A Review of Characteristics of Graduates in the Allied Health and Nursing Professions: Entry‐Level and Advanced Practice

The review explores the similarities and differences in graduate outcomes among healthcare professionals who have completed entry-level or advanced degree programs from the disciplines of nursing, dietetics, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and pharmacy. Graduates of advanced degree programs appear to have expanded job scope or functions beyond that of entry-level degree graduates, and higher-level degrees contribute to professional advancement and compensation advantages. Increased confidence, self-esteem, scholarly productivity, and professional involvement are documented outcomes of advanced degrees. More research is needed to discern whether the degree or contributing factors such as work setting, experience, or area of specialization impact graduate outcomes.
