Summary of Key Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations . 29 Source Notes...............................................................36 ListofAppendices ..........................................................37 Executive Summary Brief Background/Description of Methodology This report is the fourth in a series issued by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board in which a supply-demand methodology (Appendix A-1) has been used to project the need for professional schools in Texas. In previous reports, the Board has examined medicine (July 2002), law (October 2002), and veterinary medicine (October 2002). In looking at the general trends in health education, pharmacy education shares many common threads with other disciplines. Among the many factors influencing the need for future health care professionals is the aging population in Texas and the nation as a whole. Pharmacy education, however, is unusual in that it is more singularly linked to one industry – the pharmaceutical industry – and the current and future availability of prescription medications. Pharmacy schools offer the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, generally a six-year program that requires at least two years of college study prior to admittance. This degree has replaced the five-year bachelor’s degree (a 2+3 program), which will cease to be awarded after 2005. Texas graduates must then pass the national licensing exam, the Texas Pharmacy Jurisprudence exam, and apply for licensure with the Texas State Board of Pharmacy (TSBP) before they may practice in Texas. At the beginning of this year, the TSBP had 21,248 pharmacists on record, of which 16,793 were considered “active” and residing in Texas. About one-half worked in community pharmacies, either independently owned or part of a drug store chain, grocery store, department store, or mass merchandiser. About 21 percent work in hospitals, and others work in clinics, mail-order pharmacies, pharmaceutical wholesalers, education, government, and other healthcare facilities and enterprises. Selected Findings Pharmacy Education • Texas has four pharmacy schools, located in Austin, Houston (2), and Amarillo. An additional school is scheduled to open at Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK) in fall 2005 and will graduate its first class of students by spring 2009. The University of the Incarnate Word (San Antonio) also plans to open a pharmacy school in 2006; if plans are met, it would begin producing graduates in 2010. • Applications to pharmacy school have increased by 62 percent from 1999 to 2003, returning to levels set in the mid-1990s. • The number of pharmacy graduates dropped in the mid- to late 1990s as schools transitioned from a five-year to a six-year degree program. The transition contributed to a nationwide shortage of pharmacists. The four existing schools now report an upturn in enrollment and should graduate 380 new pharmacists in 2005 (a 38 percent increase from 2000). With an estimated 60-85 new students scheduled to graduate from TAMUK in seven years, the Coordinating Board projects 455 new graduates from public institutions per year by 2010. The University of the Incarnate i Word expects to graduate an estimated 50-55 students by 2010, yielding a potential total of about 508 per year. • Many pharmacy programs in other states are larger than those in Texas institutions. Texas ranked eighth among the 10 most-populous states in average class size. The ranking suggests that Texas pharmacy schools could increase their class size and remain within the norm for schools in states with similarly large populations. • Texas residents have less opportunity than residents of nine of the 10 most-populous states to attend an in-state pharmacy school. Texas would need to accommodate 80 new students annually to meet the “opportunity average” of these populous states. The state will meet the current average in three years, when TAMUK admits its first class of students. • The majority of the state’s PharmD students are women (66 percent). The state’s graduates are significantly more ethnically diverse than graduates from other professional schools. While Hispanics are still under-represented (as compared to their percentage of the total state population), the TAMUK school should increase Hispanic enrollment given its location in the state. • The Metroplex is the most significantly under-represented region in the pharmacy student population but has more pharmacists per 100,000 population than most other regions of the state. (That latter point probably reflects its function as a major medical center.) • In recent years, schools have developed satellite and distance education programs to provide educational opportunities to students in other locations. These programs are usually less costly and have a shorter start-up time for producing graduates. • The four existing pharmacy schools say that, with additional resources, they could expand their class size by fall 2006. To increase by 30 percent (128 new students overall), all of the schools would need (to a varying degree) new classrooms, laboratories, faculty, and practice sites. Several schools would also increase the number of students at their satellite programs as part of that expansion. Cost estimates are not available for all of the schools, and it is unclear if the state’s formula funding would cover many of those expansion costs. Pharmacy Practice • Based on 2000 data, Texas is ranked 39th among the 50 states in the number of pharmacists per 100,000 population. • Of the approximately 16,793 licensed pharmacists practicing in the state, 30 percent will reach retirement age (65) within the next seven to 19 years. • Among all pharmacists practicing in Texas, 60 percent graduated from Texas schools. Among pharmacists who graduated from Texas schools in the last 10 years, 85 percent reside in the Gulf Coast (43 percent), Metroplex (30 percent) and Central Texas (12 percent) regions. Among pharmacists who graduated from out-of­ ii state schools during this same period, one-half reside in the Metroplex. This suggests that the Metroplex has successfully recruited graduates from other regions and states. • Pharmacists are not evenly distributed among the Texas population. The Gulf Coast, High Plains, and Metroplex regions have the most pharmacists per 100,000 population. All of these regions have major medical centers. Of other areas studied for this report, the 19 southern-most counties in the South Texas region and the Upper Rio Grande region have the fewest pharmacists per 100,000 population. (These areas also have the fewest physicians per 100,000 population.) • The Texas State

