Objective: In this study, we investigated the predictors and factors associated with pharmacy students’ academic career as their future career option. Methods: A sample of undergraduate pharmacy students studying in their final year was chosen as educational experiences may influence their career choice, and they would have gained more experiences than their juniors. A total of 135 students from one of the private universities in Malaysia participated in this study. Results: “Interest in teaching’ with standardised coefficient Beta value of 0.356 was the best predictor for the students accepting academia. ‘Minimal patient contact’ with standardised coefficient Beta value of 0.573 was the best predictor for students rejecting academia. Discussion: The students who were interested in teaching was minimal. Given the challenging nature of an academic career, there is a need to train more pharmacy academics.
Objectives ::: The first ever Pharmacy Workforce Census of pharmacists in Great Britain (GB) was conducted in 2002, and repeated in 2003. Both census surveys aimed to gather empirical data on the employment profile of pharmacists to aid the workforce planning process. The aim of this paper is to compare the work profile and employment destination of two graduate cohorts of pharmacists to explore what changes take place in employment practices and how quickly they occur.
