Hiii!! I am an incoming pharm student, and I wanted to ask what you thought of pharmacy school so far?? How is the workload compared to undergrad? TY in advance <3
Hiii tbh the workload in first year was similar to undergrad. I’m in the UK so I did A-Levels to get into university. First year was to get everyone on the same page, but with added content centred around drugs and OSCE practice. Year 2 has been a larger workload since it is all new.
My advice would be to study and understand the concepts as you go along. Try to read like an article every so often about what is going on in the pharmaceutical world. It might help you develop your interest in different areas of pharmacy, and enlighten you to current issues within it.
I’m really enjoying it. I like learning new clinical and communication skills, and placements have pushed me out of my comfort zone which I really needed. I also love learning about drugs and how they work lol.
Sorry for the long reply, I hope you have a lovely time in your first year, I’m sure you’ll do amazing!
