Evaluation of Curricula Content on Kidney Disease in US Doctor of Pharmacy Programs

Objective. Although pharmacists improve outcomes in the care of patients with kidney diseases and current guidelines advocate multidisciplinary care, pharmacist nephrology training is not well described. This study seeks to characterize required and elective coursework within US Doctor of Pharmacy curricula. This information will be valuable in identification and evaluation of educational gaps for pharmacists as best practices in the education and care of kidney diseases for pharmacists are established.
