97. College of Pharmacy set to increase graduates

St. Louis Business Journal - by Julia M. Johnson
Friday, September 21, 2007

College of Pharmacy set to increase graduates - St. Louis Business Journal:

"Katherine Knapp, dean of the pharmacy school at Touro University in Vallejo, Calif., and a researcher in pharmacist employment, said there are about 230,000 pharmacists working in the U.S. She said there will continue to be a nationwide shortage of graduates despite the fact there are 25 more pharmacy schools in the U.S. than there were 20 years ago."

"Still, things could be worse, if it weren't for the newer schools," Knapp said. "We're finding that once people reach age 65, they're averaging about 20 prescriptions each per year. And the baby boomers are just turning 60, so they're not even at that transition point yet. Studies also show people in general are using prescriptions poorly, overusing them," which further stokes the demand for pharmacists, she said."


98. http://www.ncseaa.edu/pdf/PHARMACY_S...NTIES_2007.pdf

99. Drugstore Prescription Errors Lead to Illnesses, Deaths, & Lawsuits

Quote:

"A nationwide shortage of pharmacists -- especially acute in Maine --
has created heavy workloads. Relatively low unemployment has made it
difficult to hire and retain pharmacy technicians, who regularly fill
routine prescriptions."

"Retail pharmacists are paid more, but there is more expected out of
them," Bonsey said. That can mean working 12 hours without getting time
to eat or use a bathroom, dealing with a queue of demanding customers
and spending hours on the phone with insurance companies."

"If you don't get a lull, where you can regroup and eat
something...clearly you're not fresh and clearly you're not going to
make good decisions -- you're going to miss things."

Pharmacist Shortages Persist Throughout the Country
The news coverage continues to confirm a shortage of pharmacists affecting staffing levels throughout the country. The Belleville News-Democrat reports that area pharmacies are having hard times filling jobs, and The Columbus Dispatch reports that Ohio State University received more than 900 applications for 125 spots in its pharmacy college in the fall.
From the Dispatch: "I could place 200 to 300 new pharmacy graduates tomorrow if I had them," said Ernest Boyd, executive director of the Ohio Pharmacists Association.
The Wisconsin Hospital Association just recently released a report that shows Pharmacist jobs are currently difficult to recruit. Iowa is lacking pharmacists in the rural areas of the state. And New York pharmacy salaries are being driven up by a shortage of pharmacists.
If you're facing these kinds of conditions, PharmacyWeek can help! We reach active and passive candidates at work and at home.

PharmacyWeek's Recruiting Edge Package gave our company the exposure we needed to fill our position in no time. The package offered five different avenues of exposure and was very economical. Thank you PharmacyWeek." -- Detra Bickerstaff,
