  • Current Status of Immunology Education in US Schools And
    American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education 2019; 83 (7) Article 6994. RESEARCH Current Status of Immunology Education in US Schools and Colleges of Pharmacy Yuan Zhao, PhD,a Dana Ho, PharmD,a Benjamin Oldham, PharmD,a Bonnie Dong, PharmD,a Daniel Malcom, PharmDa,b a Sullivan University College of Pharmacy, Louisville, Kentucky b Associate Editor, American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, Arlington, Virginia Submitted February 2, 2018; accepted June 17, 2018; published September 2019. Objective. To determine the extent of immunology education in US Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs. Methods. Curricular information on immunology education was collected from the web pages of US PharmD programs (N5142). The data were sorted, comparisons were made, and trends were identified. Results. Of 142 PharmD programs studied, 100% posted curriculum information on their websites. Among them, 73 programs (51.4%) had a dedicated immunology course in their curriculum, either as an independent course or a course combined with another subject. Most immunology education was offered in the first professional year (72.5%). Of the programs that offered immunology as an in- dependent course, the number of semester hours dedicated to the course varied from 1.5 to 3.5 (median53, mode53, mean52.7). More three-year programs offered immunology as a core compo- nent in the didactic curriculum than did four-year programs (64.7% vs 49.6%). Similarly, more private programs offered immunology than did public programs (64% vs 37.3%). Conclusion. Immunology education in US schools and colleges of pharmacy lacks consensus. Not all PharmD programs indicated they offered specific, focused immunology education in their curricula.

  • Telepharmacy Rules and Statutes: a 50-State Survey
    American Journal of Medical Research 5(2), 2018 pp. 7–23, ISSN 2334-4814, eISSN 2376-4481 doi:10.22381/AJMR5220181 TELEPHARMACY RULES AND STATUTES: A 50-STATE SURVEY GEORGE TZANETAKOS Department of Health Management and Policy, College of Public Health, The University of Iowa FRED ULLRICH Department of Health Management and Policy, College of Public Health, The University of Iowa KEITH MUELLER [email protected] Department of Health Management and Policy, College of Public Health, The University of Iowa (corresponding author) ABSTRACT. There has been a significant decline in the number of independently owned rural pharmacies serving non-metropolitan areas, thereby limiting access to pharmaceutical services for rural residents, particularly for those most vulnerable and in need of these services. The use of telepharmacy is one potential solution to this problem. Telepharmacies deliver pharmaceutical care to outpatients at a distance via telecommunication and other advanced technologies. This study identifies rules and laws enacted by states authorizing the use of community telepharmacy initiatives within their respective jurisdictions. As of August 2016, the use of telepharmacy was authorized, in varying capacities, in 23 states (46%). Pilot program development that could apply to telepharmacy initiatives was authorized by six states (12%). Waivers to administrative or legislative pharmacy practice requirements that could allow for telepharmacy initiatives were permitted in five states (10%). Nearly one-third of the states (16, or 32%) did not authorize the use of telepharmacy, nor did they authorize the pursuit of telepharmacy initiatives via pilot programs or waivers. Keywords: telepharmacy; rule; statute; rural; community; outpatient How to cite: Tzanetakos, George, Fred Ullrich, and Keith Mueller (2018).
