This study quantifies pharmacokinetics resident duties using multidimensional work sampling. Residents spent 36% of their time on consultations and 48.5% working independently, revealing key practice insights.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Workforce Analysis
  • Pharmacokinetics

Background:

  • Pharmacokinetics (PK) residents play a crucial role in patient care and drug information.
  • Quantifying the diverse duties of PK residents is essential for optimizing training and resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the daily activities and time allocation of a pharmacokinetics resident.
  • To evaluate the utility of multidimensional work sampling in assessing resident responsibilities.

Main Methods:

  • A multidimensional work-sampling technique was employed over a five-week period.
  • Activities were categorized across four dimensions: activity, contact, function, and location.
  • A combination of self-reporting and observer reporting was used, with 480 total observations recorded.

Main Results:

  • The overall reliability of the reporting methods was 78%, indicating good interobserver agreement.
  • Pharmacokinetics residents dedicated approximately 36% of their time to consultations and 23% to meetings.
  • A significant portion of time (48.5%) was spent working independently, with the remainder involving interactions with students and preceptors.

Conclusions:

  • Multidimensional work sampling is an effective tool for quantifying the work practices of pharmacokinetics residents.
  • The findings highlight the distribution of resident time, informing curriculum development and practice management.
  • Accurate quantification of resident duties supports evidence-based evaluation of pharmacy residency programs.
