I would like to know if I want to get a license to practice in Malaysia as a Pharmacist. How should I go about it ? And do I have to work in a hospital to obtain a license? I am currently holding both Australia and Singapore pharmacist license.

Want to ask where can I download modules / handbook of purchasing and inventory for hospital pharmacy ?
Government no longer have vacancy for us . Is time to think about private hospital . Want to upgrade myself with knowledge on purchasing . Any senior can help ??

Can visit pharmacy.gov.my information all there.
No u just need to sit for a forensic exam and u r good to good.

Can just refer to any purchasing modules it's the same process apart from certain drugs

This could be a lil bit last minute, but I will be having my forensic exam on the day after tomorrow so ....

Does anyone have ppt about the tutorial or last year questions with answers? Lol

All answers can be found from the book don't worry

Lol I hope I could pass. Some of the questions quite tricky though. Anyway do you happen to know what are day book and separate book lol

you just need to get 50% correct. if you can't even do that with an open book then you really shouldn't be doing pharmacy lol.

what do u mean by day book and separate book?

Lol I was just panicked and your reply makes me so stress lolll

Never mind just LET IT GOOO Lol

All the best.. :-)

Hello there! Could you share some of your experience?
I'm graduating this year, and I plan to go for industry for my PRP. Is it competitive to enter? Will placement take long?

Hello, I could not give you the answer on the placement as there are many pharmaceutical companies and their vacancies might difer.

I do not know of the process of engaging PRP's in pharma companies. In my time we enter as an already registered pharmacist. In my case I've already worked for 4 years plus before joining pharma. So its a different ball game. freshies like you might be subject to competitions from other applicants as you all have nothing much to contribute in the beginning but more of learning from the work in industries and slowly master the processes.

Why you want to go industry? Do u actually know what a pharmacist in industries does? Its not easy. working hours might be long and work is tough. You sure you want?

Oh I see.

I want to go because it's more challenging. I've done placements in community pharmacy as well as hospitals. (Not counting the university placements) I don't think it's something I can do long term. One of my seniors told me to intern at an industry to really get to know what a pharmacist does, all I'm doing now is reading on the internet. But to answer your question, yes. I'm pretty sure this is what I want.

Thank you for your input.

So what have you read so far?

Appreciate some feedback from those who have studied and are studying pharmacy at:
* IMU
* AiMST

on the good and the bad (lecturers, facilities, environment, fellow students, etc).

Many thanks.

P/S Feedback from other uni are most welcomed as well.

Does licensed pharmacy really earns like God pay?

How much does god earn?

God don't use money.
My meaning is, does pharmacy pays like /k salary?
I have seen many pharmacy in Malaysia having hard time obtaining their license here.
My cousin also having hard time

what is /k salary? pharmacy is a shop. you mean pharmacist? why is your cousin having a hard time? she has trouble completing her training?

Oops. Pharmacist.
Yea. My cousin couldn't complete her training due to the saturated pharmacist graduate.
/k salary =20k per mth.
So, pharmacist without a license can consider useless in Malaysia? Besides doing sales..
