背景:虽然药房项目,标准,随着时间的推移,学生们也发生了变化,照顾我们的学生仍然是最重要的。我们有兴趣了解学院和药学院如何满足这些需求。因此,我们的目标是描述与药学学院/学校相关的学生事务专业人员的角色和责任。
方法:通过电子邮件与美国所有ACPE学院/药学院联系,以确定该机构的学生事务负责人,然后通过电子邮件向其发送Qualtrics调查。调查要求提供大学/学校的人口统计信息以及学生事务教职员工的人数和职责的详细信息。使用描述性统计来总结结果。
结果:调查共发送给134个人,在删除重复的答复后,收到了78份调查答复。回应大学/学校的类型相似(49%是公共的,51%私人),大小(59%进入<80名学生的队列,而全国为55%),与所有认可的学院/药学院相比,课程长度(65%的课程至少4年)。最多的计划有一到三个全职等效(FTE)职位(39%),三到五个FTE紧随其后(31%)。最频繁发生的团队组成(N=20)是零到一名FTE院长/副院长/助理院长和至少两名非教职员工。组织学生定向,策划活动,如头巾和白大褂仪式,监督学生组织,监督学生福利计划和学生招募最常被报告为学生事务办公室的责任。
结论:总体而言,我们的调查结果表明,最常见的学生事务办公室由一名院长/副院长/助理院长和至少两名非教师专业人员组成。我们调查的局限性在于未要求受访者在调查中完成大学/学校领域。
结论:在相应的学院/学校中,专门用于学生事务,头衔和职责的FTE职位的数量和类型差异很大。
BACKGROUND: While pharmacy programs, standards, and students have changed over time, caring for our students continues to be of the utmost importance. We are interested in learning how colleges and schools of pharmacy are meeting these needs. Therefore, our objective was to characterize the roles and responsibilities of student affairs professionals associated with colleges/schools of pharmacy.
METHODS: All ACPE colleges/schools of pharmacy in the United States were contacted by email to identify the student affairs lead for the institution who was then sent a Qualtrics survey via email. The survey asked for college/school demographics and details of the number and responsibilities of student affairs faculty and staff. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the results.
RESULTS: The survey was sent to a total of 134 individuals and 78 survey responses were received after removing duplicate responses. Responding college/schools were similar in type (49% public, 51% private), size (59% entering cohort of <80 students compared to 55% nationally), and length of program (65% with program at least 4 years) compared to all accredited colleges/schools of pharmacy. The greatest number of programs had between one and three full-time equivalent (FTE) positions (39%) with between three and five FTEs close behind (31%). The team make up that occurred most frequently (N = 20) was zero to one FTE Dean/Associate/Assistant Dean and at least two non-faculty professional staff. Organizing student orientation, planning events such as hooding and white coat ceremonies, overseeing student organizations, and overseeing student wellbeing programs and student recruitment were most frequently reported to be responsibilities of student affairs offices.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, our findings show that the most common student affairs offices are comprised of one Dean/Associate Dean/Assistant Dean and at least two non-faculty professional staff. A limitation of our investigation was the omission of a requirement for respondents to complete the college/school field in the survey.
CONCLUSIONS: The number and types of FTE positions devoted to student affairs and titles and responsibilities differed greatly among the responding colleges/schools.
