QUOTE(yuuki94 @ Mar 3 2014, 11:51 PM) hi every1, i just graduated my stpm this year with cgpa 3.2 ..i thought of doing a degree in pharmacy. i meet d requirement of private uni but not public uni..i thought of doing it in ucsi since it is cheaper compare to imu n monash. however, it still need 110k. i have financial difficulties. ptptn loan i check oni supply ard 80k so d 30K have to use our own $?. besides, im constantly hearing pharmacist in msia are saturated, is it true?im worry about that ..thank u in advance for replying me ^^ What I heard from my friend's sister who is a pharmacist and she is working in government hospital, she said that there isn't much vacancy for pharmacists in government hospital now. Pharmacists' post in government hospital is almost full. And she said that she attended a seminar and in the coming future, if you want to get a post in government hospital, you need to undergo interview, test and etc. The work in government hospital is not guarantee. Anyway, there is still vacancy in private sector (maybe private hospital, community pharmacy, research area and etc). Correct me if I am wrong

QUOTE(zstan @ Mar 4 2014, 08:46 PM) well honestly pharmacy is not just about chemistry and helping people alone. do you even know what can a pharmacist do when you graduate from your course? cant help much about your financial condition though. all the best to you in that aspect  No offence but do you mind to tell, if pharmacy isn't just about biology, chemistry & helping people, then what is it about? And do you mind to tell why you want to do pharmacy at the first place?

QUOTE(zstan @ Mar 5 2014, 09:30 PM) apart from those subjects, pharmacy has aspects of physics, physiology (not biology), law, communication, business, logical reasoning and a lot more than "biology, chemistry & helping people". the pharmacy world is so huge now that you need not like to 'help people' if you are only keen in working in the corporate sector or industry. i am generally interested in the medical field and the various options that a pharmacy degree can offer. How you know you are interested in medical field? P/S: I just want to know 'how' to see if I am interested in it :/

I am a post A Levels student. Do anyone know how can I apply for a placement (or called shadowing) for hospital or even community pharmacy?
