Abstract

Objective

The pharmacy Academy faces an urgent need for diverse, experienced faculty members. However, although many faculty candidates may come from advanced training backgrounds, many do not have all the skills required to transition seamlessly into an academic role. Academic pharmacy fellowships are a promising strategy to address these gaps. The objective of this paper is to describe the information available online about academic pharmacy fellowships.

Methods

In this cross-sectional review, a list of programs was compiled from multiple online sources over 1 year. For each program identified, available information related to the institution, application requirements, and program details was compiled into a database. The quality of the data in the database was evaluated using an analysis of missing values and data to error ratio.

Results

A total of 29 academic pharmacy fellowships were identified for the 2023–2024 application year, including 19 teaching-intensive and 10 research-intensive programs. In general, there is variability in the clarity and amount of information available online for these programs and a lack of standardization.

Conclusion

For applicants seeking careers in academic pharmacy, there are diverse options; however, there is an opportunity for academic pharmacy fellowship programs to develop common language, timelines, and online presence. Further collaboration is necessary to ensure that pharmacy faculty and mentors are aware of these opportunities and are able to connect potential applicants to these programs to strengthen this endeavor.

学术药学奖学金计划的特点：横断面在线搜索的结果。

目的：药学学院急需多样化、有经验的教员。然而，尽管许多教师候选人可能具有高级培训背景，但许多人并不具备无缝过渡到学术角色所需的所有技能。学术药学奖学金是解决这些差距的一个有前途的战略。本文的目的是描述网上关于学术药学奖学金的信息。方法：在这个横断面回顾中，从多个在线资源中编译了一年内的课程列表。对于确定的每个项目，与机构、申请要求和项目细节相关的可用信息被编译到数据库中。通过对缺失值和数据误差率的分析来评估数据库中数据的质量。结果：2023-2024申请年度共确定29个药学学术奖学金项目，其中19个教学密集型项目和10个研究密集型项目。总的来说，这些项目在信息的清晰度和数量上存在差异，而且缺乏标准化。结论：对于寻求学术药学职业的申请人来说，有多种选择；然而，学术药学奖学金项目有机会发展共同的语言、时间表和在线存在。进一步的合作是必要的，以确保药学教师和导师意识到这些机会，并能够将潜在的申请人与这些项目联系起来，以加强这一努力。
