Abstract

Objective. To determine the perceived value that pharmacy practice department chairs ascribe to pharmacy faculty candidates having completed a teaching and learning curriculum (TLC) program and related activities.

Methods. An 18-item survey instrument was created that was intended to capture the overall impressions of pharmacy practice chairs regarding the value of TLC programs, relative importance compared to other accomplishments (eg, residency completion, board certification), and importance of specific activities. Following pilot testing and establishment of intra-rater reliability, invitations to complete the electronic survey instrument were sent to pharmacy practice chairs (or their equivalent) at accredited Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs in the United States.

Results. Of the 127 pharmacy practice chairs invited, 53 completed the survey (response rate of 41.7%). The majority of respondents held a PharmD degree (90.6%), had been in their role of chair for zero to five years (60.4%), and represented a private institution (54.7%). The majority of respondents who answered the question (32 of 49) felt it was very important or important (16.3% and 49.0%, respectively) that teaching experiences be completed within a formal teaching and learning curriculum program. These programs were believed to be most important for candidates with less than five years of professional experience. Teaching and learning curriculum programs were not deemed to be more important than other accomplishments by most responders. The perceived most important TLC program activities were instruction on didactic and experiential teaching strategies, and experience developing learning objectives, developing examination items, evaluating examination results, and facilitating case conferences or practice laboratory activities.

Conclusion. Teaching and learning curriculum programs may provide the foundational experiences needed for pharmacy graduates to stand out among other candidates, although department chairs’ perceptions of the value of teaching and learning curriculum experiences varied.

INTRODUCTION

Teaching and learning curriculum programs serve an integral role in the development of teaching- and learning-related educational skills in pharmacy residents and fellows, preparing these postgraduate pharmacists to meet employer needs for qualified pharmacy faculty.1-4 American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) accreditation standards for postgraduate year one (PGY1) pharmacy residency programs include specific competencies for teaching and learning, and TLC programs are often incorporated as requirements for pharmacy residency completion in order to facilitate resident mastery of teaching-related competencies.5 As such, the availability of programs has grown significantly over the last 15 years,6-17 with approximately 70 programs affiliated with schools and colleges of pharmacy throughout the United States available.3,4 As the recruitment of qualified faculty members is vital to the ongoing success of pharmacy education, programs on TLC can play a vital role in preparing faculty members to meet these expectations.

Most TLC programs are one year long and include participation in didactic seminars and completion of required experiences in a variety of teaching settings.3,4 Although formal accreditation for these programs does not exist, most programs across the country follow best practices published by ASHP, the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), and the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) for the development, conduct, and evaluation of TLC programs.3 Common requirements of the resident include facilitating student learning via small group discussion, delivering didactic lectures, creating learning assessments, and precepting or co-precepting advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs) and introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPEs). Participants also are often required or encouraged to develop and maintain a teaching portfolio.

The perceived benefits of participating in teaching-related activities, including completion of a formal teaching and learning curriculum program, have been widely documented by residents, preceptors, and faculty members.9,18-28 Reported benefits include improved time management skills, increased confidence and comfort level with teaching activities, and successful attainment of a faculty position post-residency. Availability of a TLC program has also been used as a recruitment tool to attract prospective residency candidates.2 A survey of residency program directors indicated that the majority placed a high value on developing future pharmacy educators. However, only a minority of respondents reported that completing a formal teaching certificate program was of high value.29

The value of TLC programs has been expressed by many stakeholders and these programs have been proposed as a means to help develop pharmacy residents to meet employer needs for qualified pharmacy faculty members.2,9,18-28 However, it is unclear whether these programs are valued by those in academia who are responsible for faculty employment. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine pharmacy practice department chairs’ perceptions of the value of TLC programs and related activities when making hiring decisions.

METHODS

A list of pharmacy practice chairs at US Doctor of Pharmacy programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)30 was developed through a review of faculty rosters on program websites. If a pharmacy practice chair was not identifiable, the faculty member with the closest related position was selected. This was most commonly a department head or a faculty member in another department, such as clinical pharmacy or clinical sciences. A list of email addresses was generated by a single investigator and double-checked by a second investigator.

An 18-item electronic survey instrument (available from the corresponding author) was designed by the investigators to administer to pharmacy practice chairs. The survey addressed the faculty members’ overall impressions of the value of teaching and learning curriculum programs, the value of having completed a program in teaching and learning curriculum compared to a candidate’s other accomplishments, and the value of specific activities within a teaching and learning curriculum. Specific activities were informed by the results of a literature search.4,6-28,31,32 This report focuses on quantitative survey items and results.

A final draft of the survey was piloted by two pharmacy practice chairs for assessment of face and content validity, and to establish intra-rater reliability.33-35 Pilot testers were also asked to provide feedback in the form of comments or suggestions regarding survey content or construction.

