Thank you for sharing your story! I also chose pharmacy over medicine and it involves similar thoughts and value systems. I pursued critical care and academia as a pharmacist after 9 years of training.

Wonderful! That’s great to hear! I must say choosing pharmacy was the best decision for me. Plus I work with MDs everyday now and I’m realizing we both have strengths & knowledge base that we bring together to improve the outcome of our patients. It’s a team effort for sure

Am waiting for another great video like this one next time 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

There is flexibility with medical school. There are EAP (early assurance programs) and dual degree programs where you complete 2-3 years of undergraduate and go straight into MD or DO school depending on what school the partnership is with you may or may not have to take the MCAT or interview to get in

Thanks for sharing!! I know for the residency piece and getting into your specialty there isn’t much flexibility because it is mandatory. PharmD is optional and 2 years max of residency, so guaranteed to be working in your specialty in a shorter time frame.

This was SO informative!! I actually chose my career (clinical social work) instead of clinical psych for the same reasons that you chose Pharmacy over medicine. It's much more flexible and way less time!! Since you've been in the field so far, is there a job that has particularly stolen your heart or would you say that you're still exploring that "perfect" match?

Hi 👋🏾 new subbie here!!! Can you maybe do a break down of pediatric pharmacy? I have a passion for child care but the salary isn’t cutting it and after nearly 10 years in the profession I am OVER IT lol! but I love working with children and have been considering pharmacy tech but I want to see if being a pharmacist is for me! 🙏🏾 P.S I’m about to binge watch your whole channel 😂

Hey!! Welcome to the pharmily 🤍 I love when people binge so go right ahead haha. I have some experience working with children in a pulmonologist (lung) office in the hospital so I can touch on how that experience was for me and some of the things to consider when working with pediatrics as a pharmacist. There’s a bunch of other jobs in pharmacy where you work with children outside of just lungs so you should go for it!!

I am currently a premed but am thinking about applying to pharmacy school after I graduate. I am very indecisive but have the same views as you. However the negative views everywhere about pharmacy and it’s over saturation is discouraging? I know that if I go to pharmacy I want to work for the government or hospital. Also can you further explain ambulatory. Is it the same as clinical?

Lovely

Thank you for this! I am currently on the prepharmacy track as a biology major. You mentioned you were a chemistry major in undergrad: do you feel like pharmacy as a profession heavily relies on chemistry? I don’t mind chemistry but I’d choose bio over Chem in a heartbeat lol.

@Doctormycurls

2 жыл бұрын

I love hearing you are on the pre pharm track! What school do you attend? I would definitely say the first year of school does cover a lot of organic chemistry (understanding structural changes and functional groups), but after P1 year you shift into more clinical calculations and drug treatment options so just focus in your organic chemistry and biochemistry courses to make sure you have a strong foundation coming in and you’ll be good even with a biology degree/major.

Hey do you have to do the 2 years of residency first before you go into doing the phd ?

@Doctormycurls

2 жыл бұрын

Hey! Nope so if you’re looking to get both your PharmD and PhD they have programs where you can do both at the same time. If you’re referring to just the pharmacy degree then no you don’t need residency first. The residency is optional and after the PharmD. Does this help?

The way you guys make your presentation. Do you understand ‘ chose over’ ? It means you had the opportunity for both and you chose one. It’s like getting admission for Medicine and Pharmacy and choosing pharmacy, which I doubt is the case. You guys should choose your words well
