Abstract:
This commentary offers a call to action to develop equity-minded, evidence-based faculty workload policies and practices within colleges and schools of pharmacy. The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy sponsored an investigation to characterize and compare peer schools' models for measuring and using faculty workload data. An external consulting group selected 28 colleges and schools of pharmacy based on characteristics similar to the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and collected information, feedback, and data on how these programs assessed faculty workload. Exploratory emails and phone interviews were used to collect these data. Nine of the 28 programs participated in additional follow-up discussions. These interviews identified common themes, although there was wide variability in design and implementation of workload models, even among comparable institutions. These findings align with the national Faculty Workload and Rewards Project that explored how faculty workload models can perpetuate inequities and undermine productivity, satisfaction, and retention.
