Survey data on orientations, boot camps, and pre-matriculation programs in schools/colleges of pharmacy
Open accessAbstract
A survey about orientations, boot camps, and pre-matriculation programs in schools/colleges of pharmacy was approved by the South College Institutional Review Board (IRB). The survey was sent electronically to Assistant/Associate Deans of Academic Affairs or administrators in similar positions at schools/colleges of pharmacy in October 2016. The survey was closed two months later, in December, with 50 responses. The data that was collected from the survey included characteristics and components of orientations, boot camps, and pre-matriculation programs, such as session content and the frequency sessions appeared. The survey also collected descriptive information from respondents regarding certain demographics related to their schools/colleges of pharmacy (e.g., public or private institutions, a 4-year program or a 3-year program). The data can be used by schools/colleges of pharmacy and other healthcare professions that wish to revise or establish orientations, boot camps, and pre-matriculation programs.

In Klausner et al. 2016 survey, sessions dedicated to math or calculations appeared in fewer than 4 of the pre-matriculation programs.
“Sessions dedicated to math or calculations appeared in less than 4 of these programs.”
From A Descriptive Website Review of Publicized PharmD Pre-Matriculation Programs (2026) · cites this paper as [21]
Table 3 (Data Description) reports math/calculations sessions in 8% of 48 responses, but combines orientations, boot camps, and pre-matriculation programs. It does not give a separate count for pre-matriculation programs or establish that fewer than four included such sessions. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredBetween two survey studies within three years, there was an increase in schools that self-reported offering a pre-matriculation program.
“Comparing two different survey studies showed that within a time span of three years, there was an increase in schools that self-reported offering a pre-matriculation program [16,21]”
From A Descriptive Website Review of Publicized PharmD Pre-Matriculation Programs (2026) · cites this paper as [21]
The Experimental Design, Materials and Methods section dates this paper’s survey to 2016, and Table 2 in Data Description reports that 12% of 50 responding schools offered a pre-matriculation program. The paper supplies one survey result, but does not compare it with a second survey or establish an increase over three years. No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn Klausner et al. 2016 survey of 50 pharmacy schools, 6 conducted pre-matriculation programs.
“The study done by Klausner et al. in 2016 yielded results showing that out of the 50 pharmacy schools that participated in their survey, 49 of them conducted orientations, 5 conducted boot camps, and 6 conducted pre-matriculation programs [21].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
