Abstract

Factors influencing undergraduates' selection of Pharmacy as a course of study, career, study and professional perspectives were evaluated by survey over the years 2004-2006 at Otago University, New Zealand. Altruistic intent emerged as a powerful motivator for choosing pharmacy and entrepreneurial career intentions were prominent. A sizeable though declining number of students selected pharmacy secondarily to medicine or dentistry. Gender differences were found between intended areas of practice.
