Introduction

The primary objective was to assess the impact of an optional student-directed career development program on career and professional development between the second and third year of a doctor of pharmacy curriculum.

Methods

Students who completed the student-directed practicum (SDP) completed a nine item pre−/post-survey assessing its impact on their career development within the learning constructs of discovery, application, and reflection. Additional open-ended questions assessed why students participated in the SDP and their perceived benefits of doing so. An additional questionnaire regarding the impact of the practicum was conducted at graduation. Quantitative data were analyzed with Wilcoxon signed-rank test for the pre−/post-survey and descriptive statistics for the graduation survey while qualitative data used a two-cycle open coding process.

Results

Statistically significant increases were noted with those responding with “agree” or “strongly agree” to each of the nine statements in the pre−/post-survey. Students participated to further explore career options, and believed doing so resulted in enhanced career direction and future employability. The graduation survey showed those participating in the SDP had a higher rate of: postgraduate placement (86% vs. 77%), receiving ≥ five residency interview offers (81% vs. 69%), and first or second choice residency match (92% vs. 85%) compared to those who completed an internship outside of the SDP. Students commented that the SDP was a valuable part of their education and helped them take the next steps for their career.

Conclusions

A student-directed career development experience can positively impact student's career direction and professional development.

通过以学生为导向的实习探索职业发展,提供个性化的学习体验

介绍

主要目标是评估可选的以学生为导向的职业发展计划对药学博士课程第二年和第三年之间职业和专业发展的影响。

方法

完成学生指导的实习 (SDP) 的学生完成了九个项目的前/后调查,评估其在发现、应用和反思的学习结构中对他们职业发展的影响。其他开放式问题评估了学生参加 SDP 的原因以及他们认为这样做的好处。在毕业时进行了关于实习影响的额外问卷调查。定量数据使用 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验分析前/后调查和毕业调查的描述性统计,而定性数据使用两循环开放编码过程。

结果

那些对调查前/调查后的九个陈述中的每一个都表示“同意”或“非常同意”的人的统计显着增加。学生参与进一步探索职业选择,并相信这样做会增强职业方向和未来的就业能力。毕业调查显示,参加 SDP 的人在以下方面的比率更高:研究生安置(86% 对 77%)、收到 ≥ 5 个住院医师面试邀请(81% 对 69%)以及第一或第二选择住院医师匹配(92 % vs. 85%)与那些在 SDP 之外完成实习的人相比。学生们评论说,SDP 是他们教育中很有价值的一部分,并帮助他们在职业生涯中迈出了下一步。

结论

以学生为导向的职业发展经历可以对学生的职业方向和职业发展产生积极影响。
