Supply of hospital pharmacists in B.C. Rahim-Jamal, Sherin, 1963-; MacDonald, Allyson; Kazanjian, Arminée, 1947-

Abstract

In order to examine concerns about the current and future supply of hospital pharmacists in British Columbia, the Health Human Resources Unit (HHRU) of the Centre for Health Services and Policy Research was asked by the B.C. Ministry of Health Planning to study the current supply of pharmacists employed in hospital pharmacy in B.C. and to prepare some preliminary projections of future supply. This working paper explains the projections prepared, and discusses some of the background data that were examined in order to make the projections. Along the way, numerous revisions were made to the projections. Various assumptions were made and past supply data were examined for estimating future supply. We have attempted to document all the assumptions made in the projections and either explain our reasoning for making the assumptions or show the historic supply data that were used to develop the assumptions.
