Extracurricular activities are voluntary participations that students engage in outside of classrooms. This studyaimed to determine Korean pharmacy students’ degree of involvement in extracurricular activities, motivations behind participation,and influences from those engagements. The study was performed as a voluntary online survey to pharmacy studentsin four pharmacy schools in Korea and a total of 188 students participated. Sixty-one percent and 34% of studentsreported that they were involved in at least one extracurricular activities in-school, and out-of-school, respectively. Areaswith most involvements were arts/music/sports (73%), followed by volunteer activities (31%). Thirty two percentresponded that they have been involved in research internships, followed by 15% and 10% in pharmaceutical company andcommunity pharmacy internships, respectively. For motivations behind involvement, students indicated that their involvementwas for hobby (72%) and networking (38%). In conclusion, while Korean pharmacy students actively engage in extracurricularactivities, the range of activities was limited in scope, and most students were involved in extracurricularactivities as hobbies rather than for career exploration. Opportunities for student involvement in various pharmacy professionalorganizations and internships in the pharmacy work setting would provide valuable experiences for pharmacy studentsin their professional development as a pharmacist.
