Indian journal of pharmaceutical education and researchSummary: Objectives: This study aimed to measure the level of preparedness of recent pharmacy
program graduates to deliver patient care. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional
study was conducted using a validated self-administered online survey. Intended
outcome measures of the survey instrument include the perception of 46 graduates
regarding 16 patient care attributes. Results: Most graduates believe that they acquired
the attributes named in this study. Gender appeared to not influence graduates’ belief
in the possession of attributes of interest. Graduates working in the private sector or
currently seeking employment reported less confidence in possession of attributes
related to “self-awareness”, “self-learning”, “self-audit”, “excitement towards pharmacy
subjects”, “tolerance of uncertainty” and “compassion’’. Conclusion: Results suggest
that pharmacy curricula provided adequate support for graduates’ confidence to provide
patient care with equal harmony between male and female campuses. Moreover,
government employment installed higher confidence in pharmacy graduates compared
to the private sector.
