Any of the hard sciences. You will be required to have completed a classic hard science grounding (Inorganic/organic chemistry, physics, calculus, biology, physiology) just to apply.\n\nHad I not got into Pharmacy school, I would have likely become a bitter drunk. Once I got in, I wasn't bitter......just drunk frequently.

Trinity College Dublin, Ireland\nThe pharmacy syllabus has been designed to provide you with an all-round education in both the basic and pharmaceutical sciences, and in the practice of pharmacy itself. \nWhile this degree is an essential requirement if you wish to practice as a community or hospital pharmacist, pharmacy at Trinity opens a wide variety of professional opportunities in both industry and the healthcare sector.

As a 4th year pharmacy student, let me give you a little advice. Pharmacy School is difficult, but it is a very rewarding career. You have the ability to provide care to patients in a way that no other healthcare professional can. If you are dedicated and have the intellegence, i would stick with it! Just remember that you will get no sleep and will be extremely stressed; we all are, but the rewards are great!!

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

Chemistry is the important one but the others match nicely too. If you go to www.ucas.com and do a course search, the different universities that offer pharmacy will tell you any specific requirements that they have, in terms of subjects at A Level. I do know though that as long as you have chemistry and any other subjects that each specific uni is asking for, it is absolutely fine for you to do another subject that you perhaps really enjoy but isn't related to your other subjects - psychology for example. It might make you a more interesting candidate amongst the tons of students all studying straight sciences. \n\nAlso, don't be afraid to ring some of the universities up (not around the time the results come out though!) and ask for the admissions tutor - or send them an e-mail. Some will be a little offhand but most will be helpful and pleased that you have taken the initiative to find out.\n\nHope this helps and good luck!

Go to your local pharmacy and ask to do a job shadow.  That is where you watch what they do for a day.  A lot of places will let you do this.  I am a Certified and licensed Pharmacy Technician.  I went to school for 18 months, and did an internship at a hospital and retail pharmacy setting.  They are so desparate for pharmacists some even help pay for college.  Or 'grow their own' to keep up with the demand for skilled pharmacists.  If you do decide to go into pharmacy, look for a pharmacy that does compounding.  It is very interesting to watch them make ointments, capsules, suppositories ect.  To be honest I dont really like pharmacy that much because it's too chaotic.  I would have liked it better if I could be in the compounding room actually making the drugs.  Remember...COMPOUNDING PHARMACY!  Also, retail pharmacy is more chaoctic than a hospital setting.

www.DrugDealers.com\n\nor you can just go the traditional way and choose a 4 year degree at a reputable university and actually go to class and study your brains out so that not only you have an excellent GPA, but that you also actually learn the information in the classes you take so that you can also get a high score on the MCAT. Then, apply to usually 10-20 different medical schools with the hopes that at least one accepts you. Study medicine for 4 years in a medical school, which most likely you won't be able to have any other life besides medical school. Then once you're done with 4 years of medical school you will most likely do a residency, which could possibly take another 4 years for a total of 12 years now. Then you can either start your own practice, or just work for some hospital as a doctor......\n\nbut the first website would probably be much easier....especially for you :-)

note im talking about pharmacists in the US, they have different powers and responsibilities in diffrent countries\n\n\ncommunity- working at walgreens, bob's pharmacy, etc. basically count pills, occasianally do a little compounding, answer people's questions, monitor for potential drug problems\n\nhospital- count pills, put them in blister tabs instead of bottles, give doctors advice if needed, make IVs, do some compounding\n\nnuclear pharmacy- prepare radioactive drugs that are used for cancer treatment and diagonostic testing\n\npharmacy consultant- go to nursing homes, hospitals etc. and review patient medications, fix problems, eliminate or add drug therapy, try to switch people to lower cost medications that would be as effective to save money.\n\nclinical pharmacist- work in patient care programs (lipid clinics, diabetes managment, drug therapy managment, research, etc)\n\nthose are the main fields, there are some other nontraditional things as well.\n\npharmacist mainly does the dispensing of drugs (have the degree BS in pharmacy-titled RPh, or Pharm.D- doctor of pharmacy), doctors (have a totally diffrent degree, an MD or DO) are the guys you go see when you are sick, and pharmacologists arent pharmacists, they are scientists who do drug research and try to develop new drugs (for degrees, they have a BS, MS, or PhD in pharmacology or pharmaceutical science or a Pharm.D and then do a couple years of a research fellowship to become certified). if youre interviewing to get into pharmacy school, it'll be fairly similar to a job interview., theyll probably ask stuff such as but not limited to "why do you want to do this" "why would you be a good pharmacist" "what are your strenghts and weaknesses" etc. just look on the web for interview preparation stuff.

You can do a 5-year program that incorporates an undergraduate degree with a graduate degree in pharmacy. You take classes in biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, physics, calculus, microbiology, and possibly some other core courses (they might vary).  These classes should have labs.

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.

find out which major university is nearest to your house (if you dont plan on moving away to go to pharmacy school.) i go to duquesne university pharmacy school. i'm in my last year of school. if you want to take all of the undergraduate classes at community college, tell your community college advisor that you are interested in pharmacy school. bring with you the undergraduate prerequisites from the major universities website. (mine would be www.duq.edu for duquesne), and follow links to pharmacy school, and undergrad courses. every university has the curriculum laid out as to what they require students to take in order to be eligible for the "professional phase" of pharmacy school (which basically means--all my undergrad courses are finished and i can now learn real pharmacy stuff.)\nif you get all of your undergraduate courses finished at community college, apply to the major university every year you are in community college (because they may get more pharmacy school applicants one year versus the next), and the earlier you apply the better. ALSO, go down to the major university and go to the pharmacy school offices and try to schedule a meeting with one of the advisors and find out what they have to say. You could probably give them a call and schedule some sort of meeting. I actually transferred into duquesne from pitt, so i needed to do a lot of this process. I do know that the earlier you get out of the community college and into the major university the better off you are!\nhope this helps!
