A formal academic and career advisement program in a doctor of pharmacy program significantly increased personalized advisement for students. The program ensured nearly all students received faculty guidance, enhancing their academic and career understanding over time.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Higher Education Administration
Background:
- Formal academic and career advisement programs are crucial for student success in professional degree programs.
- Implementing structured advisement can address varying levels of student engagement with faculty guidance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of a formal academic and career advisement program on doctor of pharmacy students' experiences.
- To compare advisement experiences between students in a formal program and those prior to its implementation.
Main Methods:
- A survey with quantitative and qualitative questions was administered to assess student perceptions of the advisement program.
- Student experiences were compared across three cohorts: pre-advisement, and two cohorts (1 and 2) participating in the formal advisement program.
Main Results:
- The formal advisement program significantly increased the percentage of students receiving personalized advisement from 65% to over 94%.
- Despite the program's mandatory nature, Advisement Cohort 2 showed similar outcomes to the pre-advisement cohort on understanding scales, suggesting long-term impact.
Conclusions:
- Formal advisement programs can be successfully implemented to ensure comprehensive student support.
- Evidence suggests that the full impact of such programs may take time to manifest, highlighting the need for ongoing faculty development.
