“…The long-term continuity of specialty pharmacist practice found in this study supports and builds on literature describing high initial placement of PGY-2-trained pharmacists into specialty positions. 14 Bishop et al noted an 85% acceptance rate of clinical pharmacy specialty positions within their trained specialty for PGY-2 residents at the end of the 2014 to 2015 residency year, 14 similar to the 87% specialty practice rate noted in this study. Clinical pharmacy practice within health systems is growing to support this high immediate placement rate and continuity of specialty practice for PGY-2-trained pharmacists as well as the increase in PGY-2 pharmacy residency programs.…”

“…Clinical pharmacy practice within health systems is growing to support this high immediate placement rate and continuity of specialty practice for PGY-2-trained pharmacists as well as the increase in PGY-2 pharmacy residency programs. 11,14 Our data show 2 of the top reasons people did not continue to practice in their specialty was due to the lack of available positions and geographical restrictions. This highlights the possible discordance of rate of growth of positions with availability of trained clinical pharmacists within the current health-system model.…”

“…Unfortunately, due to a low response rate for PGY-2 residents and only capturing information on career trajectory at one point in time, continuity of specialty practice is not well defined. 14 The objective of our study is to described PGY-2 pharmacy residency training on career practice and satisfaction.…”

“…The demographics of study responders (70.3% female, 48% twenty five years of age or under, and 27% married) are quite similar to previously published national data on PGY1 resident demographics, with the exception of age (35% twenty five years of age or under in previous study). 17 The majority of participants were female and they reported higher mean perceived stress score compared to males. The majority of responding residents were under 30 years of age.…”

Objective. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate perceived stress among PGY1 pharmacy residents. The secondary objective was to examine relationships between perceived stress and certain demographic variables. Main stressors during residency training and coping mechanisms used were also determined. Methods.A link to a web-based survey was sent to 1128 pharmacy residency program directors who were asked to forward it to current PGY1 residents in their programs. The 22-item questionnaire included the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), demographic information, number of working/sleeping hours, and major stressors and coping mechanisms. Statistical analyses were completed using SPSS v. 23. Results.A total of 505 responses from PGY1 residents of community pharmacy, managed care, and pharmacy practice residency programs across the U.S were collected. Females (70.3%) reported higher PSS-10 scores than males (p=0.016). Perceived stress scores were similar across age groups. Single residents (71.5%) and married residents exhibited similar PSS-10 scores (p=0.911). Residents with children had higher stress score compared to the residents without (p=0.022). Perceived stress scores were similar across types of PGY1 residency programs (p=0.16). A higher number of working hours was associated with a higher PSS-10 score (p=0.000). Time pressures, work overload, and fear of error were Conclusion.Female gender, having children, working longer working hours, and desire to change residency program were associated with higher PSS-10 scores. The majority of participants associated perceived stress with activities related to residency training and report the use of positive coping strategies to deal with stress.

“…3 Furthermore, certain positions, particularly hospital clinical/staff pharmacist positions, are increasingly perceived to require a PGY-1 pharmacy residency as an entry level requirement. 4,5 This change is likely due to the expanding role of health-system pharmacists and the increasing availability of PGY-1 pharmacy residency-trained pharmacists. 4 Despite all of these trends, there are limited data to describe current PGY-1 program designs and how programs may be evolving in recent years to meet the changing landscape of acute care pharmacy practice.…”

Changes in Pharmacy Residency Training Design Between 2012 and 2017: A Perspective of Academic Medical Centers

et al. 2017

The role of health-system pharmacists continues to expand, and this area of pharmacy practice increasingly requires augmented baseline training. It is unclear how Post Graduate Year 1 (PGY-1) pharmacy residencies may be changing to meet these needs.The objectives of our survey were to describe PGY-1 pharmacy residency program design among academic medical centers, characterize program changes enacted over 5-year period, and describe career paths among PGY-1 pharmacy residency graduates. A 32-item questionnaire was developed independently, which was reviewed and validated by 4 residency program directors. The survey was uploaded to an online survey tool and sent electronically to residency program directors of 109 Vizient academic medical centers with PGY-1 pharmacy residency programs. Residency program directors were identified from a list of Vizient-participating hospitals. The survey was re-sent at 2-week intervals on 4 occasions to improve response rates. SPSS version 23.0 was used to analyze the data. Overall, 49 (45%) of hospitals responded to the survey. Survey responses showed statistically significant increases over the 5-year survey period in the following areas: the number of PGY-1 resident positions offered ( = .001), percent of time spent on teaching experiences ( = .001), and percentage of PGY-1 residents pursuing PGY-2 or fellowship training ( = .026). We found that PGY-1 pharmacy residency programs at Vizient academic medical centers have undergone limited changes over the 5-year survey period and substantial variation exists between program designs. The most common change to program design was an increase in the percentage of time residents spend on teaching experiences. There was an increase in residents pursuing PGY-2 or fellowship training, which may suggest a shift toward increased specialization in clinical pharmacy practice or may reflect changes in the availability of job opportunities.

National survey of pharmacy residents nearing completion of the 2014–15 residency year

Abstract: A survey of PGY1 and PGY2 pharmacy residents revealed that about one sixth of respondents entering the job market were having difficulty finding a position before finishing residency training and that most respondents were satisfied with their residency experience.
