Introduction: The primary aim was to determine the key variables in a new practitioner's success from the perspective of pharmacy employers. A secondary aim was to describe the use of a modified Delphi process to collect quality information from external constituents.
Methods: A historical review of the literature was conducted to ensure the inquiry extended existing thinking and to aid the development of questions. An asynchronous, online two-round modified Delphi process was used to gather input and develop consensus. The findings were verified by crosswalking with the Habits of Mind. Additionally, the strategies for inviting panelists, practitioner response rates, and the amount and quality of the data collected were examined.
Results: The historical review yielded 25 articles that were categorized by disciplines studied, methods used, and characteristics found. Fourteen seasoned employers participated. Nine themes describing the behaviors and practices of exceptional new practitioners were identified. These themes were categorized into three groups: Change-Leader, Self-Manager, or Relationship-Builder. Additionally, all the themes mapped to multiple Habits of Mind. As a method for constituent input, the Delphi process yielded employer response rates per school ranging from 10% to 67% and produced five single-spaced pages of text (2124 words) for analysis.
Conclusions: These descriptions of behaviors and practices of exceptional new practitioners build upon existing literature and provide additional guidance for professional development curricula. Additionally, an asynchronous, online Delphi panel can be a useful method to glean important insights from experienced pharmacy employers.

January 2025
Department of Medicine and Medical Specialties, University of Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain.
Background: Recommending comprehensive personalized photoprotection requires an accurate assessment of the patient's skin, including phototype, lifestyle, exposure conditions, environmental factors, and concomitant cutaneous conditions as well as deep knowledge of the available options: sunscreen ingredients (type of filters, spectrum coverage, sun protection factor, enhanced active ingredients), oral photoprotection, and other methods of sun protection and avoidance.
Objectives: To establish consensus-based recommendations endorsed by an international panel of experts for personalized medical photoprotection recommendations that are applicable globally.
Methods: A two-round Delphi study was designed to determine the degree of agreement and relevance of aspects related to personalized medical photoprotection.
Desensitization With Imlifidase for HLA-Incompatible Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation: A Delphi International Expert Consensus.
Transpl Int
January 2025
Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Transplantation, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
Highly sensitized (HS) patients in need of kidney transplantation (KTx) typically spend a longer time waiting for compatible kidneys, are unlikely to receive an organ offer, and are at increased risk of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). Desensitization using imlifidase, which is more rapid and removes total body immunoglobulin G (IgG) to a greater extent than other methods, enables transplantation to occur between HLA-incompatible (HLAi) donor-recipient pairs and allows patients to have greater access to KTx. However, when the project was launched there was limited data and clinical experience with desensitization in general and with imlifidase specifically.

December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, University Medical Center Mainz, Mainz, Germany.
Introduction: The management of de novo non-specific spinal infections (spondylodiscitis - SD) remains inconsistent due to varying clinical practices and a lack of high-level evidence, particularly regarding the indications for surgery.
Research Question: This study aims to develop consensus recommendations for the diagnosis and management of SD, addressing diagnostic modalities, surgical indications, and treatment strategies.
Material And Methods: A Delphi process was conducted with 26 experts from the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS).
