Medical and pharmaceutical professions hold significant social importance, playing a crucial role in life and health. The complexities within the pharmaceutical system, particularly in the context of martial law, bring forth new and heightened requirements for the training of pharmaceutical specialists. A key internal factor influencing the growth of future professionals is their professional motivation, a trait cultivated and developed during their training.

The purpose of the present study is to identify priorities in selecting a workplace, drawing insights from a survey conducted among 126 senior students at the Faculty of Pharmacy of Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University. The survey was conducted through the Google Forms service, using methods of analysis, synthesis, and generalization.

The findings reveal that the majority of future pharmacy masters express a preference for employment in private pharmacy chains, with a preference for weekday or day-shift work. Approximately forty respondents indicated an anticipated salary level not exceeding UAH 15,000. This aligns with the average salary for pharmacists in Ukraine, albeit slightly lower. Respondents highlighted factors such as opportunities for career growth, a convenient location, and a performance-based higher salary as crucial considerations when selecting a workplace. The majority identified the job search site www.work.ua as their primary source for information regarding vacant positions.

Key words: Master of Pharmacy, motivation, questionnaire.
