Erik J. Porfeli studies how career development unfolds across the lifespan, with particular attention to how children and students form career expectations, aspirations, and preparedness. His work also extends to medical education, examining how admissions practices and enrollment strategies affect diversity in the physician workforce. This research combines developmental psychology, vocational behavior theory, and applied studies in educational and healthcare training contexts.
Publication output has been modest and irregular over the last decade, with small yearly counts, occasional gaps (e.g., 2022 and 2024), and an average of roughly 0.6 publications per year over the last five years.
