Abstract:
Objective. To compare pharmacotherapy instruction in Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs with the 2009 and 2016 American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) pharmacotherapy toolkits. Methods. A survey was sent to representatives at US schools and colleges with PharmD programs. The survey consisted of questions pertaining to pharmacotherapy credit-hours, contact time spent for each therapeutic subject area, and pedagogical methods used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results. Representatives from 75 of 129 PharmD programs responded (response rate 58%). A median of 23 credit-hours were devoted to required pharmacotherapy. Infectious diseases and cardiology were taught with the most number of contact hours. Lecture was the most popular principal method of instruction delivery but the incorporation of case-based learning was also common. Conclusion. Devoted curricular time to pharmacotherapy is adequate to provide coverage of tier 1 and 2 topics from the ACCP toolkit. PharmD programs should continue to review their pharmacotherapy coursework to adjust topic coverage as needed to incorporate active learning strategies whenever possible.
