I just got into pharmacy school after careful consideration between pharmacy school or medical school. I chose pharmacy because it seemed to be more balance, rewarding (financially and patient difference) and catered to my strengths. Now after watching this video I’m worried if this was the right profession to go to. I see mixed opinions on the trajectory of pharmacy. 😢

Wow. I'm just an MPM, and this spoke to me.

Great video by the way, best analysis I've seen so far.

When I am asked about pharmacy, and should my kid think about pharmacy school, I’m torn. It can be a great career. (It’s no longer a profession) Now I just tell people: If you do go into pharmacy, do something interesting. There’s plenty of things to do with a pharmD. Don’t go into retail, don’t work for a major corporation. If your employer is on wall street, they are not looking out for you and your ability to do your job adequately. They are looking to make money for the investors. It’s that simple.

Wise insight. Do something interesting.

I am planning on starting pharmacy school soon, but everything you explain is what so many people tell me about the profession and I’m worried about the salaries decreasing and finding jobs. Do you think switching to med school is more reasonable at this point?

Physician suicide and burnout rates are just as high if not higher than pharmacists. Yes, they make anywhere from 25K to 50K annually more starting out. But you should pursue what you want, not what the the economy is doing or base your decision based on what you can get paid. You can make a decent living in nearly all healthcare industries.

As a recent pharmd graduate. If you do not LOVE pharmacy (which idk why you would) DO NOT DO IT. i wish every day i didnt do it. Ruined my life

@thehappypharmd 5 дней назад

@@DeweyNation That stinks. I’m sorry you feel that way. I felt that way after 3 years of practice. I hope you find a reason to love pharmacy again.

@Pharmacist9920 2 месяца назад

There are a lot of pharmacists who switch to med school now!

@thehappypharmd 2 месяца назад

Anecdotally or statistically? I haven't seen any changes over the norm.

If they get accepted, med school admissions is 50x more competitive

@thehappypharmd 5 дней назад

@@forthdimension686 It is more competitive for obvious reasons. Burnout rates are similar.

@johnshamoun 25 дней назад

More schools means more graduates and applicants competing on a limited and consolidated industry and wages of retail pharmacists barely went up by pennies… Welcome to Corporate America!

The numbers have stabilized to a new low, but your market demand point is true.

There is no future for this profession, it's a sinking ship

@thehappypharmd 5 дней назад

I get where you’re coming from because I thought the same, but my clients and I disagree. There are shiny examples of new career paths and fun jobs. The vast majority of jobs right now, though, are in trouble.

There is a shortage for a reason.(shitty jobs)...pharmacists are walking out, like CVS pharmacists in Kansas City last year. Corporations screw you over and they play hard ball - they don't play softball. You are absolutely right. Corps force you to come up with the lack of profits by leaning on you. There may be a few great jobs, perhaps in clinical. Academia is lying. They also want to call a 6 year degree a "Doctor of Pharmacy" ...which is total B.S. (pure manipulation) just to sell degrees to the naive. Then they graduate and think they're really a "doctor" ..haha... I'm not gonna try and fix the system, I'm off to better and bigger things. Go to med school or get out of health care.
