“…Surveys used in previously published articles were adapted to describe characteristics specific to VAs. 4,10 The survey was constructed using SelectSurvey.Net (v4.114.000, ClassApps, Kansas City, Missouri) such that all RPDs answered identical questions regarding director, program, preceptor, and facility characteristics. Before distribution, members of the local and national VA Residency Advisory Committees reviewed the survey and revisions were made based on feedback received.…”

Purpose Although the characteristics of pharmacy postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) residency programs have been examined among large academic medical centers, there are no identified studies comparing the attributes of individual programs in the Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Administration System. The primary objective of this study was to describe and contrast characteristics of VA PGY1 residency programs. Methods This was a cross-sectional survey of VA pharmacy residency programs. An online survey was distributed electronically to residency program directors of VA PGY1 residencies. Results Responses from 33 (33%) PGY1 programs were available for the analysis. Programs reported growth over the previous 2 years and expected continued expansion. There was a wide variety of learning opportunities, although experiences were customizable based on residents’ interests. Notably, many programs allowed residents to seek rotations at other locations if specific experiences were not available on-site. Additionally, most programs had a mandatory staffing component and required residents to present the results of residency research projects. Conclusion There is a high degree of variability among individual VA facilities with regard to the requirements and opportunities available to PGY1 pharmacy residents. This assessment is able to characterize the currently established residency programs and allows for an active comparison of programs in a nationally integrated health care system.

“…10 Postgraduate pharmacy education has seen a large increase in teaching development programs for residents and fellows in the past decade. [11][12][13] These programs were created in part to prepare educators prior to an academic appointment. They were also meant to combat the faculty shortage that existed in pharmacy education by creating experienced residents who could quickly transition into a faculty position after completion of their program.…”

Objective. To investigate published, peer-reviewed literature on pharmacy teaching and learning development programs and to synthesize existing data, examine reported efficacy and identify future areas for research. Methods. Medline and ERIC databases were searched for studies on teaching development programs published between 2001 and 2015.Results. Nineteen publications were included, representing 21 programs. Twenty programs were resident teaching programs, one program described faculty development. The majority of programs spanned one year and delivered instruction on teaching methodologies and assessment measures. All except one program included experiential components. Thirteen publications presented outcomes data; most measured satisfaction and self-perceived improvement. Conclusion. Published literature on teacher development in pharmacy is focused more on training residents than on developing faculty members. Although programs are considered important and highly valued by program directors and participants, little data substantiates that these programs improve teaching. Future research could focus on measurement of program outcomes and documentation of teaching development for existing faculty members.

“…Incorporating pharmacy residents into on‐call programs in addition to their rotational responsibilities has been utilized as a part of residents' service commitment within pharmacy residency training for at least 40 years . A 2010 survey of postgraduate year one (PGY1) residency program directors within the University Health‐System Consortium found that 23.5% (16/68) of respondents reported their residents had on‐call responsibilities as a part of their residency staffing component . A 2011 survey of residency program directors listed in the American Society of Health‐System Pharmacists (ASHP) online residency directory reported 26.5% (138/521) of their residents participated in some type of on‐call component with 74% (102/138) of those programs including overnight responsibilities .…”

Introduction On‐call programs are innovative learning opportunities within pharmacy residencies to assist residents in fostering critical thinking skills, communication skills, and clinical autonomy. The objective of this study is to determine the perceived educational and professional value of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) on‐call program on postgraduate year one (PGY1) pharmacy residency alumni. Methods A prospective, cross‐sectional survey was conducted from 1 March 2018 to 1 April 2018 among pharmacy residency alumni who participated in the UIC pharmacy residency on‐call program between 2000 and 2017. The primary outcome of this study was to evaluate the perceptions of the value of the on‐call program from pharmacy residents relating to pharmacotherapeutic areas strengthened and professional skill development. The secondary outcomes of this study were to evaluate how pharmacy residents perceived the on‐call program to affect their interprofessional outcomes and utilization in their current professional role. Quantitative results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results Ninety‐five PGY1 pharmacy residency alumni responded to the electronic survey about the on‐call program; response rate of 58.6%. Overall, alumni reported a high satisfaction (93/94; 98.9%) and positive perception (93/94; 98.9%) of the on‐call program as a highly valuable component of the PGY1 residency program. PGY1 pharmacy residents reported participating in a variety of clinical practice activities across many specialties (infectious diseases, critical care, emergency medicine, and general medicine) while on call. Lastly, the on‐call program is a highly interprofessional experience allowing interactions with a variety of health care providers (physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and advanced practice providers). Discussion The UIC on‐call program provided an overall positive experience for PGY1 pharmacy residents that felt that the experience exposed them to a variety of pharmacotherapeutic knowledge areas and strengthened their clinical skills. Furthermore, the UIC on‐call program is perceived to be a highly interprofessional experience.
