“…15 Although not exhibited by the Fjortoft study, students employed in pharmacy-related positions have opportunities to interact with employers and work colleagues to gain knowledge about the profession, which could affect the students' level of professional commitment. 15,27 Students who had work experience may have a better understanding of the responsibilities of the profession, which increased the response scores. Students were committed to the profession regardless of employment experience.…”

Objective. To assess prepharmacy students' perceptions of the professional role of pharmacists prior to enrollment in pharmacy school, and the association between perceptions and student demographics. Methods. A 58-question survey instrument regarding pharmacists' roles, work experiences, and demographics was developed and administered to students (N 5 127) enrolled in an organic chemistry laboratory experience at Purdue University. Results. Theory of planned behavior subscales (attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control) were influenced by students' grade point average, gender, and application to pharmacy school, while unpaid work experience affected professional commitment. Students evaluated work experience related to their pharmacy studies more positively than non-pharmacy-related areas in the theory of planned behavior subscales. Conclusions. Evaluating students' perceptions may be beneficial in helping pharmacy educators design their curricula, as well as allowing admissions committees to select the most qualified students to promote the development of positive perceptions toward the professional role of pharmacists. Grade point average (GPA) and application to pharmacy school were associated with significant differences for the theory of planned behavior and professional commitment subscales.

Objectives. To determine student agreement with objectives in our college professionalism curricular competency statement and to identify student perceptions about professional behavior within the college of pharmacy. Methods. Two hundred forty students (60 per curricular year) were randomly selected to participate in a cross-sectional survey. A 5-point Likert scale (strongly disagree to strongly agree) was used to rate 42 survey items.Results. Survey response rates by professional year (1 to 4) were 43 (71.1%), 47 (78.3%), 47 (78.3%), and 40 (66.7%). Agreement rates for survey items related to the college professional competency objectives varied from 79% to 100%. Third-year students had lower agreement rates than first-year students for 5 of 8 statements related to professionalism within the College. Conclusion. Students agreed that objectives listed in the college professional curricular competency reflected behaviors consistent with pharmacy professionals. Students agreed that the College should and did teach professionalism, and that the words and actions of faculty members' and themselves conveyed professionalism. In comparison, students, particularly those in their third year, believed that their classmates' words and actions less often conveyed professionalism.

The purpose of this paper is to provoke thought in the pharmacy academy about the critical and comprehensive need to address professionalism. Several forces are driving the need for this conversation: the movement toward pharmaceutical care as the practice standard requires a higher level of professionalism from practitioners; critical issues with regard to current practice that address patient safety, workload, and shortages in our profession; and the sentiment that there has been a decline in the professionalism of our students over the last several years as well as within society in general. This paper will comprehensively review the concept of professionalism, its value to pharmacy practice, challenges to its development, factors necessary to support it, and recommendations to foster it in the academy and in practice. We hope this paper serves as a call to action for administrators, faculty, practitioners, and students to think and discuss critically professionalism in pharmacy education, as well as to stimulate additional work in this important area.