Intra-rater reliability was established with a test-retest approach using a two-way mixed effects model based on absolute agreement of responses using average measures.33,35 The two pilot testers were given the survey a second time one month following completion of the first administration. Intraclass coefficients were calculated using all survey items, with values greater than 0.75 suggesting good reliability and greater than 0.9 suggesting excellent reliability.35 On pilot testing, the survey demonstrated good intra-rater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.76). Following pilot testing, validation, and reliability assessment, the project was deemed exempt by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Purdue University.

An electronic invitation to complete the survey was distributed in February 2019 via email to the identified pharmacy practice chairs and again in June 2019 to those who had not responded. Participants were informed that participation was voluntary, and confidential, and that they could stop the survey at any time without penalty, and that completing the survey would take about 10 minutes. Participants had four weeks to submit the survey. Up to three reminders were sent to those who had not yet responded.36 Five $100 gift cards were randomly distributed to incentivize participation.

Nonresponse bias was evaluated by comparing the demographics of responders with the demographics of responders in previously published surveys of pharmacy practice department chairs, as well as to data available from AACP and ACPE.37-41 Participants were defined as all individuals who began the survey and completers were defined as all individuals who responded to any questions beyond providing basic demographics. The primary analysis used data from completers to calculate response rate, describe demographics, and measure results, with no imputation used for missing data. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study adhered to best practices for survey research.36,38,39

RESULTS

Of the 133 invitations sent out, five were returned undeliverable. Fifty-eight faculty members completed the survey, for an initial response rate of 45.7%. Removal of five surveys from individuals who were not current or former department chairs left 53 usable survey instruments, resulting in a final response rate of 41.7% (53/127). All but one of the 53 completers were current chairs. Participant demographics and institutional characteristics are provided in Table 1.

Demographic Information and Institutional Characteristics of Pharmacy Practice Department Chairs Who Participated in a Survey Regarding Their Perceived Value of Teaching and Learning Curriculum Programs (N=53)

The majority of completers (32 of 49) felt it was very important or important (16.3% and 49.0%, respectively) that residents complete teaching experiences within a formal TLC program. A substantial minority (20.4%) of these respondents felt this was fairly important. The importance of a faculty candidate having completed a TLC program based on type of position sought is described in Table 2. Completion of a TLC program was judged to be most important for recent residency or fellowship graduates and practicing pharmacists with zero to five years of experience, with greater importance placed on the offer to interview than the eventual offer of employment. Completer ratings of the relative importance of TLC programs compared to other qualifications and factors in faculty recruitment are provided in Table 3. Respondents rated TLC programs as having similar importance to a cover letter or letter of intent and board certification (the latter for clinical faculty members only). The TLC programs were generally perceived to be somewhat less important than all other factors, although results varied greatly.

Importance of Teaching and Learning Curriculum Activities According to Pharmacy Practice Department Chairsa

DISCUSSION

Teaching and learning curricula provide pharmacy residents and fellows with foundational teaching and scholarship exposure.1-4,6-17,19 While it is important to evaluate the quality and impact of these programs, it is also necessary to seek input from employers about the value of these programs in recruiting qualified pharmacy faculty members. Successful recruitment of qualified faculty members is not only important to individual institutions, but to the Academy as a whole. For candidates, experience provided by TLC programs is foundational to preparing them to successfully be hired as and transition into roles as pharmacy faculty members. Teaching and learning curriculum programs aim to provide this important experience.

This study is the first to evaluate the perceived value in the hiring process of a pharmacy faculty candidate having completed a TLC program. The findings highlight the importance of a candidate completing a TLC program, specifically pharmacists who are recent graduates or have less than five years of professional experience. Practice chairs reported that, on average, TLC programs are typically considered less important or somewhat less important than most other assessed qualifications or characteristics. Two exceptions, board certification and cover letter, were rated, on average, as having similar importance to TLC program completion. The reasons for this are unclear, but it may be because candidates completing postgraduate education may not be expected to already have obtained board certification. Cover letters can be helpful in getting to know candidates during the initial screening process but may not be strongly considered in the ultimate interview or hiring decision.

Specific activities within TLC programs that practice chairs believed were valuable included educational programming, mentorship, and tangible teaching and assessment opportunities in didactic, small-group, and experiential settings. Interestingly, experience in remote learning was one of the lowest rated specific items. Given the events in 2020 surrounding the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, survey results obtained today might be quite different. The diverse educational opportunities afforded by TLC programs may provide the foundation for program graduates to stand out among other pharmacy faculty candidates, although it is clear from these survey results that department chairs vary in their perceptions of the value of TLC experiences as a whole.

