Pharmacy students, as the prospective professionals in the medical field, their ideological caliber and mental well-being are of paramount significance for both personal development and the advancement of the industry. This research focuses on pharmacy students, conducts a comprehensive analysis of their psychological perplexities and expectations, and explores the ideological education path. The students are confronted with challenges such as academic stress, career-choice perplexities, and interpersonal relationship problems. At the same time, they aspire for a favorable professional growth prospect, more practical opportunities, and all-round personal development. The existing ideological education approach has achieved certain results; however, it has drawbacks such as the weak relevance of educational content, a monotonous methodology, the necessity to enhance the teaching workforce, and an imperfect assessment mechanism. The strategies to improve the ideological education path mainly include enhancing the relevance of educational content, innovating teaching methods, strengthening the construction of the teaching team, and refining the educational evaluation system. This provides support for cultivating medical talents with excellent professional ethics and a strong sense of social responsibility. In the future exploration of the ideological education path, unremitting efforts should be made to provide superior ideological education services for the growth and progress of pharmacy students.
