Abstract

Objective: The objective of this commentary is to consider the fluctuations in pharmacy school enrollments and to review some of the strategies employed in other health care professions, as well as to consider policies that might lead to a closer balance between admissions to PharmD programs and employment opportunities. This balance provides job stability, decreased underemployment, and greater attractiveness to study pharmacy. Discussion: Pharmacy school entry requirements have been relaxed to enroll as many students as possible due to current declining applicant numbers. As a result, there are more pharmacist graduates than there are available jobs each year. As a result, the job outlook for pharmacists may go down in the future unless action is taken. Stricter entry requirements could help produce a higher quality pharmacy workforce in the future and relieve this disparity. Summary: Pharmacy schools try to accommodate as many students as possible, which can create a job disparity between the number of available jobs and pharmacists seeking work. Suggestions can include stricter entry requirements, certificate of need programs, required fellowships and other means to balance this misalignment.

根据就业实际情况调整药剂师注册人数。
目的:这篇评论的目的是考虑药学院招生人数的波动,回顾其他医疗保健专业所采用的一些策略,以及考虑可能导致药学博士项目招生与就业机会之间更紧密平衡的政策。这种平衡可以提供稳定的工作,减少就业不足,并提高药学专业的吸引力。讨论:由于目前申请人数不断减少,药学院的入学要求已经放宽,以招收尽可能多的学生。因此,每年的药剂师毕业生人数都多于现有的工作岗位。因此,除非采取行动,否则未来药剂师的就业前景可能会下降。更严格的入学要求有助于在未来培养出更高质量的药剂师队伍,并缓解这种差距。小结:药剂学校试图容纳尽可能多的学生,这可能会造成工作岗位数量与药剂师求职人数之间的差距。建议可以包括更严格的入学要求、需求证书项目、所需的奖学金及其他手段来平衡这种不平衡。
