    Abstract:
    Graduates of the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) Doctor of Pharmacy program from 1970 to 1981 were surveyed to determine their practice patterns, professional activities, and attitudes toward the profession of pharmacy. Of 1061 surveys mailed in September 1982, 752 (72%) were returned. A majority of respondents indicated that they would choose pharmacy as a profession again if starting over and that they would advise a friend to enter the profession. The private hospital setting was the practice site cited most frequently by respondents. Over one third of practicing pharmacists were actively enrolled in or had completed advanced pharmacy training. California was the practice location for 84% of respondents; only one third indicated that salary was very important or somewhat important in their decision to practice at their current location. A large percentage of respondents were involved in teaching, community service activities, and professional associations. Most entry-level UCSF Pharm.D. graduates are satisfied with their professional status and find opportunities for advancement.
