To determine whether (1) differences exist between BSPharm and PharmD pharmacists in practice site selection, activities, attitudes; and (2) differences in activities and attitudes exist unique between BS and PharmD pharmacists in hospital settings and in community settings.
A survey was designed and sent through the mail.
The BSPharm graduating classes of 1985 and 1986 the PharmD graduating classes of 1988-1990 from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Usable responses were received from 65% (n = 159) of the BSPharm cohort and 54% (n = 176) of the PharmD cohort.
The outcomes under study were: (1) the choice of practice setting of the first job and the current job; (2) percent of time spent in 4 broad categories of pharmacists' activities: prescription processing, clinical activities, management, and educating; (3) levels of intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction; and (4) levels of professional commitment.
Chi-square results indicated that more BS pharmacists were practicing in community settings than were PharmD pharmacists. Multivariate analysis of variance results indicated that PharmD pharmacists were spending significantly more time in clinical and educating activities, and less time in prescription processing, controlling for any effect associated with age. PharmDs were significantly more committed to the profession and had higher levels of intrinsic job satisfaction. Analysis of data on 122 hospital pharmacists showed that PharmDs were spending significantly more time on educating activities and less time in processing prescriptions than BSPharm pharmacists, and that they were more intrinsically satisfied. No differences were found between BSPharm pharmacists and PharmD pharmacists in community settings.
The results of this study suggest that the additional clinical education in PharmD programs may have a role in developing pharmacists with greater professional commitment and job satisfaction.
确定（1）药学学士（BSPharm）和药学博士（PharmD）药师在执业地点选择、活动及态度方面是否存在差异；（2）在医院环境和社区环境中，药学学士和药学博士药师在活动及态度方面的差异是否独特。
设计了一项调查问卷并通过邮件发送。
伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校1985年和1986年的药学学士毕业班，以及1988 - 1990年的药学博士毕业班。
收到了药学学士队列65%（n = 159）和药学博士队列54%（n = 176）的有效回复。
所研究的结果包括：（1）第一份工作和当前工作的执业环境选择；（2）在药师活动的四大类（处方处理、临床活动、管理和教育）中花费时间的百分比；（3）内在和外在工作满意度水平；（4）职业承诺水平。
卡方检验结果表明，在社区环境中执业的药学学士药师比药学博士药师更多。多变量方差分析结果表明，在控制年龄相关影响的情况下，药学博士药师在临床和教育活动上花费的时间显著更多，而在处方处理上花费的时间更少。药学博士对该职业的投入明显更高，内在工作满意度水平也更高。对122名医院药师的数据进行分析表明，与药学学士药师相比，药学博士在教育活动上花费的时间显著更多，在处方处理上花费的时间更少，并且他们的内在满意度更高。在社区环境中，药学学士药师和药学博士药师之间未发现差异。
本研究结果表明，药学博士项目中的额外临床教育可能有助于培养具有更高职业承诺和工作满意度的药师。
