Comparative analysis: Variances in the overall satisfaction perceptions among traditional and non-traditional pathways of graduating students

The evolution of pharmacy education in the United States has seen transformative shifts, from apprenticeship models to the establishment of formal schools, and eventually, the adoption of Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs. In the 1970s, non-traditional PharmD (NTDP) programs emerged to cater to licensed pharmacists seeking career advancement. This study delves into the history, impact, and satisfaction of NTDP programs, focusing on the acclaimed Howard University College of Pharmacy (HUCOP). Despite the success and contributions of NTDP programs to the pharmacy profession, there is a dearth of research on the satisfaction of graduating students, particularly from minority populations. To address this gap, our study aims to evaluate the satisfaction of graduates from both traditional and NTDP programs, shedding light on potential barriers and strategies to enhance diversity in pharmacy education. Methods: A comprehensive survey, comprising 85 questions distributed online, was administered to traditional and NTDP students at the time of their graduation. The survey covered eight domains, employing Likert scales, multiple-choice, and open-ended formats. The data were analyzed using chi-square tests and student t-tests, with a significance level set at 0.05. Results: Demographic analysis revealed a predominantly female and non-Hispanic minority student population in both traditional and NTDP programs. While both groups expressed high overall satisfaction, differences emerged in specific domains. Traditional students reported higher agreement in Facilities, Experiential Sites, and Educational Resources, whereas NTDP students showed higher agreement in Student Experience and Overall Impressions. However, these differences did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: The study underscores the success of NTDP programs, particularly at HUCOP, in advancing the careers of licensed pharmacists and increasing diversity in the pharmacy profession. While overall satisfaction is high among graduates, subtle variations highlight areas for improvement. Future research should delve deeper into the experiences of minority populations in NTDP programs to address existing disparities and further enhance the inclusivity of pharmacy education.

Local government implementation of health sector minimum standards policy: a stakeholder analysis

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the roles and positions of stakeholders in health-sector minimum service standards policy implementation (HS-MSSPI) in Wonosobo based on stakeholders' interests, authority, attitudes, influence, and involvement. Methods: This research is a descriptive qualitative study. The stages in this research are stakeholder identification, data collection through in-depth interviews, data analysis based on the stakeholder classifi- cation approach and stakeholder mapping theory. Results: The results of stakeholder classification show that decision-makers consist of the Regency Legislative Council, Regency Secretariat, Agency for Regional Development, and Health Office. Providers comprise the Health Office, Public Health Center, and Health Cadres, while Representatives comprise the Sub-District Govern- ment, Village Government, and Family Welfare Guidance (PKK) Cadres. Stakeholder mapping results show that there are two types of positions in the decision-maker category: savior and time bomb. In the provider category, there are three positions - savior, friend, and sleeping giant. At the same time, all representatives are in the friend position. Conclusion: It appears that stakeholders involved in the implementation of the HS-MSSPI in Wonosobo have not utilized their full authority to provide support and involvement. Perhaps there is room for improvement in terms of stakeholder engagement and collaboration to ensure the program's success.

“Excited When They See Their Name in Print”: Research Outputs from an Australian Medical Program

To promote evidence-based practice, medical schools offer students opportunities to undertake either elective or mandatory research projects. One important measure of the research program success is student publication rates. In 2006, UNSW Medicine implemented a mandatory research program in the 4th year of the undergraduate medical education program. This study identified student publication rates and explored student and supervisor experiences with the publication process.A retrospective audit of student publications from the 2007, 2011, and 2015 cohorts was undertaken to look at trends over time. Data collected included type of publication and study methodology. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a sample of undergraduate students (n = 11), medical graduates (n = 14), and supervisors (n = 25) and analysed thematically.Student publication rates increased significantly (P = 0.002) from 28% in 2007 to 50.2% in 2015. Students able to negotiate their own project were more likely to publish (P = 0.02). Students reported personal affirmation and development of research skills from publishing their research findings, while graduates noted improved career opportunities. Supervisors expected students to publish but identified the time to publications and student motivation as key factors in achieving publication(s).A high publication rate is possible in a mandatory research program where students can negotiate their own topic and are given protected time. Publications happen after the research project has finished. Critical factors in successful publication include supervisor support and student motivation. Given the importance of the supervisor’s role, staff development and faculty support to train and develop a body of skilled supervisors is required.

Longitudinal measurement invariance of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 across racial/ethnic groups: Results from the traumatic brain injury model system study.

The aim of this article is to evaluate the measurement invariance (MI) of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) in a sample of individuals during the first 2 years after traumatic brain injury (TBI). MI was examined among racial/ethnic groups and over time to determine the utility of the PHQ-9 across these dimensions. In total, N = 3,227 (20% of the total sample) at 1 year and N = 3,153 (19% of the total sample) at 2 years were included for cross-sectional analyses. For the longitudinal analyses, participants with the PHQ-9 at both time points (N = 2,234; 14% of the total study sample) were included. Results were that the PHQ-9 is fully invariant and maintains its unidimensional factorial structure across racial/ethnic groups during the first 2 years after TBI, suggesting the scale measures the same construct equally well for participants from each group. Based on these results, clinicians should feel confident using the PHQ-9 with diverse TBI patient populations, and researchers can reliably and validly employ it in TBI studies across racial/ethnic groups in the United States. Given the high rates of depression among individuals after TBI and its negative impact on their lives, this instrument will continue to be a key tool to measure the prognosis and success of rehabilitation programs.
