Hi everyone, Im doing my 4th year MPharm degree currently. As im graduating in a year time, im wondering about PRP.
How difficult it is to get a place, particularly hospital?
And, is there any advice in choosing which hospital to apply to, if considering location is not an issue?

QUOTE(zstan @ May 3 2018, 08:08 AM) Public or Private hospital? Thanks for your reply! Im not sure which one suit me better but my preference would be one that can help me gain more experiences. So, I guess public hospital? And, also, i saw that from a post earlier in this thread that you are working in East malaysia. How does it differ from working in West malaysia?

What do you mean by experiences? Both private and public will offer you different experiences. In terms of workload not much difference if you are working in bigger hospitals. but personally i feel the people appreciate your efforts slightly more.

Anyway, how difficult it is to get a PRP in bigger hospitals (public or private) nowadays?

Tq If you are comparing quality of education they are about the same in terms of Malaysian context. The deal breaker would be are you planning to go overseas? then that factor alone will show the vaarious differences.

QUOTE(bryancwj_ @ Apr 17 2018, 10:46 PM) Hi guys, I'm currently 19 years old and thinking of pursuing pharmacy. I have an interest in medicine but don't want to be a doctor due to the time, cost and etec. So pharmacy is my best option. I wanna know what is the job prospect like for pharmacy graduates in the future as i heard from many of my family and friends telling me that pharmacy is over saturated and you cant get a job and that the wait is really long to get the PRP, is this all true? if so will the situation likely be improved by the time i graduate? And is it too late to start at 20? ill be starting my first year at 20 in IMU if i finish my foundation in science next year. And for anyone who's a pharmacist, what's it really like working as one? stressful? satisfying?  These are exactly the questions I wanna ask....Page 1 information was posted few years ago...I also heard that pharmacy is over saturated and by the time graduated after 4years it will be even more pharmacists and harder to get a job especially in hospital? And waiting for PRP will need at least 7 months onwards....
