there is significantly higher demand in the market place for
critical care trained pharmacists than the CC RPDs. The role
and scope of a critical care pharmacist was not defined in this
analysis, so there may be a difference in the opinions between
the CC RPDs and DOPs. DOPs indicated that critical care
pharmacists could be hired for various positions, even those
outside of critical care. Critical care pharmacists training
may make them a preferred hire for a variety of settings.
Additional review of the definition and scope of a critical
care pharmacist may be necessary, as there appears to be a
discrepancy in opinions.
The extreme dichotomy that existed between the groups
related to potential for dual track degrees likely resulted from
varying interests and areas of day-to-day practice. It is not
surprising that a group of critical care-focused pharmacists
would value the idea of a tracked pharmacy degree that
would allow a student pharmacist to focus primarily on the
clinical care of patients. DOPs may be more broadly engaged
in the clinical and nonclinical experiences of patient care and
not surprisingly have strong feelings against a pharmacy
degree program that would limit exposure to nonclinical
education.
Resident perceptions of critical care training and the job
market have been infrequently examined. A survey conducted
in 2012 included 45 CC PGY2 residents.16 They had high
rates of satisfaction with critical care training, with 91% satisfied with their program and 76% satisfied with their mentorship. Employment status immediately after training was
53.3% clinical pharmacy specialist in critical care, 22.2%
