The Polls Don't Lie or Maybe They Do?

Our most recent poll has just closed and the aim was to see what pharmacists or anyone in general thought about a possible pharmacist shortage. The reason we did it was because we have been accused of propagating a lie about there being a shortage of pharmacists, although we are not the ones who come up with the numbers, we get them from the federal government and the other pharmacy labor resources. I understand that in some micro areas in some states there is a glut of pharmacists fighting for jobs and in some areas there is a shortage of pharmacists. The question was based on the idea that nationally there is a shortage and we were not speaking about any specific area or metropolis. The numbers where overwhelmingly lopsided, 17%percent of those who answered said that there was a glut of pharmacist, 60% percent of those who answered the poll said there was a shortage and 20% said they were not sure if there was a glut or shortage of pharmacists. Am I missing something we are always getting attacked for saying there is a shortage! Could the federal government, pharmacy governing bodies and the media be wrong. Either way please post your answer here as to why you think there is a shortage or not and why. I would like those who do post to give a very specific answer as to what is going in their area or market with pharmacists and what they also think the national trend is. I am also going to reopen the poll. Remember this poll is not scientific.

The Pharmacist Oath. Please repeat after me.

Pharmacists are health professionals who assist individuals inmaking the best use of medications. This Code, prepared and supported by pharmacists, is intended to state publicly theprinciples that form the fundamental basis of the roles and responsibilities of pharmacists. These principles, based on moralobligations and virtues, are established to guide pharmacists in relationships with patients, health professionals, and society.

I. A pharmacist respects the covenantal relationship between the patient and pharmacist.

Considering the patient-pharmacist relationship as a covenant means that a pharmacist has moral obligations in response to thegift of trust received from society. In return for this gift, a pharmacist promises to help individuals achieve optimum benefitfrom their medications, to be committed to their welfare, and to maintain their trust.

II. A pharmacist promotes the good of every patient in acaring, compassionate, and confidential manner.

A pharmacist places concern for the well-being of the patient atthe center of professional practice. In doing so, a pharmacist considers needs stated by the patient as well as those defined byhealth science. A pharmacist is dedicated to protecting the dignity of the patient. With a caring attitude and a compassionate spirit,a pharmacist focuses on serving the patient in a private and confidential manner.

III. A pharmacist respects the autonomy and dignity ofeach patient.

A pharmacist promotes the right of self-determination andrecognizes individual self-worth by encouraging patients to participate in decisions about their health. A pharmacistcommunicates with patients in terms that are understandable. In all cases, a pharmacist respects personal and cultural differencesamong patients.

IV. A pharmacist acts with honesty and integrity inprofessional relationships.

A pharmacist has a duty to tell the truth and to act withconviction of conscience. A pharmacist avoids discriminatorypractices, behavior or work conditions that impair professionaljudgment, and actions that compromise dedication to the bestinterests of patients.

V. A pharmacist maintains professionalcompetence.

A pharmacist has a duty to maintain knowledge and abilities asnew medications, devices, and technologies become available and ashealth information advances.

VI. A pharmacist respects the values and abilities ofcolleagues and other health professionals.

When appropriate, a pharmacist asks for the consultation ofcolleagues or other health professionals or refers the patient. Apharmacist acknowledges that colleagues and other healthprofessionals may differ in the beliefs and values they apply tothe care of the patient.

VII. A pharmacist serves individual, community, andsocietal needs.

The primary obligation of a pharmacist is to individualpatients. However, the obligations of a pharmacist may at timesextend beyond the individual to the community and society. In thesesituations, the pharmacist recognizes the responsibilities thataccompany these obligations and acts accordingly.

VIII. A pharmacist seeks justice in the distribution ofhealth resources.

When health resources are allocated, a pharmacist is fair andequitable, balancing the needs of patients and society.

*adopted by the membership of the American Pharmacists Association October 27, 1994.

Hello All,

The link will take you directly to the Bureaus assessment of pharmacy and the outlook for the pharmacy job market in the future. It seems that growth will continue at a 22% clip to 2016 faster than the average rate of growth.

It is a very interesting time to be a pharmacist given the possible upcoming changes to the pharm D curriculum and the increasing role pharmacists are playing in patient care in all settings. These increased responsibilities seem to indicate that the role of the pharmacist is growing larger and more complex and with these additional responsibilities and the expanded need for pharmacists outside of the health care system salaries for pharmacists should continue to increase.

