pharmacy is a great future, there are so many oppurtunities involved in it.  thats where im headed right now.  the program is tough but it is so worth it.  right now they say that in 10 years there will a shortage of about 50,000 pharmacists nationwide, which is a great number.  there is always a need for pharmacists, as long as there are medications and patients, the world will always need you, there isnt  a way for computers to replace you.  plus the money aspect is also a plus, the average graduate starts off at between 75-90,000 a year, all  depending on where you work, retail is more yet, but probably not worth it.  i work in pharmacy right now and am a student and i totally love it.  if your not sure try and get some experience in one to help you decide, but its definitely a good future.

Well, obviously, you need a good background in science, especially chemistry and biology.  But go online to a pharmacy school (or two or three) that you might be interested in attending, and there will be information there.  What we tell you here doesn't matter nearly as much as what the particular school requires of you.\n\nAs an example, here is the information from the USC Pharmacy school.  But check out some others as well. Good luck.\n\nPre-pharmacy Course Requirements\nA minimum of 90 semester or 135 quarter units must be completed prior to entrance, with a 3.0 cumulative GPA. These requirements may be completed at any accredited two-year and four-year college or university. All courses must be completed with grades of C or higher. Grades of Pass/No Pass will not be accepted (unless a course is offered only on a Pass/No Pass basis).\n\nPre-pharmacy requirements in the following areas must be repeated if they are 9 years or older at the time the application is submitted: mammalian physiology, microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry and organic chemistry (full year). These courses must be repeated at a four year college/university.\n\nA Bachelor's degree is not required, but highly recommended. Candidates who have received or will receive a Baccalaureate degree or who have completed units in excess of the minimum required will be considered more favorably than applicants who have fulfilled only minimum requirements.\n\nMathematics and Physical Sciences\nBiological Sciences\nEnglish Composition\nInterpersonal Communication\nPsychology or Sociology\nEconomics\nSocial and Behavioral Sciences\nHumanities\nInternational Course Work\nRequired Pre-pharmacy Course List\n\nMathematics and Physical Sciences\nOnly courses for science majors are accepted. It is highly recommended that math and science courses be completed during the regular academic year and not during a summer term.\n\nCalculus: one semester or two quarters are required. The course should include differential and integral calculus for science majors.\n\nStatistics: one course is required.\n\nGeneral Chemistry: a one-year course including laboratory, for science majors, is required. The course should include inorganic chemistry and qualitative analysis.\n\nOrganic Chemistry: a one-year course for science majors, including laboratory, is required. If the school offers less than a one-year course, the student must complete the second semester at another institution.\n\nPhysics: a one-year course for science majors, including laboratory, is required. If the school offers less than a one-year course, the student must complete the second semester at another institution.\n\nBiological Sciences\nBiology: a one-year course for science majors is required in general biology with laboratory (excluding courses in human anatomy, human physiology, botany and microbiology). If the school offers less than a one-year course, the student must complete the second semester at another institution.\n\nMicrobiology: one course with laboratory for science majors is required\n\nPlease note: Microbiology is offered only in the fall at some institutions\n\nMammalian Physiology: one course with laboratory for science majors is required\n\nMolecular Biology: one course for science majors is required.\n\nBiochemistry: one course for science majors is required.\n\nEnglish Composition\nTwo semesters or three quarters of expository writing (or two quarters of composition and one quarter of approved literature) are required. Remedial English and English as a Second Language (ESL) are not acceptable.\n\nInterpersonal Communication\nCourse should include practice in relationship development; conflict management and resolution.

you usually need 2 years of prepharmacy  (a fewschools require 4, most are just 2) and then after prepharmacy, you apply to pharmacy schools (pharmacy school is 4 additional years, so its 6-8 yrs to become a pharmacist). research the school you want to go to to see what the prereqs are that you need to take for prepharm, admission standards, all that fun stuff. if you have questions, email the school (whoever their contact is). some schools have guaranteed admission programs, where you are accepted then have to meet GPA and other requirments for prepharmacy and if you do youre automatically accepted to the professional program

