I thought pharmacy board won't look at spm results unless it's a diploma programme?

if diploma, B in biology is enough.. but i want to take foundation in UIA but their minimum requirement for biology is B+

In that case maybe you have to consider other options...

I want to ask how is the life of pharmacist..

(1) Are they also busy like doctors and received on call too?
(2) What they do everyday. Juz stay in the lab.
(3) Do they make/ invent medicine? bcoz my fren says some pharmacists didn't make drug.
(4)How much would they gain if they involve in industrial sector.
(5) Study life. They learn about drug only or there are something else. Thanks

*In dilemma on which course to take...

the life of a pharmacist can be very varied depends on which industry you work in..but since you mention doctors then we will use the hospital setting as a comparison.

1) Yes, and yes, especially in places where there is a lack of pharmacist.
2) Ward rounds, dispensing, preparing IV nutrients etc... certainly don't stay in lab whole day..
3) If you working as a researcher in those drug companies then yes..
4) gain what? experience? money?
5) learn about many other things as well.

hi,im looking for best textbook to be us in pharmacy can you guyz recomend it, and can i know where to get the book. by the way i'm about to take the diploma.just a basic preparation.tq

What you guys think about UCSI for pharmacy? Pros and Cons? Thanks a lot!

hi i m a spm leaver here.. just got my result which is A+ for bio n chem.. i m interested in chemistry..math.. but not bio..so should i study pharmacy? and i oso know that chemistry in spm is too basic that i cant really say that i love chemistry... but compare to actuary (i m interested in actuarial science as well) ... i believe pharmacist ll have better career prospect in malaysia..

Try not use subject interest as your main reason of joining pharmacy... You should think why do ou want to make pharmacy as your career and do more research about the career prospects and figure out whether it's suitable for you or not. Since you have strong marks for bio I believe you still can make it through if you work hard.

my brother finished his diploma in pharmacy in Masterskills. If he want to further his study in Bachelor of Pharmacy, can he transfer his credits?

Nope. He has to redo another 4 years if he wants to continue with the degree.

owh...in any Uni?is it becoz of his masterskills dip or its like that for pharmacy?

It's like that for all Diploma of pharmacy holders, regardless where you graduate from.

diploma is really a useless course.....unless you are happy to stop there....

same for diploma of physiotherapy.....no exemption going on to degree.....

i would like to know the difference of pharmacy practice in retail in malaysia and australia except the dispensing right.

the system involved..patient registration..prices of medications... etc..

what do you mean by a pharmacist getting overloaded? overloaded with jobs/stress?

I assume he meant by whether will there be too much pharmacists after 5-6 years..

many.....you can count pharmacists....

He was hyperbole-ing la bro. Style of language. Right?
