Creating synergy to restructure a college of pharmacy's teaching site.
Colleges of pharmacy and clinical teaching sites have a history of collaboration to create teaching and practice innovations. Radical changes in health care delivery have placed a strain on these relationships and may jeopardize the continued success of these programs. Goals of collaborative planning for a renewed model include integrating teaching into the professional culture of the pharmacy department, moving pharmaceutical care resources to the patient care unit, and training all staff in teaching skills. A model that combines these attributes is defined, and development of the model at a university teaching hospital is described. Revising the pharmacy practice and teaching agenda has a positive effect on both care delivery and educational outcomes.
