摘要

无论是在美国还是在加拿大,从药学学士学位到药学博士学位的转变都伴随着药学预科入学要求的提高和药学课程的延长。从历史上看,最深入研究的药学招生变量包括平均成绩(GPA),药学大学入学考试(PCAT),面试和批判性思维测试。现在大多数项目都要求综合学术(GPA±PCAT)和非学术特征(如面试、志愿服务、批判性思维测试、论文)。这篇综述的重点是GPA和PCAT作为学术录取的衡量标准,面试(包括传统的和多重迷你面试)和批判性思维测试作为非学术的衡量标准。有证据表明,药学预科GPA、PCAT和入学面试与药学专业的学业成功相关。重复pre - pharmacy课程是学业成功的负面预测因素。多次迷你面试和各种批判性思维测试已经在药房招生中进行了研究,但迄今为止的证据并不支持它们用于预测成功。有几个领域需要进一步研究,包括找到一种有效的衡量推理和批判性思维能力的方法。入学考试成绩和临床表现之间的关系还需要进一步研究,因为迄今为止,药学课程的学术成就一直是衡量成功的主要标准。

A brief history of pharmacy admissions in North America
The move from a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy to a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, both in the United States and in Canada, has been accompanied by a general move towards increased prepharmacy admission requirements and longer pharmacy programs. Historically, the most thoroughly researched pharmacy admissions variables include grade point average (GPA), Pharmacy College Admissions Test (PCAT), interviews and critical thinking tests. Most programs now require a combination of academic (GPA ± PCAT) and nonacademic characteristics (e.g., interviews, volunteering, critical thinking tests, essays). This review focuses on GPA and the PCAT as academic admissions measures and the interview (both traditional and the multiple mini-interview) and critical thinking tests as nonacademic measures. There is evidence that prepharmacy GPA, the PCAT and admissions interviews are correlated with academic success in a pharmacy program. Repeating a prepharmacy course is a negative predictor of academic success. The multiple mini-interview and various critical thinking tests have been studied in pharmacy admissions, but the evidence to date does not support their use for predicting success. Several areas require further research, including finding an effective measure of reasoning and critical thinking skills. The relationship between admission test scores and clinical performance also requires further study, as academic achievement in pharmacy programs has been the main measure of success to date.
