Objective:
This study analyzes the association between pharmacy law curricular characteristics and first-quartile first-time Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam MPJE(Backspace) pass rates in 2021, 2022, and 2023, and the 3-year average compared with those of the other 3 quartiles.
Methods:
A list of pharmacy schools in MPJE-utilizing states was generated using the 2023 pass rates by school reports from the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. School websites were reviewed for law course-related curriculum details, including course timing, credit hours, number of courses, and faculty with law degrees. The number of graduates, the institution type (private or public), and the founding year were collected. Schools were categorized based on first-time MPJE pass rates into the first-quartile or lower 3 quartiles and analyzed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression.
Results:
Among 125 pharmacy schools, law-curriculum characteristics did not consistently correlate with first-quartile first-time pass rates in the multivariable analysis. However, placing a law course the semester before or the semester of starting Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences was associated with first-quartile first-time pass rates in 2023 in both the univariable and multivariable analyses.
Conclusion:
The study suggests that law-course characteristics were not consistently associated with first-time MPJE pass rates. Law courses the semester before or the semester of starting Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences were associated with first-quartile first-time pass rates in 2023. Further research is needed to understand the factors influencing MPJE success.
