Description
Reed and colleagues ask whether pharmacology degrees build the attitudes the field expects. Their 2026 paper surveys views on the British Pharmacological Society core curriculum, which lists 18 attitudes graduates should hold, from valuing evidence to seeing the subject's social relevance. Knowledge and skills had been assessed before, but attitudes had not.
An online survey reached 118 current undergraduates and 70 graduates through the society's educator network. Both groups mostly agreed their degree had developed each attitude, with agreement strongest for appreciating how pharmacology matters to society. The weakest area in both groups was spotting job opportunities and pursuing career goals. Graduates answered with more spread and stronger views at both ends than students still studying.
