Career Opportunities in Pharmacy | Paths After Graduation 

Thank you so much!!

Congratulations for completing p2!! Another year down! Hope my content can shed some light!

This career sucks. I agree with John Shamoun. Most graduates think if you work hard and stay consistent and apply or reapply to residencies and hope for the best that it will all be good in the end and get the job that you want. Where in all reality a very small percentage of graduates get into residency or industry. The majority end up in retail like Walgreens and CVS where you get no respect from patients and you’re not even called doctor. You’re given a name tag with your first name on it and told what to do by senior techs especially when you float the first couple of years upon graduating. Even in residency or industry you’re still called by your first name. Less headache than retail though but you still get paid the same as retail if not less. Before you start thinking about pharmacy , think about opening up a pizza place first. You don’t have to go to school for that and be in debt ($243,000). Pharmacist salary is not as good as you think it is, and google is definitely way off

I am planning to study pharmacy but I honestly don’t want to do retail because the knowledge you have is way more valuable than sitting behind a counter and dispensing medicine all day. Maybe I can do retail at the beginning of my career for experience but I would like to pursue something better later like a PhD in pharmaceutics? Idk all that is wayyy into the future, but I’d appreciate further advice.

@@awesomeness7543 that is what I'm paranoid about i haven't started pharm d school yet but sometimes this thing strikes me up that after 6 year of tough degree sitting at the counter for dispensing medication, i mean what the F plus how society devalues new things.

🤣 so... the more important thing for you is that someone calls you "Dr"? wow. And me that always did everything to avoid being called Dr... 🙄

@@stephaniegomes8095if someone worked that hard to earn a doctorate, why not?

Hi! Thank you for your comment and the support! Congrats on picking pharmacy and your masters of biochemistry! Critical care is really ideal for the clinical side of things and my brother is actually a third year in pharmacy school and wanting to do that too!

Hello,Dear pharmacist, I am a student of the faculty of pharmacy. I am 1st class.What would be your valuable advice on behalf of pharmacy for me?

Yes

The Happy PharmD has a "Many Paths of Pharmacy" article. One of the careers was a "Nutritional Support Pharmacy". That might work for you. Best of luck

That's a great question! When pharmacists enter the pharmaceutical industry, it's not really in R&D, process development and commercial manufacturing. You're absolutely right to say you don't see pharmacists there and there is limited space for a pharmacist in research (definitely suggest the PhD track for that). In the industry, where you WILL see pharmacists are in departments such as: Medical Affairs, Clinical Development, Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance and Commercial and Marketing to name the main ones! Here it is becoming more and more evident that a pharmacist with a clinical background has an immense amount of value to work towards deliverables within these departments and provide insight from both a business need POV and clinical POV. It's for the same reason MDs are valued in the pharmaceutical industry and sit at high positions such as directors, VPs, etc and that reason is their clinical knowledge. If you have clinical knowledge, or even better if you have clinical practice experience face to face with patients, you are able to understand the science better and therefore provide for better outcomes while working at a pharmaceutical industry. Pharmacists definitely work in a clinical setting and that's where you'll see the most of them but our clinical knowledge is useful in other areas and career trajectories as well!

Moreover when you enter the pharmaceutical industry it's imperative you have other skills such as a business strategy mindset, leadership skills, etc so I think it's ver important for pharmacy schools to be harboring and honing in on those skills to make well-rounded pharmacists

@@FocusRx you don't need go to pharmacy school for any of that.

hello, I am a student of pharmacy faculty and I want to work in the field of R&D, in a pharmaceutical company. What should I do? What achievements should I achieve during university?You seem like an experienced person. Please I will be waiting for your valuable response, best regards..

Depends on what career you’re looking at! I am not well versed as to how accepted the B Pharm is in the US but I know some people who have a B Pharm degree and have gotten positions at pharmaceutical companies
