer than half of the schools provide at least partial reimbursement of examination-related expenses. Sixteen have initiated BCPS study groups. We perceive that faculty must have more incentives to take the examination. It may be difficult to change institutional policies regarding merit increases or promotion and tenure, but colleges of pharmacy can do more to decrease the cost burden and to promote study groups within the department.
对美国（包括波多黎各）和加拿大的所有药学院进行了一项电话调查，以评估为药学实践教员成为认证药物治疗专家（BCPS）提供的激励措施。认证并非美国任何药学院聘用的必要条件；然而，它在几所学校的晋升、终身教职和绩效加薪中发挥作用。不到一半的学校至少部分报销与考试相关的费用。16所学校已成立BCPS学习小组。我们认为教员必须有更多激励措施来参加考试。可能难以改变有关绩效加薪、晋升和终身教职的机构政策，但药学院可以在减轻成本负担和推动系内学习小组方面做得更多。
