Pharmacy students' initial career choices versus subsequent career paths: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The pharmacy profession offers diverse career paths. Yet, pharmacy students may not be familiar with these various paths and may struggle to choose one that is best suited to their interests, goals, and values. Limited literature has reported on pharmacy students' career interests. However, no studies have evaluated pharmacy graduates' eventual career paths as compared to their initial choices when they were students. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to compare pharmacy students' initial career choices to their subsequent career paths.

Methods

This was a descriptive cross-sectional study that analyzed data on pharmacy students' initial career choices when they were enrolled in a career opportunities course and their subsequent career paths follow
