Abstract:

Objective: Professional socialization is the transition from a student to a professional. Using some existing tools and modifying some questions, a scale was developed to compare the level of student at different points in the curriculum.

Methods: Surveys are administered to the student population at Northeastern University at the end of the second preprofessional year prior to entering the P1 year and starting their first co-op experience. It will be administered to students at a school comparable in size and demographics to students at either the end of their preprofessional second year if available, or at the beginning of the P1 year. The survey will be administered to the same cohort of students at each school at the end of their P2 year. The comparison of students who participated in three co-op experiences will be made to students who work on their own during the summers to determine if there is a difference in their level of professional socialization.

Results: Pretesting of the survey provided some useful data. This information will be summarized and presented. The actual study is planned for the 2006-2008 time frame.

Implications: The examination of the Cooperative Education structure will be compared to a summer internship program, demonstrating that there is either a value added by a Cooperative Education program or there is no difference compared to a traditional program. If there is a value added, some of the components can be extrapolated to schools of pharmacy for inclusion in their pharmacy experiential programs.