We at infinity search group are leading the way for pharmacists in the job market. We are uniquely positioned to understand the need for pharmacists in all areas and are in constant contact with all major pharmacy employers who need and value our services. If you would like to become part of our exclusive pharmacist candidate pool please feel free to contact us 866-538-0715.

Just the Facts

IMPACT OF THE U.S. PHARMACIST SHORTAGE

FACT SHEET


A study of compounding IV admixtures, conducted across five hospitals, found 9 out of every 100 IV doses mixed in the hospital pharmacy contained at least one error, posing a substantial risk to patients.

The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists estimates a moderate to severe shortage of staff at 90 percent of its hospital pharmacies.

There is a strong correlation between pharmacist shortages and patient safety. Shortages in pharmacy staff may increase error hazards because of understaffed work shifts and individual workers' work durations and volumes.

Reasons for errors include pharmacy workplace noise levels, number of interruptions, the differences in the amount of staffing available, and the extreme workload placed on individual staff members.

Pharmacists have a major role in identifying improvements in the drug use and distribution process and other steps that can be taken to reduce the likelihood of medication errors. Carrying out this responsibility is particularly challenging during a time of pharmacist shortage.

Key factors contributing to the shortage of pharmacists include: increased use of prescription medicines, the expansion of pharmacy practice and pharmacists' roles, and the changing pharmacists workforce.

The decline in pharmacy graduates has been accompanied by a corresponding decline in numbers of applications to pharmacy schools.

It also shows that institutional pharmacies are slowly but surely catching up to retail. It makes me want to pose a question to everyone. If you add all the factors, experience career advancement, work environment and schedule do these factors make institutional pharmacies a better place to work at the end of the day, even though the retail pharmacies do pay quite a bit more and are sometimes just as flexible with schedule.

Is there room for the little guy anymore.

I am reposting this particular post from back in June after reading a couple articles recently regarding the slower and lower medicaid reimbursements to local pharmacies that are driving them out of business and crippling legislation around the corner.You can read one such article if you click on the post title. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this particular issue so please leave a message.

Is there room for the little any more? I was driving around my town the other day and I happened to notice a little drug store called Mel's Pharmacy. I thought wow that is great the little guy is holding out against the big chains like Target, Walgreens, CVS. Mel actually has two stores in our town and has been there since I can remember. What is it that is keeping these little guys in open. I have my theories, like here in my town people like going to same people they have been dealing with for as long as they can remember their children like to do the same, same doctors, same mechanics and same barbers, heck I followed my barber out twenty miles when he moved because he had cut my hair since I was a child now that I don't have much hair I have moved on. They all provide the same services so what is it about these little guys, and by the way I do not live in small, I am 10 or so miles outside a large east coast city and there are 3 large chain drug stores within three miles of mel's. I would like every ones thoughts on this!

Announcement

NABP cautiously estimates early November NAPLEX reinstatement
Civil lawsuit filed against University of Georgia pharmacy professor for allegedly sharing test questions.
The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) “cautiously estimates” an early-November reinstatement of the American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) and Georgia Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE). Both exams were suspended on August 25, leaving many recent graduates in a difficult position. Of note, while the NAPLEX is suspended nationwide, the Georgia MPJE is the only law exam affected by the suspension—those in all other states remain active.

In a September 6 headline on its homepage, NABP wrote that the “rapid reactivation timeline is possible thanks to the strength of the programs and processes that NABP has in place and despite these programs having sustained significant damage that may have completely destroyed other programs.” The “damage” refers to the alleged actions of Flynn Warren Jr., BPharm, a professor at the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy since 1985. Retired since July 1 but still teaching elective classes at the college, Warren is well known for his long-running NAPLEX review course. NABP’s allegations are that Warren attained questions from test takers subsequent to exam completion and distributed them to students about to take the NAPLEX. According to court documents, NABP has accused the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and Warren of misappropriating trade secrets, violating copyright, and breaking contract. NABP has investigated Warren twice previously regarding similar allegations, according to court documents filed in the case.

