Obligations of Investigators in Clinical Research a Pharmacist's Perspective

AbstractThe Department of Pharmacy Practice at the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Pharmacy currently employs 40 fulltime clinical pharmacists who have minimal drug distribution responsibilities and provide pharmacy services to a specific patient care team and are involved with the education of pharmacy and medical students. In addition, these clinical pharmacists have collaborated in the clinical research activities of the medical and surgical staffs at the University of Illinois, Since many of these pharmacists have gain recognition as primary and co-investigators by various study sponsors, the Department of Pharmacy Practice has developed a program to inform each clinical pharmacist of his/her responsibilities as a clinical investigator. The following document summarizes the Department's policies and procedures.

Positions held by graduates of postgraduate pharmacy fellowship programs.

The Brigham and Women's Hospital Pharmacy Department conducted a survey to determine how recently trained (since 1981) postgraduate pharmacy fellows have been employed. We received responses to mailed survey questionnaires from 40 of 42 institutions or colleges offering a pharmacy fellowship. Survey results showed 117 pharmacists completed fellowships from 1981 through July 1984. Fifty percent (58/117) of all graduates are members of college of pharmacy faculty, 20 percent (24/117) are pharmacy staff specialists, and 12 percent (14/117) have pharmaceutical industry positions. The survey shows that the majority of fellowships completed are in pharmacokinetics, with clinical pharmacology and infectious disease a distant second and third, respectively. Postgraduate pharmacy fellowships are important to prepare pharmacists for faculty positions in clinical or pharmacy practice departments of colleges of pharmacy.

Post-doctoral education for pharmacy practice faculty.

Post-doctoral training is becoming increasingly important as a means of preparing for faculty positions in the clinical or pharmacy practice departments of colleges of pharmacy. This article suggests that such training is the most appropriate means of providing the research skills necessary for growth in the academic environment and discusses the impact of post-doctoral programs on the individuals taking them, on the colleges of pharmacy, and on the profession as a whole. For the profession, there is seen a very positive gain as a result of high-training is essential to produce the manpower needed. Some suggestions are offered for enhancing the current level of training.
