Heys, are you practicing in Western Australia ? =) Im currently working in Perth. Ha ha

Just a curious question for those of you studying pharmacy in Monash Sunway... did you have any lecturers from the Australian campus coming to visit and/or give lecture(s) as a guest?

Nope. but our lecturers did go over to Australia as guest lecturers though.

Thanks for the replies.

Now I just need to find out the average turnover (sales) for a pharmacy in KL.

I think 5% is too low - you might as well invest in something else and remain an employee. However I doubt many of these pharmacies run on such a low profit without a massive annual turnover in sales.
200k to start a pharmacy fully stocked and fitted out is a bargain by Western standards!

Anyone that works in pharmacy here knows what their store's annual turnover in sales is?

Cheers.

The thing is most independent pharmacies were set up years ago before the big cgains bubbled up. Those who want theit own pharmacy probably just buy over an existing pharmacy which includes the customer base as well. That's why cosway is so popular now.

actually i looking to study bpharm as well
my first degree is Bsc in biomedical sc
planing to take second degree mbbs/bds/bp
but for mbbs and bds, they req 5bs in spm even i got my degree result

Yes, that's why quite a few of my friends choose to remain with the gov or working with private chains.

Hi, I am new here. Can anyone suggest me which college is better to go for studying foundation in science? I intend to take pharmacy course after studying foundation in science. Or is it better to study A-level instead of foundation in science?

If I finished foundation/A-level, can I transfer to public uni to continue degree course? Does anyone has such this experience?

Actually, I am still waiting my SPM result and the problem is I have to go for PLKN on 31/3. That sounds like I have no time to plan my further studies.

P/s: I already searched for many college and considered the fee and scholarship too. But I still need to listen your advice and opinion. I'm just worrying about if I can't get my favorite course in ipta. And I have no chance to go to matriculation because I didn't apply correctly that time. So regret now

I need some expert advices regarding this Pharmacy profession.

1. I'm reading biotechnology, and I'm expecting myself to be specialized in the field of pharmacology (drugs design and mechanics). Also, I'm a rising Sophomore in one of the US private universities soon (intake Fall 2014, hopefully)

2. I've read somewhere on the net about Biotechnology with specialization in Pharmacology, and it is, likely, the same thing as Degree in Pharmacist (well, is it?)

3. If that so, can I apply for cert as a Pharmacist after I graduated?

TL;DR

I'm reading biotech, expecting to specialize in pharmacology. So, can I apply for cert as the Pharmacist do?

Thanks in advance!

@VilaFrantez

I'm not 100% about how things work in Malaysia but studying pharmacology does not make one a pharmacist, it makes you a pharmacology major I suppose. Pharmacy involves a lot of other things apart from pharmacology such as pharmacokinetics, clinical pharmacy, pharmacy practice/law etc..

well, thanks for your reply there bro Farmer_C

anyhow, I'm still okay with my choices on reading the Biotechnology - Pharmacology. I'll share things about Pharmacology later on if I managed to get some info 'bout it

@Farmer_C

Do you mind if I ask you what the organic compound you have as your dp is called?


Anyway, anyone doing MPharm at Taylor's here? Twinning to Cardiff sounds impressive. UNMC still my current choice though

Oh it's adenosine, something close to my heart because my research last year and PhD in the next 3 years involves this molecule. Do you know much about adenosine?

I'm only an A level student lol.


All I know about adenosine is that adenosine triphosphate = ATP = energy!!

Woops, I thought you were a postgraduate student from the sound of your previous post.

Yeah, ATP is just adenosine with 3 phosphate groups.

Organic chem be my favorite so far lol. Inorganic chem is boring as hell.


Anyway, do you have any idea if the news that Monash malaysia is now offering a twinning course for BPharm?

I haven't heard but students have been doing exchange programmes to Melbourne.

Hi, my sis is looking to go back to school, I was wondering what are some of the available options, what kind of jobs that come with the masters programmes etc? She currently has the pharmacist degree from aimst(bpharm i think).

You can now transfer to Parkville in your 2nd year. Not twinning though.
