peers would have a moderately easy time finding new
employment in critical care, with a job search taking between
1 and 6 months.
When asked about their perception of the current job market and how they would advise students who were interested
in pursuing a PGY2, CC RPDs indicated that ambulatory
care, emergency medicine, and hematology/oncology had
the best job prospects for PGY2 training over the next 5
years, while psychiatry had the worst (Table 4).

Directors of Pharmacy Survey
From October 6, 2015, to November 2, 2015, 82 respondents
completed the DOP survey. The average bed size of participating organizations was 410 beds (range, 25-2153). The
average number of full-time equivalent (FTE) inpatient

pharmacists was 39, with an average of 3.9 FTEs responsible
for critical care.
Critical care pharmacist turnover. Turnover of critical care
pharmacists was quite low according to the DOP survey,
with an average of 0.95 pharmacists leaving an organization over the past 5 years. In contrast to the RPD group, the
DOP group indicated that they expected an increase in critical care trained pharmacist positions, with the average
expected growth over the next 5 years being 1.25 FTEs.
When asked to describe their critical care pharmacist hiring
practices over the past 5 years, the DOP group overwhelmingly supported hiring PGY2 CC trained pharmacists for
these positions; an average of 1.4 PGY2 CC pharmacists
were hired over the past 5 years, with 1.3 of these being
PGY2 CC trained (Table 5).
