Abstract

Tim Mickleborough’s research explores how former international pharmacy graduates (or IPGs) construct professional identities. It is a study of the reprofessionalization of pharmacy practice in the Canadian context, and the resocialization of IPGs into a profession that is in transition. Tim Mickleborough adopts a bricolage methodological approach to capture the complexity of professional identity construction. A Foucauldian governmentality approach was employed to analyze an archive of professional journals to determine how the profession governs its members to become responsibilized subjects who will adopt a ‘legitimate’ pharmacist identity related to discourses of healthcare and business sustainability through professional intervention.
