I am a pharmacist at Retail. I know I belong to the majority of ppl but i seriously wouldn’t recommend this career choice, you end up doing something that’s so far away from your study field.
This career sucks. I agree with John Shamoun. Most graduates think if you work hard and stay consistent and apply or reapply to residencies and hope for the best that it will all be good in the end and get the job that you want. Where in all reality a very small percentage of graduates get into residency or industry. The majority end up in retail like Walgreens and CVS where you get no respect from patients and you’re not even called doctor. You’re given a name tag with your first name on it and told what to do by senior techs especially when you float the first couple of years upon graduating. Even in residency or industry you’re still called by your first name. Less headache than retail though but you still get paid the same as retail if not less. Before you start thinking about pharmacy , think about opening up a pizza place first. You don’t have to go to school for that and be in debt ($243,000). Pharmacist salary is not as good as you think it is, and google is definitely way off
I am planning to study pharmacy but I honestly don’t want to do retail because the knowledge you have is way more valuable than sitting behind a counter and dispensing medicine all day. Maybe I can do retail at the beginning of my career for experience but I would like to pursue something better later like a PhD in pharmaceutics? Idk all that is wayyy into the future, but I’d appreciate further advice.
@@awesomeness7543 that is what I'm paranoid about i haven't started pharm d school yet but sometimes this thing strikes me up that after 6 year of tough degree sitting at the counter for dispensing medication, i mean what the F plus how society devalues new things.
Thank you for this video. I applied to PA school. I didn't get into one of the schools but they recommended me to their pharmacy school. I didn't know anything about pharmacist besides retail pharmacy. Once I did my research and watched videos on UA-cam I got so excited. Thank you for taking the time to do this video!
Thank you for your sharing! It is very informative. I finished my bachelor's degree in pharmacy in China and now currently moving to the US with my family so I am considering taking the PharmD course next year. since all the people around me only have ideas about retail pharmacists but it is not what job I want to do, I feel so confused about whether I should stay in this area. after watching your video I find out that I do want to do something with pharmacoeconomics in the future! wish me good luck lol
Love this video very much ! I will be applying in two years while I’m in my masters of biochemistry degree. I’m very interested in critical care . Thank you for explaining the other career options! ☺️
Hi! Thank you for your comment and the support! Congrats on picking pharmacy and your masters of biochemistry! Critical care is really ideal for the clinical side of things and my brother is actually a third year in pharmacy school and wanting to do that too!

First sister u have best vocabularies and communication skills .The info was very good..Most I liked tone of ur English, I want to learn the same ..Please help me..
If you are interested in the pharmaceutical industry and pharmaceutical development, may I ask why you didn't opt for a PhD or research-centered degree? I work in the pharmaceutical industry (I work with R&D, process development, all the way up to commercial manufacturing) and I have never come across a pharmacist. Pharmacy is a patient-centered clinical practice degree, not a research degree. Your PharmD is not really tailored toward industry, but I hear a lot of pharmacy schools pushing this (I don't understand why besides trying to get students into their PharmD program.) What are your thoughts?
That's a great question! When pharmacists enter the pharmaceutical industry, it's not really in R&D, process development and commercial manufacturing. You're absolutely right to say you don't see pharmacists there and there is limited space for a pharmacist in research (definitely suggest the PhD track for that). In the industry, where you WILL see pharmacists are in departments such as: Medical Affairs, Clinical Development, Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance and Commercial and Marketing to name the main ones! Here it is becoming more and more evident that a pharmacist with a clinical background has an immense amount of value to work towards deliverables within these departments and provide insight from both a business need POV and clinical POV. It's for the same reason MDs are valued in the pharmaceutical industry and sit at high positions such as directors, VPs, etc and that reason is their clinical knowledge. If you have clinical knowledge, or even better if you have clinical practice experience face to face with patients, you are able to understand the science better and therefore provide for better outcomes while working at a pharmaceutical industry. Pharmacists definitely work in a clinical setting and that's where you'll see the most of them but our clinical knowledge is useful in other areas and career trajectories as well!
Moreover when you enter the pharmaceutical industry it's imperative you have other skills such as a business strategy mindset, leadership skills, etc so I think it's ver important for pharmacy schools to be harboring and honing in on those skills to make well-rounded pharmacists
hello, I am a student of pharmacy faculty and I want to work in the field of R&D, in a pharmaceutical company. What should I do? What achievements should I achieve during university?You seem like an experienced person. Please I will be waiting for your valuable response, best regards..
Is there anything I could do with just a bachelors in pharmacy/chemistry? I am currently CPhT and I’m already 32 years old so I’m not really wanting to go to school for 8 years
I am interested in Pharmacy but i also have a big interest in Nutrition since it is also the major I’m doing in my undergrad. Is there a career in pharmacy that kinda combines pharmacy and nutrition?
The Happy PharmD has a "Many Paths of Pharmacy" article. One of the careers was a "Nutritional Support Pharmacy". That might work for you. Best of luck
DO NOT GO INTO PHARMACY!!! I REPEAT!! DO NOT GO INTO PHARMACY. Its a dying profession, salaries have nearly been sliced in half and its ridiculously saturated. Unless you want to be $200K+ in debt( with an avg. income of $60-70k), running around at Walgreens, pulling 12 hour shifts, choose something else...anything else!
Depends on what career you’re looking at! I am not well versed as to how accepted the B Pharm is in the US but I know some people who have a B Pharm degree and have gotten positions at pharmaceutical companies

🤣 so... the more important thing for you is that someone calls you "Dr"? wow. And me that always did everything to avoid being called Dr... 🙄
@@stephaniegomes8095if someone worked that hard to earn a doctorate, why not?
I like your video. It's good to see a former student of mine contributing to science & society! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!!

Pharmacy is a huge responsibility. Only the top scoring students should be allowed to study it
I’m about to binge watch all your videos!! I just finished up my P2 year and am trying to figure out where exactly I fit in the world of pharmacy.
Congratulations for completing p2!! Another year down!
Hope my content can shed some light!

Hello! Can any pharmacist work in producing custom formulated products , environmentally friendly chemicals products ?
Yes
