Summary
Pharmacy residency program directors perceive residency projects as valuable and essential for resident and institutional development. They strongly agree projects should continue as a program requirement, though views on original research are more neutral.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Health Professions Education
- Academic Pharmacy
Background:
- Residency projects are a component of pharmacy practice and specialty residency programs.
- Understanding program directors' perspectives on these projects is crucial for program development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess pharmacy residency program directors' attitudes toward residency projects.
- To evaluate the perceived value and necessity of residency projects.
Main Methods:
- A questionnaire was distributed to 446 pharmacy practice and specialty residency program directors affiliated with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
- Responses were collected on a 5-point scale and analyzed across seven categories.
- A total of 278 usable questionnaires were returned, yielding a 63.6% response rate.
Main Results:
- Residency directors advised on 917 projects over three years, with significant presentations and publications.
- A strong agreement existed that residency projects are valuable and should remain a required part of residency programs.
- Directors held neutral views on the importance of original research as a project type, but overall perceived positive value for residents and institutions.
Conclusions:
- Pharmacy residency program directors hold positive perceptions regarding the value of residency projects for residents and institutions.
- There is strong support for maintaining residency projects as a requirement in pharmacy residency programs.
- Further exploration into the nuances of project types, such as original research, may be beneficial.

01:13Patient-centered Care
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

01:23Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast, controlled...
