| Abstract | Professionalism and leadership are crucial factors for being a good pharmacy practitioner. In the academic year of 2005, Pharmacy students of Mahasarakham University (MSU) were surveyed using a one-year analytical cross-sectional study. The objectives were to examine the effects of pharmacy education and institutional socialization on students' professionalism and leadership. Overall, 400 pharmacy students from all six years of the course were selected to receive the self-administered questionnaire. Effects of pharmacy education and institutional socialization on professionalism and leadership were analyzed using multiple regression. A total of 311 (77.8%) usable questionnaires were returned for analysis. Significant factors affecting professionalism were students' academic development through their institutional experience and their socialization (f3=0.351, p<0.0001), their leadership as an aspect of emotional control ((3=0.165. p=0.002), and their pride in the pharmacy profession ([3=0.157, p=0.007). These variables accounted for 31.2% of the variance in professionalism. In terms of รณdents' leadership, their academic development from institutional experience and socialization showed the highest effect on the professionalism ((3=0.189, p=0.003). The pharmacy lecturers ((3=0.148, p=0.008) and the students' professional sense of calling ((3=0.154, p=0.016) also showed effects on students' leadership. These three variables accounted for 14.7% of the variance in students leadership. It was concluded that students' professionalism and leadership were associated with their institutional experiences and socialization. Lecturers, friends, academic development, attitude to the profession, and the institutional environments were also important factors for developing and enhancing students' professionalism and leadership. Pharmacy schools should take account of these factors and use them as the resources for setting their future strategic plans. |
