To report statistical information about pharmacy postgraduate experiential training programs in the US and Canada.
RESFILE-95 database.
A questionnaire is mailed annually to the contact listed for each residency or fellowship in the RESFILE database. The data for this report were entered into the database between June and December 1994. The information obtained on the survey includes (1) program type and accreditation status, (2) primary focus of the program, (3) number of positions, (4) stipend, (5) availability to BS graduates.
Six hundred sixty-eight programs are listed in the RESFILE database, including 540 residences (70% accredited and 30% nonaccredited) and 128 fellowships. Fifty programs are located in Canada. There are a total of 1070 positions available, with a mean of 1.6 positions per program. Pharmacy practice residencies constitute 55% of accredited residencies in the US. General hospital residencies account for 88% of Canadian programs. Primary/ambulatory care residencies are the most common specialty focus. Infectious disease is the most common fellowship focus. The mean stipend for all programs is $24,837. Overall, at least 90% of the responding programs offer specified benefits. Forty-eight percent of the residency programs are available to BS graduates; most fellowships are not. Having completed a previous generalist residency is frequently preferred but often is not required to perform a specialty residency or fellowship.
The statistical data in this report will be useful to those assessing the role of postgraduate experiential training, institutions in the process of developing a residency or fellowship, and those considering application to enter such programs.
报告美国和加拿大药学研究生实践培训项目的统计信息。
RESFILE - 95数据库。
每年向RESFILE数据库中每个住院医师培训项目或专科培训项目列出的联系人邮寄一份调查问卷。本报告的数据于1994年6月至12月录入数据库。调查获得的信息包括：（1）项目类型和认证状态；（2）项目的主要重点；（3）职位数量；（4）津贴；（5）对本科毕业生的可用性。
RESFILE数据库列出了668个项目，包括540个住院医师培训项目（70%获得认证，30%未获得认证）和128个专科培训项目。50个项目位于加拿大。共有1070个职位空缺，平均每个项目1.6个职位。药学实践住院医师培训项目占美国获得认证的住院医师培训项目的55%。综合医院住院医师培训项目占加拿大项目的88%。初级/门诊护理住院医师培训项目是最常见的专业重点。传染病是最常见的专科培训重点。所有项目的平均津贴为24,837美元。总体而言，至少90%的回复项目提供特定福利。48%的住院医师培训项目对本科毕业生开放；大多数专科培训项目不开放。完成先前的全科住院医师培训通常是首选，但进行专科住院医师培训或专科培训通常不需要。
本报告中的统计数据对那些评估研究生实践培训作用的人、正在制定住院医师培训或专科培训项目的机构以及考虑申请进入此类项目的人将是有用的。
