Characteristics of unmet demand for pharmacists: a survey of rural community pharmacies in Wisconsin.
To measure and describe the level of unmet demand for pharmacists in rural Wisconsin community pharmacies and to examine determinants of the level of unmet demand in these pharmacies. ⋯ Overall, for rural community pharmacies in Wisconsin, a greater need for pharmacists at a site appears to make that site more likely to have a pharmacist vacancy. Pharmacist vacancies appear to have a greater impact on pharmacies that have a lower number of FTE pharmacist positions compared with pharmacies with higher FTE pharmacists because, potentially, fewer pharmacists are present to redistribute the workload.