Yes and No! I'm thinking of studying abroad in the US next year so I've had to look at the differences. Australia has the easiest education system compared to many countries. A lot of Americans come over here (especially for university) and find they get perfect grades because we don't have as many assignments or tests and our exams are comparitively easy. They seem to find themselves doing a lot of "sitting around!"\n\nIn a lot of instances, Australia's education system has failed many Australians - especially in primary and secondary schools. There is no emphasis put on things that must be known for life (spelling and grammar for example), and heavy emphasis put on the things that will never be used. There is unnecessary pressure on getting into university "first time round" or the misconception is, that you've lost the opportunity forever. \n\nOn the otherhand, Australia has some of the best universities in the world, where some of the leading research has come from. Flinders University in Adelaide (South Australia) is the leader is medicine, particularly in this country. They have produced some of the finest research and made many important medical breakthroughs. Griffith University in Brisbane and the Gold Coast (Queensland) has one of the best Buisness schools in world, and also has the worlds only masters degree in Suicidology. Several universities in Melbourne pride themselves on their degrees in engineering, business and meteorology. Many of these universites have international businesses battling to take students on once they have graduated. As you can see, we have some brilliant universities, and once you've gotten to university I would say that, yes, we are the envy of the world. In primary and secondary education however, we are a disgrace! If you are considering coming to Australia make your choice wisely as to where you will go because some universities have quite a poor reputation while others have people desperate for a place!\n\nHope this answered your question!!

Most of the school in USA is only has Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D) program and I think you need to have M Pharm to apply for it.

Yes it is hard to get in to Pharm School.  My roomate was pharm student.  \n\nIf you apply yourself it'll be alright.  But you'll have to be really good at memorization (in terms of medications and their generics) and you'll have to do a lot of chemistry. \n\n Most Pharmacy students ONLY study.  But it is well worth it in the long run because you'll make really good money when you graduate.  \n\nHe went to Ferris State university in Big Rapids, Michigan which is great school for Pharmacy.   Good Luck!

Both my mother and I used the "Pharmacy Trainer" system and both passed the national certification on our first try with no prior pharmacy experience.  Its a lot cheaper than other courses out there but covers all the important stuff.

According to studies, the top educational system is Finland's, whose students scored the highest in reading, math, and science tests.  They also have an amazingly high literacy rate.\n\nOther high-ranking countries:\nMath: South Korea, Canada, Hong Kong/China, the Netherlands, Macao, and Liechtenstein\n\nReading: South Korea, Canada, Australia, and Liechtenstein\n\nScience: Japan, Hong Kong/China, South Korea, Liechtenstein, Australia, and Macao

I have no idea, but good luck with it! I'm taking that next semester through school. Try googling pharmacy tech?

In the U.S., the degree to become a pharmacist is a graduate level degree called the PharmD. degree. While there are some accelerated programs here in the U.S., most of the pharmacy schools require applicants to have completed their bachelor's degree. As far as I know, there is no PharmD program that is online. There may, however, be online programs for pharmacy technicians or pharmacy assistants, but they are not the same as a pharmacist. If you are looking at such programs, I would be very careful to check out that they are accredited by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board http://www.ptcb.org/\n\nIf you'd like more information about the differences between these titles/jobs, and their training, I'd suggest you read through the resources at The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. They are the main accrediting agency for pharmacist training programs, and frankly, a program that claims to make you a "pharmacist" that isn't accredited by them will be a waste of time because you won't be able to become a licensed pharmacist.  \n\nLook under the link labeled "for students and applicants" in the left hand column and you will find details about what exactly is needed for the PharmD degree - You will also find links to all accredited PharmD programs on the same page. There is also some excellent information about careers in pharmacy. \nLINK: http://www.aacp.org/\n\nAnother resource is the  American Pharmacists Association: http://www.aphanet.org//AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home\n\nCarolyn Lawrence, www.AdmissionsAdvice.com

Pharmacy is more chemistry oriented. For medical, you will have to take it to know which medications to prescribe, but the majority of your studies will be biology and anatomy.  Try speaking with a counselor at your school, they can help alot =]

normally you have to complete undergrad classes before you go into pharmacy\ngo where ever you want (as long as those class transfer to university) but make sure you have a very, very high GPA)\n\nThese are courses you will likely have to complete before you apply for a pharmacy program:\n    * Chemistry: \n    * Biology\n    * Math: \n    * English: \n    * Organic chemistry: \n    * Physics:\n    * Economics: \n    * Humanities: one course\n    * Psychology or sociology: one course (e.g., PSY 100, SOA 100)

Actually it's between a Pharm D (Doctorate) and a Masters (RPH) if you want to work in the US as a pharmacist.  The B.S. will prolly on let you work as a Pharmacy Assistant under the direction of a Registered Pharmacist