  • 2017-2018 Annual Report Our Pharmacy Community Consistently Strives for Excellence and We Are Proud of What We’Ve Accomplished in the Past Year
    THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY 2017-2018 Annual Report Our pharmacy community consistently strives for excellence and we are proud of what we’ve accomplished in the past year. Improving medications and medication-related health outcomes remains at the core of everything we do. Our students and alumni are motivated to make a difference, and as you can see from this report, they are doing just that. This year, our students were recognized on-campus and around the country for their dedication to this profession and making a difference in the lives of their patients. Two student organizations received university awards for their community service efforts and passion for enhancing diversity, while undergraduate and professional students were celebrated for their commitment to their studies, research and the community. Our students weren’t the only ones who experienced success this year; our faculty and staff expanded on the college’s strong research and outreach efforts. The college ranked 12th in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding and exceeded our seven-year average of peer-reviewed publications. Our partnerships flourished and we were able to provide more support to the community than ever before through presentations, live performances, screenings and medication therapy management reviews. Of course, none of this hard work would be possible if it weren’t for our incredible alumni, donors and friends. This year, donations to The Ohio State Fund for Pharmacy were up more than 7% and we reached our annual giving goal two months early. While the pages that follow showcase just a snapshot of all our accomplishments from the past year, I hope you feel a sense of Buckeye pride as you read through the report.

  • Pharmd/Phd) COMBINED-DEGREE OPTION in the COLLEGE of PHARMACY
    THE DOCTOR OF PHARMACY/DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PharmD/PhD) COMBINED-DEGREE OPTION IN THE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY Summary The College of Pharmacy offers a combined-degree program in which a student already enrolled in the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) professional program at Purdue University can begin to accrue credits toward a PhD degree in one of the three departments in the College before earning the PharmD. Key elements of the program are: 1. No additional time will be required for a student to complete the requirements for the PharmD degree. 2. Through a judicious choice of electives and research rotations, a student can begin graduate coursework and research while still enrolled as a PharmD student, thus saving on the amount of time required for completing both programs separately. 3. Students will be eligible for admission into the Graduate School following satisfactory completion of four years of study (either a BS degree or two years of prepharmacy courses and two years of professional courses). 4. No curricular compromises in either program are necessary. 5. The student who successfully completes the combined-degree program will receive the PharmD degree followed by the PhD degree. Departments Involved All three departments in the College of Pharmacy (the Department of Industrial and Physical Pharmacy (IPPH), the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology (MCMP), and the Department of Pharmacy Practice (PHPR)) offer this combined-degree option. The program will be administered by the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs of the College of Pharmacy in cooperation with the Associate Dean for Professional Programs and the departmental graduate chairs.

  • 1) Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy Program
    Appendix 10.2 Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy and Other Curricular Pathways 1) Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy Program Note: this program is being phased out and is no longer accepting applicants The Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy (NonT) program at Idaho State University is designed for practitioners holding a Bachelor’s degree in pharmacy and a valid U.S. or Canadian pharmacy license who desire the opportunity to earn the PharmD degree without returning full-time to a college campus. The curriculum includes 37 credits of didactic course work that is taught using a combination of DVDs, interactive web-based case studies, detailed syllabi and textbooks. Each course has an assigned instructor who is available to students via telephone or e-mail for questions or assistance. Upon completion of the didactic portion of the NonT program, students must perform 18 weeks of on-site experiential training (i.e., Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences - APPEs) in various clinical pharmacy disciplines. Dates to Begin the Program The NonT program does not follow the usual academic calendar of the university. Students will be enrolled and initiate courses once official notification of admission has been received. Requirements for Completion To remain accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), the didactic portion of the program must be completed within 3.5 years of the admission date. This admission date is given to each student upon beginning the program. Before beginning the experiential portion of the program, a second on-campus visit is required during which the student must complete a comprehensive examination of the didactic curriculum.
