Characteristics of unmet demand for pharmacists: A survey of rural community pharmacies in Wisconsin

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.
