Abstract
Māori pharmacists are under-represented within the pharmacist community at 2.1%. This figure is substantially lower than the approximately 18% representation of Māori within the total population of Aotearoa New Zealand. The purpose of this research was to determine why Māori stay in the pharmacy profession, consider leaving or leave the profession, and what roles they move into if they leave. Those who had ever been a Māori pharmacist were invited to complete an anonymous online questionnaire. The responses of the 28 participants, representing approximately 26% (n = 23) of registered Māori pharmacists (n = 89), plus five who had left the profession, are presented here.
