Practice patterns of Doctor of Pharmacy graduates: educational implications.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the appropriateness of the predominantly clinical PharmD curriculum in light of actual employment patterns of PharmD graduates. Data were gathered via a survey of PharmD graduates from the seven post-baccalaureate programs active since 1972. Respondents were asked about their employment patterns and characteristics; about their formal education in the areas of management, statistics, and research methods; and to indicate whether they had completed residencies or fellowships. The results indicate that many PharmD graduates are employed in positions requiring considerable nonclinical skills, especially management skills. The results further indicate that few respondents have completed formal education, residencies, or fellowships which would prepare them for management or other nonclinical positions. Consequently, it appears that PharmD programs should require considerably more management training and education in order to adequately prepare their graduates for the positions open to them.

Medical biochemistry in Macedonia: a profession for physicians and natural scientists.

Medical biochemistry or clinical chemistry in its roots is an interdisciplinary science between natural sciences and medicine. The largest part of medical biochemistry is natural science (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, mathematics), which is very well integrated in deduction of medical problems. Medical biochemistry throughout the world, including Macedonia, should be a professional field open to both physicians and natural scientists, according to its historical development, theoretical characteristics and applied practice. Physicians and natural scientists follow the same route in clinical chemistry during the postgraduate training of specialization in medical biochemistry/clinical chemistry. However, in Macedonia the specialization in medical biochemistry/clinical chemistry is today regulated by law only for physicians and pharmacists. The study of clinical chemistry in Europe has shown its interdisciplinary character. In most European countries different professions, such as physicians, chemists/biochemists, pharmacists, biologists and others could specialize in clinical chemistry. The question for the next generation of specialists in Macedonia is whether to accept the present conditions or to attempt to change the law to include chemists/biochemists and biologists as well. The latter used to be a practice in Macedonia 20 years ago, and still is in many European countries. Such change in law would also result in changes in the postgraduate educational program in medical biochemistry in Macedonia. The new postgraduate program has to follow the European Syllabus, recommended by EC4. To obtain sufficient knowledge in clinical chemistry, the duration of vocational training (undergraduate and postgraduate) for all trainees (physicians, pharmaceutics, chemists/biochemists and biologists) should be 8 years.

[Multiprofessional demand and clientele: influences and challenges for a Master's degree course in educational technology in the health sciences].

This article aims to identify the key characteristics of individuals pursuing a Master's degree in Health Education, discussing relevant issues concerning the objectives and content of their training. The analysis is based on data for Master's applicants selected during the four years since the program on Educational Technology in Health Sciences was created by the Unit of Educational Technology in Health, under the Health Sciences Center at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. The study showed that the applicants came from various professions and belonged to both teaching faculty and health care teams. The profile identified by the study has provided the material for discussing key aspects related to the Master's course characteristics and the challenges involved in achieving its social role and meeting the clientele's needs.

Screening and selecting candidates for a hospital pharmacy residency program.

An applicant screening and selection procedure for a hospital pharmacy residency program which (1) efficiently processes a large number of applicants while minimizing the subjective nature of the review process and (2) ranks candidates for submission to the ASHP Residency Matching Program is described. A screening and selection committee consisting of five staff members of the hospital pharmacy department was created. Goals of the residency program and qualities of the optimal resident were defined prior to development of the screening and selection program. Two forms were used by staff in the screening process: a screening worksheet for the preinterview screen, and an evaluation chart for the interview phase. Each form outlined the criteria which serve as indicators of academic, professional and personal development in a format that allows easy extraction of data. By carefully defining program goals and identifying specific human qualities most compatible with those goals, the likelihood of successful applicant selection through use of a systematic screening process is increased.

[Application of personal drug (P-drug) seminar to clinical pharmacy education in the graduate school of pharmaceutical sciences].

The P-drug seminar, a novel method of teaching the process of rational pharmacotherapy, was introduced in 2000 into the practice program of the clinical pharmacy course in the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Toyama Medical and Pharmaceutical University (TMPU). The P-drug concept is evidence-based drug selection according to criteria (i.e., efficacy, safety, suitability and cost) deter mined in advance and rational prescribing by each physician. The P-drug seminar originated from educational courses for medical students at the University of Groningen and has been propagated by the WHO Action Programme on Essential Drugs world wide. In the TMPU, the seminar consists of 5 half-days before the start of bedside teaching during clinical pharmacy practice. Each term, 8 graduate students licensed as pharmacists form one seminar group, and 32 students have completed it successfully in the past 2 years. Problem-based learning and self-awareness methods are applied through discussion among students. The same teaching materials as those used in the WHO P-drug workshop and the English textbook Guide to Good Prescribing were adopted. A short lecture on the pharmacist's role in the rational use of drugs was added to modify the original P-drug workshop for medical students since this was considered suitable for graduate students in clinical pharmacy. Our graduate students were able to learn the process of pharmacotherapy by following the steps of P-drug selection and rational treatment under the P-drug concept and also understand the viewpoint of prescribers and pharmacists' roles as medical staff. In conclusion, this is the first report on application of the P-drug method to clinical pharmacy education.

Hospital nuclear pharmacy--a comparison of physician and pharmacist practice.

OBJECTIVE: Nuclear pharmacy is practiced in every hospital with a nuclear medicine clinic. Pharmacists control this practice in fewer than four percent of these institutions. The authors wish to bring to the attention of hospital pharmacists an area of practice in which they can make a significant contribution to the state of pharmacy practice. METHOD: The current state of the physician practice of nuclear pharmacy is described and compared with the accepted standards of pharmacy practice. CONCLUSIONS: Hospital pharmacists can improve pharmaceutical care administered in nuclear medicine by their participation in nuclear pharmacy practice and by the application of hospital pharmacy practice standards. It is also suggested that nuclear pharmacy should be integrated into the pharmacy curriculum at schools of pharmacy.

PharmD or BS: does the degree really make a difference in pharmacists' job satisfaction?

Secondary analysis of data obtained during the 1982 Socioeconomic Survey of California Pharmacists compared practice patterns and job satisfaction of BS and PharmD level practitioners. Questionnaires were mailed to 2,864 pharmacists in April 1982. Questionnaires were returned by 1,463 pharmacists yielding a response rate of 51 percent. Of those responding, 1,030 were currently practicing with either a BS or PharmD as their highest degree. Results indicate that BS level practitioners are more likely to be in hospital management or staff positions. The percent of time spent educating the public, pharmacy students and other health care professionals was the only job activity in which BS and PharmD practitioners differed to a statistically significant degree. Time spent processing the prescription and management activities had the most influence on job satisfaction. Academic degree did not have a statistically significant effect upon job satisfaction. These results suggest that when PharmD and BS pharmacists spend an equivalent amount of time doing the same job related activities, PharmD pharmacists are no more dissatisfied with their positions than are BS pharmacists.
