Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Medical Education
  • Physician-Pharmacist Relationship

Background:

  • Understanding physician expectations of pharmacists is crucial for optimizing collaborative practice models.
  • Current literature lacks comprehensive data on how physicians perceive pharmacist roles and their evolving responsibilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate practicing physicians' current and future expectations of pharmacists.
  • To assess physicians' current experiences with pharmacists.
  • To identify factors influencing these expectations and experiences, such as practice setting and years since medical graduation.

Main Methods:

  • A three-part questionnaire was distributed to 2600 practicing physicians in California.
  • The survey utilized a 5-point Likert scale to measure agreement with statements on expectations and experiences.

  • Data analysis included examining correlations between physician practice settings, years since graduation, and their responses.

    • Main Results:

    • Physicians demonstrated neither strong agreement nor disagreement regarding their expectations and experiences with pharmacists.
    • Physician practice setting did not correlate with their views on pharmacists.
    • Physicians graduating within the last 10 years reported higher expectations of pharmacists compared to those practicing longer.

    Conclusions:

    • Physicians generally lack a clear understanding of what to expect from pharmacists.
    • The number of years since medical school graduation is a significant factor influencing physician expectations of pharmacists.
    • Future interventions should focus on clarifying pharmacist roles and enhancing physician understanding, particularly for established practitioners.
