Objective:
To present 2018-2019 data from an expanded investigation after an inaugural 2016 pilot survey, which previously reported on the delivery of pharmacy law education in doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) programs in the US.
Methods:
Due to the limited scope of responses in the 2016 pilot study, the earlier survey was refined and readministered (Qualtrics, Provo, UT) utilizing branching logic to specifically identify characteristics of the pharmacy law content and its delivery in PharmD curricula. The follow-up study received an exempt status from the Institutional Review Board of Keck Graduate Institute.
Results:
Of the 142 American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy member institutions in 2018, 97 provided complete responses to the survey, yielding a response rate of 68.3%. The survey results from this 2018-2019 further investigation examining the delivery of pharmacy law education in US PharmD programs indicate significant variations across respondent programs with respect to professional background of pharmacy law educators and assessment strategies used in pharmacy law courses, as well as variations in the structure and timing of the core pharmacy law course within the PharmD curriculum.
Conclusion:
The current data show PharmD curricula at surveyed institutions lack uniformity in pharmacy law content and sequencing of pharmacy law courses, supporting further investigation to identify the best practices in the delivery of pharmacy law education. Another deliberate focus should aim to more specifically determine how, if, and which specific modifications to delivery of pharmacy law education might ensure achievement of student learning outcomes and optimize PharmD graduates' performance on standardized jurisprudence exams.