Most published literature on pharmacy TLC programs discusses the impact on the residents or fellows completing the program. Romanelli and colleagues reported that TLC program graduates self-reported they were more prepared to assume faculty roles; however, data on the graduates obtaining a position within higher education was not reported.8 Nappi described a TLC program and its impact, including that 13% of past graduates had secured a faculty position.13 This faculty attainment rate is in alignment with that noted in a study by Gettig and colleagues, where 7.5% of graduates obtained a faculty role within one year after program completion.9 Shin and colleagues found that over 60% of second-year pharmacy residents reported interest in academia at the beginning of their residency and 24% secured a faculty position by the end of their residency.42 Residents who completed a TLC program were more likely to apply for and accept a position within pharmacy education. In addition, several studies have reported that program participants also perceive the utility of TLC programs.6,7,8,22 For example, pretest and posttest evaluations conducted by Castellani and colleagues among 10 pharmacy residents completing a TLC program found that self-reported confidence in 24 of the 30 teaching abilities evaluated had significantly increased by the end of the program.6 Silvia and colleagues conducted a survey at the end of a seminar series for pharmacy residents and found that self-reported knowledge improved in all areas assessed.7 Similarly, Romanelli and colleagues reported that pharmacy residents’ self-perceived effectiveness as a teacher and confidence in teaching abilities significantly increased following completion of a TLC program.8 These studies highlight the impact and utility of TLC programs from the perception of program graduates.

With many pharmacy residents and fellows pursuing TLC programs during training, it is vital for the Academy to perform market research analysis to evaluate employer perspectives in relation to other hiring variables for pharmacists who aspire to become pharmacy faculty members.41,43 The current study is the first to evaluate chair perceptions of the importance of a faculty candidate completing a TLC program as well as the desirability of various components of TLC programs in relation to the hiring process. This study provides guidance to residency and fellowship programs on how to modify the required programming and activities included in TLC programs to increase graduates’ marketability when pursuing a faculty position. Additionally, this study helps increase awareness of what department chairs at pharmacy schools perceive are the vital components of TLC programs, which can then guide pharmacy faculty candidates in enhancing their competitiveness and provide feedback to the Academy regarding the utility of TLC programs. Although pharmacy practice chairs’ perception of the utility of TLC programs was generally positive, several other hiring variables, such as relevant practice experiences and publications, were rated as more important. One potential reason for this could be the overall lack of standardization for the quality of TLC programing. A recent survey of the landscape of college-sponsored TLC programs revealed considerable variability among programs across the country.3 Pharmacy practice chairs may not be familiar with the requirements of the specific TLC program an applicant has completed, thereby decreasing its importance in the hiring decision. These results may provide feedback to TLC program coordinators to take additional steps to ensure consistent quality and increase awareness of the role of TLC programs in preparing future faculty members. Future research should also focus on evaluating the teaching skills of program participants rather than on their self-perceived improvement and confidence in their skills. The long-term outcomes of TLC participants, including their overall success in academia, have not been well described in the literature.

This study has several limitations. First, the overall response rate was 41.7%, which may decrease the generalizability of our findings. However, this response rate was similar to that obtained from a past national survey of department chairs (46.5%).37 There were a few demographic differences between participants in that survey and those in our survey. Specifically, the department chairs in our sample were more likely to identify as female and less likely to hold a PhD than participants in the previous study, which included chairs of departments other than pharmacy practice. Notably, AACP’s 2019-2020 Profile of Pharmacy Faculty suggests that about 52% of pharmacy practice department chairs were female, which is similar to our sample.40 Our sample was somewhat overrepresented by programs located in the South (about 46% vs 38% nationally) and Midwest (about 31% vs 22% nationally). However, other factors (eg, private school representation, number of graduated classes, and class size) were similar to the Academy as a whole.30,41 Overall, these findings suggest that the risk for nonresponse bias is low. Additionally, our study focused on pharmacy practice chairs; therefore, our findings may not be generalizable to chairs of other academic departments within pharmacy education. However, this could stimulate the evaluation of other variables in the hiring process for nonclinical faculty members within other departments. Finally, we did not ask participants whether their institution sponsored a TLC program. If they did, that could be a potential source of response bias. Nearly all participants had been involved in TLC programs as organizers, presenters, or mentors, and undoubtedly those experiences influenced their perceptions and responses. While there are limitations to this study, it is the first to highlight pharmacy practice chairs’ perception of the utility of a faculty candidate having completed a TLC program. Given that most participants in TLC programs ultimately do not initially pursue a full-time faculty position,9,13,42 a logical next step would be to conduct a similar, national survey to determine how TLC programs can best meet the needs of non-academic, clinical employers.

CONCLUSION

Teaching and learning curriculum programs may provide foundational experiences for their graduates that allow the pharmacists to stand out among other candidates for faculty positions. However, department chairs vary in their perceptions of the value of TLC experiences as a whole. In evaluating all qualifications for faculty employment, TLC programs were identified as being of similar importance to non-teaching components, such as a cover letter or letter of intent and board certification. This suggests that TLC programs are only one component of the overall qualitative evaluation of faculty candidates. The TLC program activities that pharmacy practice chairs perceived as most important were instruction in didactic and experiential teaching strategies and experience in developing learning objectives, developing examination items, evaluating examination results, and facilitating case conference or practice laboratory activities.
