Pharmacy graduates motivated by career and promotion prospects

摘要

Career and promotion prospects are the major motivators for pharmacy graduates when they choose their preregistration training posts.The latest report from an ongoing longitudinal cohort study by the Pharmacy Practice Research Trust says that 86 per cent of undergraduates base their choice of training post on its long-term prospects and the likelihood of it offering good preparation for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's registration examination.The findings also,suggest that the pharmacy profession is becoming increasingly feminised and ethnically diverse,with 72 per cent of participants in the research being female and 47 per cent being from ethnic minority groups.
