“…This article presents a novel data set performed among Sudanese pharmacy students to assess the effect of COVID-19 on their pharmacy education and their well-being. The results of this study emphasised the increased female to male ratio among pharmacy students, also highlighted by many previous studies (Taylor & Patton, 2008;Janzen et al, 2013). The rate of participation was higher among private university students (60.6%); this could be due to the growth of private pharmacy education in Sudan.…”

Background: The new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has impacted many aspects of life. Several studies have investigated the effect of this pandemic on academic activities. Yet, no studies addressed the impact of COVID-19 on students in Sudan. This study examines the impact of COVID-19 on Sudanese undergraduate pharmacy students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire delivered to undergraduate pharmacy students. Results: A total of 137 students responded to the survey. The majority were female (74.5%) and were students in private colleges (60.6%). Majority of the students (95.0%) were affected by COVID-19 crisis and about half of the respondents (54.0%) were depressed and 85.4% reported a decreased level of concentration. In spite of these challenges, majority of our respondents were still motivated (85.3%) to continue their education on campus. Conclusion: Despite unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, pharmacy students in Sudan are motivated to continue their studies, and they want the traditional teaching model to resume. It is time to invest more in education and rethink delivery of pharmacy education in Sudan during public health emergencies. There is no better time than now.

“…However, many PharmD students earn a bachelor of science degree prior to entering the program. 33 The assumption that students begin graduate school at age 24 allowed a 6-year window in which to complete the PharmD degree. Assuming that students are able to either enter the workforce or pursue further education at age 24 was a best-case scenario assumption in that it allowed the most time for graduates to earn a salary.…”

Objective. To determine the net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) for earning a doctor of philosophy (PhD) degree and pursuing careers commonly associated with that degree after completion of a doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) degree compared to entering pharmacy practice directly upon completion of the PharmD degree. Methods. Income profiles were constructed based on 2008 annual salary data. NPV and IRR were calculated for careers resulting from the PhD degree and compared to those of the practicing community pharmacist. Trends in IRR also were examined across career paths from 1982 to 2008. A priori assumptions were developed and sensitivity analyses were conducted. Results. The NPVs for all careers associated with the PhD degree were negative compared to that of the practicing community pharmacist. IRRs ranged from -1.4% to 1.3% for PhD careers. Longitudinal examination of IRRs indicated a negative trend from 1982 to 2008. Conclusions. Economic financial incentives for PharmD graduates to pursue graduate school are lacking. The study illustrates the need to consider financial incentives when developing recruitment methods for PharmD graduates to pharmacy graduate programs.

“…The gender of respondents, 59% female and 41% male, paralleled that of the demographics of pharmacy colleges and schools nationally. 42 Consensus was achieved for 15% (3/20) of the proposed revisions to the definition. Two of the 9 additions to the definition reached consensus (29%), and 1 of the 5 clarifications reached consensus (20%).…”

Objective. To develop a definition of professional engagement, a list of professionally engaging and disengaging activities, and characteristics of those activities. Methods. A 2-round modified Delphi process was conducted using student pharmacists. The first round captured input while the second assessed agreement using a 5-point Likert scale. Results. A definition was created using the 3 items that reached consensus. All engaging characteristics reached consensus, and 25% (3/12) of the disengaging characteristics reached consensus. Lower rates of consensus were observed for activities, with 78% (7/9) of the professionally engaging and none of the disengaging activities reaching consensus. Conclusion. The findings of this study have implications for creating professionally engaging learning experiences for student pharmacists and suggest that ensuring activities contain certain professionally engaging characteristics may be more important than the activities themselves.
