{"title":"Board-certified pharmacy specialties: Growth from 2008 to 2020 and projections to 2025.","authors":"Robert J Ignoffo, Katherine Knapp, William Ellis","doi":"10.1093/ajhp/zxac243","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ajhp/zxac243","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>To track and analyze the growth of 12 Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) specialties from 2008 to 2020 and, subject to criteria, to project specialty numbers through 2025. The analysis considered residency data and Bureau of Labor Statistics projections.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>BPS data were used to determine numeric growth, growth rates, and trends for 12 BPS specialties from 2008 to 2020. Specialties begun after 2008 were analyzed from their start date. For specialties with more than 2 data points and coefficients of determination greater than 0.80, we calculated projections through 2025. We also estimated the percentage of BPS-certified pharmacists with postgraduate year 1 training.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>BPS-certified pharmacists grew in number from 3,004 (2008) to 41,802 (2020), an over 13-fold increase. Currently, 4 of the 5 largest specialties (pharmacotherapy, ambulatory care, oncology, and critical care) continue to grow at a fast rate. Pharmacotherapy experienced the largest numeric growth (20,624) despite the ongoing introduction of new specialties. Critical care and infectious diseases had the highest growth rates (both 32%). We were able to make projections for 10 of 12 specialties, with greater than 62,000 certifications projected by 2025. Growth to these projected levels will require more residencies and more certification preparation opportunities. Residency-trained BPS specialists currently constitute slightly less than 50% of the BPS-certified population.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Specialization in the pharmacy profession is growing at a rapid pace. As more clinical privileges are approved, the demand for more specialized pharmacists will likely continue to increase. Data from this study document the growth of the pharmacy specialty workforce. The data and analysis can be used to estimate potential pharmacist contributions across the healthcare spectrum in clinical areas where BPS-certified pharmacists practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":520552,"journal":{"name":"American journal of health-system pharmacy : AJHP : official journal of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists","volume":" ","pages":"2134-2140"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33479308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
