Introduction:
Faculty collaboration across disciplines plays an important role in pharmacy education, and in particular, the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) faculty survey asks whether colleges/schools of pharmacy (C/SOPs) have programs available to orient non-practice faculty to the profession of pharmacy. The purpose of this pilot study was to characterize perceptions of the importance and effectiveness of such programs, and to examine barriers to their successful implementation.
Methods:
An online survey was developed to collect demographic information and perceived importance, effectiveness, and barriers of programs designed to orient non-practice faculty to the pharmacy profession. The survey was posted to the AACP Connect Council of Deans and Council of Faculties listservs and responses were gathered and analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results:
Responses from 157 individuals representing 90C/SOPs were collected. While the majority (82%) of respondents rated programs that orient non-practice faculty to the pharmacy profession as extremely or very important, only 17% rated such programs as extremely or very effective. Lack of time was identified as the primary barrier. Differences were identified between various interest groups, including practice vs. non-practice disciplines and administrators vs. non-administrators.
Conclusions:
Programs to orient non-practice faculty to the pharmacy profession were perceived to be important; however, such programs were found to lack efficacy.
