Abstract

Objective: To determine if there is a relationship between socioeconomic disadvantage and student progression in three doctor of pharmacy (Pharm.D.) programs.

Methods: On-time graduation for six classes of Pharm.D. students was compared based on the economic or environmental disadvantage questions posed by the Pharmacy College Application Service. Demographic characteristics, including sex, race/ethnicity, and geographical area, were also analyzed. A Pearson chi-squared test was used to compare these variables to on-time graduation.

Results: Students whose families met the criteria for economic disadvantage had lower on-time graduation compared to students who did not. Male students had lower on-time graduation vs. female students. Race/ethnicity also adversely impacted progression, with Black/African American students displaying the lowest on-time graduation.

Conclusion: Multiple socioeconomic factors and demographic characteristics hindered progression at three schools of pharmacy, although the precise reasons for lower on-time graduation remain unclear.

社会经济劣势对三个药学博士专业准时毕业的影响。

目的：确定三个药学博士项目中社会经济劣势与学生进步之间是否存在关系。方法：对6个班的药学博士按时毕业。根据药学学院申请服务提出的经济或环境劣势问题对学生进行比较。还分析了人口统计学特征，包括性别、种族/民族和地理区域。使用Pearson卡方检验将这些变量与准时毕业进行比较。结果：家庭符合经济条件的学生按时毕业的比例低于家庭不符合经济条件的学生。男生的准时毕业率低于女生。种族/民族也对进步产生不利影响，黑人/非裔美国学生的准时毕业率最低。结论：多种社会经济因素和人口统计学特征阻碍了三所药学院的进步，尽管低准时毕业的确切原因尚不清楚。
