what is the landscape of community pharmacy currently in the eastern states (including full time position as a pharmacist)? 

warehouse pharmacies are driving independents out of business - affecting the margins. it is happening everywhere but would you say that the competition is worse in the eastern states?

what is the starting pay over in eastern states assuming you managed to secure a full-time position as a pharmacist (newly grad)?

@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

I'm only an A level student lol.
All I know about adenosine is that adenosine triphosphate = ATP = energy!!

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?

What was your research about with adenosine? related to the heart or DNA stuff?

Oh interesting. wondering how adenosine agonism works. As i know the antagonist is helpful in anti-platelet actions though bradycardia and shortness of breath as the side effects makes the treatment a bit tricky for the target group.

I hope this thread is still up and running!

Well I just received my SPM result and I got 7A+ 3A. I got A+ for Fz and chem and acct but A for Bio. During my form 4 and form 5 I've been leaning towards medicine in Ireland but then after deeper research, it says that there's too many doctors right now. Plus the working hours is hectic. And I need to study for 7 years in total. So I'm really hesitant right now. Furthermore, I only got A for Bio so I'm thinking is it right to pursue the medical line or change to accounting?

What I can say is that I'm good with numbers. I love addmaths and can score the paper if I put my heart into it. But! I also love Biology but can never seem to score for it no matter how much I read and do exercises -,- For accounting, it's not that I really like it or anything but it's one of those paper that I will always score bcs it's all abt remembering the format. With this, is it 'okay' for me to continue on pharmacy?

What I really want to ask is that :

1) is it true that pharmacist is over-flowing too? Not much job available after graduating?

2) Fresh graduates can go straight to private sector or have to do some compulsory service? (I heard need to do a year?) And does this mean there's too many pharmacist? But if can go straight to private sector isn't that a disadvantage? I mean you'll have no experience being in a hospital dealing with cases and learn from senior pharmacists?

3) I'm thinking of applying for Mara Schlrshp for the "3 years in Malaysia and 2 years in UK" course. With this I don't have to worry abt getting recognition and such right? Worrying if the programme is recognized. And after this programme I'll be MPharm or BPharm? (I'm sorry still confused with all these)

4) If I continue to Masters, how my journey will be after completing the degree? How many years will it be? And does that mean I will have better chance of getting a job by doing masters?

I'm sorry if the question has been asked/explained somewhere. If it's hassle to tell it all over again, you can just show me the link to the page or anything and I'll do the reading. Thank you so much!

I'm having my SPM this year and I'm planning to take on Pharmacy or PHarmacology

I really love Chemistry! and Biology!

If it's possible, I would like to study Pharmacy at Kyoto, and live there.

Hi guys, I'll be going to stpm next month. Will pharmacist be real saturated by the year of 2020? From what I counted ( duration of stpm, Bpharm course, and gov service), I think I’ll be graduating around that year. So any ideas? Is there a possibility that I will be jobless upon graduating?

Hello people!
BPharm studet from IMU here. 

i would like to know and understand more about what do pharmacies do in hospital.
Are they sittin' in the counter and dispensing those drugs prescribed by doctor?
and for those pharmacies who didn't need to do ward round and work at those common diseases ( eg cough,flu,fever) department, wouldn't they feel bored for their job as they just dispense more or less same drugs everyday ?
