Abstract:
|
Objective: Schools/Colleges have an interest in developing and promoting student leadership. This study investigated whether entering students with varying pre-pharmacy years in college differed in their extent of involvement in pharmacy leadership positions.
Methods: P1-P3 students (394) in the 2004-2007 classes were classified as either early assurance (EA), two years of college not early assurance 2Y, three or more years of college but no degree (3Y+) and Bachelor’s degree or higher (BD). Students were classified as either holding any elected office or not, total number of officer positions and whether they were a member of Phi Lambda Sigma (PLS). Statistical analysis was conducted using Goodness of Fit analysis (G-tests).
Results: The percentage of students that held at least one leadership position were 27.1%, 31.9%, 26.8% and 30.2% for EA, 2Y, 3Y+ and BD, respectively. EA students held a total of 71 offices compared to 45 for 2Y, 39 for 3Y+ and 80 for BD students. The percentage of students who were selected for PLS was 12.1% for EA, 15.3% for 2Y, 16.1% for 3Y+ and 13.5% for BD. There were no statistical differences in these leadership measures between any of the above groups and between the EA students compared to the other three groups combined.
Implications: Leadership activities, as measured by the number of students with at least one office, total number of offices and membership in PLS, is independent of the number of previous years in college in this cohort of students. |
