Abstract
Objective: To describe pharmacy law topics and teaching methods within US colleges and schools of pharmacy.
Methods: Pharmacy law educators across the US were surveyed to describe pharmacy law topics and methods for teaching and assessment used to optimize student learning, subject retention, and practice readiness.
Results: Seventy-two (72) out of 127 programs (those American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) member institutions which identified their respective pharmacy law instructor) completed the survey, yielding a response rate of 56.7%. Topics covered within pharmacy law courses varied, but a majority of respondents addressed subjects tested by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam (MPJE). An increasing number of respondent schools include pharmacy advocacy content for both patient care and pharmacist scope of practice. Many respondent schools are incorporating novel active learning strategies to foster student learning and retention.
Conclusion: Delivery of a pharmacy law curriculum within pharmacy schools is dynamic. There is no clear consensus for optimal course delivery; however, the subjects taught, and assessment of student learning is evolving.
