Summary
Penultimate-year student pharmacists perceive greater educational value in community pharmacy residency programs (CPRPs) compared to final-year students. Perceptions of CPRPs versus health-system residency programs (HSRPs) vary by skill set.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Postgraduate Training in Pharmacy
Background:
- Understanding student pharmacists' perceptions of residency programs is crucial for curriculum development.
- Community Pharmacy Residency Programs (CPRPs) and Health-System Residency Programs (HSRPs) offer distinct training opportunities.
Purpose of the Study:
- Compare penultimate- and final-year student pharmacists' views on the educational value of CPRPs.
- Compare student pharmacists' views on the educational value of CPRPs versus HSRPs.
Main Methods:
- Online survey distributed to penultimate- and final-year student pharmacists at 119 ACPE-accredited schools.
- Survey included demographic questions and a 20-item scale assessing perceived value of skill development in residency programs.
Main Results:
- 1,722 surveys analyzed; penultimate-year students rated CPRPs higher than final-year students.
- Students valued CPRPs more for business, practice management, and medication therapy management skills.
- Students valued HSRPs more for teaching, research, and clinical knowledge skills.
Conclusions:
- Student pharmacists' perceived value of CPRPs is influenced by their academic year.
- The specific pharmacy practice skill influences the perceived value of CPRPs versus HSRPs.

01:12Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data
Analysis of population pharmacokinetic data involves studying the behavior of drugs within diverse populations to understand their pharmacokinetic parameters. Traditional pharmacokinetic methods typically involve collecting samples from a few individuals and estimating these parameters. While these methods are commonly used, they have limitations in capturing the variability in drug response among individuals or heterogeneous populations. Population pharmacokinetics is employed to address these...
01:01Dosage Regimens: Partial Pharmacokinetic Parameters
It is not uncommon for complete drug pharmacokinetic profiles to remain elusive in pharmacokinetics. This necessitates certain educated assumptions by pharmacokineticists to determine appropriate dosage regimens without comprehensive pharmacokinetic data from animal or human studies. One prevalent assumption is setting the bioavailability factor, denoted as F, to 1 or 100%. This assumption caters to the scenario where a drug doesn't achieve full systemic absorption, resulting in the patient...
01:26Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion
In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...

01:23Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Overview and Drug Absorption
Understanding the physiological differences in the pediatric population is crucial for effective pharmacotherapy. Neonates, infants, and children exhibit significant variations in gastric pH, gastric emptying time, intestinal transit time, and biliary function. These variations profoundly affect oral drug absorption, necessitating a nuanced approach to pediatric dosing.Neonates present with a unique physiological profile, having a gastric pH greater than 4 and faster and more irregular gastric...
01:30Community Based Intervention
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