The Red & Black, an independent University of Georgia student newspaper, reported Warren’s ties to NABP’s discontinuation of the exams. Among legal documents posted at The Red & Black Web site is a court order explaining why an August 6 NABP news release seemingly disappeared shortly after being disseminated. In the release, which was circulated to executive officers and state boards of pharmacy and deans of schools and colleges of pharmacy, NABP Executive Director Carmen A. Catizone, MS, BPharm, DPh, specifically mentions the seizure of “materials and computers” from the university and Warren’s home and states that “NABP is disappointed and appalled that the public trust and health were victimized.” The news release was retracted, however, because it violated the court’s order sealing the case by disclosing “the existence of the Court’s ex parte Order, the identities of the Defendants, certain of Plaintiff’s factual allegations, and the seizure actions taken by the United States Marshals Pursuant to the order.”

According to an affidavit cited by The Red & Black, Alan Ray Spies, Assistant Professor at Samford University’s McWhorter School of Pharmacy in Birmingham, Ala., indicated that he had learned that Warren was giving NAPLEX questions to students subsequent to Warren holding his review course at Samford. Spies passed this information on to Steven Pray, PhD, DPh, of Southwestern Oklahoma State University’s College of Pharmacy in Weatherford, Okla., who, in a separate affidavit, wrote that Warren’s activities “will force NABP to endure a loss of millions of dollars and will necessitate a radical overhauling of the examination pool.” Spies also indicated learning that Warren’s course materials included “some 2,700” questions that were “very similar, if not verbatim, to questions asked on the NAPLEX.” Court documents indicate that Pray sent the results of his research to Catizone.

Although many residents had already been licensed before the NAPLEX was suspended, a considerable number may remain unlicensed because, for example, they experienced delays with their paperwork submitted for obtaining licensure in another state, they were unsuccessful in passing the NAPLEX on their first attempt, or, for whatever reason, they had initially delayed scheduling their examination. Unlicensed pharmacy graduates will be delayed in assuming their full responsibilities as a registered pharmacist and will likely feel the financial pressure of not realizing their full earning capacity. In addition, employers are left without licensed pharmacist employees in a difficult job market.

Accredited pharmacy residency programs have policies on the date by which a resident must be licensed and that date is usually early in the program, such as in August or early September. If residents are not able to take the NAPLEX, residency program directors and preceptors may be placed in an awkward position regarding how to make appropriate accommodations. Some programs have a rule that, if a resident is not licensed by a certain date, he or she is dismissed from the program. Other programs may require residents to extend enrollment in the residency at their own expense in order for the resident to gain the appropriate learning experiences required in the program.

Anne Burns, BPharm, APhA Vice President of Professional Affairs, commented, “If you don’t have a license to practice, you have to have a pharmacist supervising your work. The residency experience focuses on advanced training, which includes putting your skills into practice by working independently, where you truly are responsible for the patient’s care. This can result in increased pressure put on the preceptor of the program to supervise the resident when really the resident should be able to have some independent autonomy.”

The Announcement

NAPLEX, Georgia MPJE exams suspended indefinitely


No reinstatement date set after NABP acts to ensure integrity of gateways to licensure.
As a result of the August 25 suspension of the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) and Georgia Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (GA MPJE) by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), recent graduates are caught in an awkward and unprecedented position. The action came on the heels of an August 23 emergency meeting of the NABP executive committee to review the security of the examinations. No reinstatement date has been set.

NABP noted in a memo sent to state boards of pharmacy that its decision to discontinue the NAPLEX and GA MPJE was to ensure that the "integrity of the examinations is maintained" and to supply state boards of pharmacy with "only valid and psychometrically sound examinations."

When contacted by Pharmacy Today, NABP declined to comment on reports that United States' Marshals seized computers and other materials at the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy and the home of one of its faculty members. The University of Georgia College of Pharmacy also declined to comment on the reports, and U.S. Marshal Theresa A. Rodgers of the Middle District of Georgia was unavailable for comment at the time this article was written.

The man who knew to much.

I am sure all of you have heard the NAPLEX exam has been suspended till further notice and that means for most of my new graduate clients cannot get their licenses for another couple of months. We at infinity went right into action once we heard, we have proposed to our hospitals a way to help new grads get jobs while they wait for their licensing. Some hospitals have agreed to what we have proposed and some have not. At the end of the day our new grads are not just sitting and waiting nervously for their licenses while jobs dry up around them. We hope to help as many new grads as possible. To read more about the intrigue surrounding the NAPLEX exam please feel free to click the post title to read the article about the professor who knew too much.
