Summary
Hospital and health systems report high-quality experiential education for doctor of pharmacy students. While capacity for introductory (IPPE) and advanced (APPE) pharmacy education is expected to grow, challenges remain.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- The 2007 ASHP-AACP survey established a baseline for pharmacy experiential education capacity.
- Experiential education is a critical component of doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To update the 2007 survey by assessing current hospital/health system capacity for PharmD experiential education.
- To identify factors influencing the quality, value, and challenges of pharmacy experiential education.
Main Methods:
- An online survey was distributed to pharmacy directors in hospitals/health systems.
- The survey collected data on introductory (IPPE) and advanced (APPE) pharmacy experiential education, support from pharmacy schools, and available student experiences.
Main Results:
- A 16% response rate (465/2911) was achieved.
- 45.1% anticipate increased APPE capacity and 28.5% foresee increased IPPE capacity in five years.
- 91.4% of respondents believe students receive high-quality experiential education.
Conclusions:
- Hospital/health system perspectives offer valuable insights into pharmacy experiential education.
- Current capacity and anticipated growth suggest a positive outlook, despite identified challenges.

The air in the lungs is measured in volumes and capacities. Lung volume measures reflect the amount of air taken in, released, or left over after a lung function, like a single inhalation. Lung capacity measures are sums of two or more lung volume measures.

The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

Respiratory capacities are crucial indicators of lung function, representing the maximum amount of air an individual's respiratory system can handle during various breathing phases.
One key metric is the Inspiratory Capacity (IC), which represents the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled with full effort. IC is calculated by summing the tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume, typically ranging from 2.4 to 3.6 liters.
The Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) represents the air in the...

1.8K
Consuming animal-based products offers high-quality proteins that contain optimal levels and combinations of essential amino acids, crucial for tissue repair and growth. Foods like eggs, milk, fish, and most meats are a source of complete proteins. Legumes and cereals are abundant in proteins; however, they typically lack a full range of essential amino acids. As a result, they are considered incomplete protein sources. Some plant sources like soybeans, quinoa, and amaranth do contain complete...

Microorganisms exhibit diverse oxygen requirements and growth patterns driven by their metabolic strategies and environmental adaptations. Oxygen, while essential for many organisms, can also be toxic under certain conditions, shaping how microorganisms grow and survive.Oxygen Requirements of MicroorganismsMicroorganisms are classified based on their ability to use or tolerate oxygen:● Obligate aerobes like Mycobacterium tuberculosis need oxygen for energy production, as it serves as the...

1.9K
Carbohydrates are predominantly obtained from plant sources. With the exception of lactose found in milk and insignificant glycogen amounts in meat, most consumed carbohydrates have plant origins. Monosaccharides and disaccharides, or sugars, can be sourced from fruits, honey, milk, sugar cane, and sugar beets. Grains and vegetables are rich in the polysaccharide starch. Two types of polysaccharides provide fiber: cellulose, which is abundant in many vegetables, forms undigestible roughage or...
