What EXPERIENCE IS NEED TO BE a pharmacist?

The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for pharmacists.

A license is required in all States and the District of Columbia, as well as in Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In order to obtain a license, pharmacists generally must earn a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree from a college of pharmacy and pass several examinations.

Education and training. Pharmacists who are trained in the United States must earn a Pharm.D. degree from an accredited college or school of pharmacy. The Pharm.D. degree has replaced the Bachelor of Pharmacy degree, which is no longer being awarded. To be admitted to a Pharm.D. program, an applicant must have completed at least 2 years of specific professional study. This requirement generally includes courses in mathematics and natural sciences, such as chemistry, biology, and physics, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences. In addition, most applicants have completed 3 or more years at a college or university before moving on to a Pharm.D. program, although this is not specifically required.

Pharm.D. programs generally take 4 years to complete. The courses offered are designed to teach students about all aspects of drug therapy. In addition, students learn how to communicate with patients and other healthcare providers about drug information and patient care. Students also learn professional ethics, concepts of public health, and business management. In addition to receiving classroom instruction, students in Pharm.D. programs spend time working with licensed pharmacists in a variety of practice settings.

Some Pharm.D. graduates obtain further training through 1-year or 2-year residency programs or fellowships. Pharmacy residencies are postgraduate training programs in pharmacy practice and usually require the completion of a research project. The programs are often mandatory for pharmacists who wish to work in a clinical setting. Pharmacy fellowships are highly individualized programs that are designed to prepare participants to work in a specialized area of pharmacy, such clinical practice or research laboratories. Some pharmacists who own their own pharmacy obtain a master's degree in business administration (MBA). Others may obtain a degree in public administration or public health.

Licensure. A license to practice pharmacy is required in all States and the District of Columbia, as well as in Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. To obtain a license, a prospective pharmacist generally must obtain a Pharm.D. degree from a college of pharmacy that has been approved by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education. After obtaining the Pharm.D. degree, the individual must pass a series of examinations. All States, U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia require the North American Pharmacist Licensure Exam (NAPLEX), which tests pharmacy skills and knowledge. Forty-four States and the District of Columbia also require the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam (MPJE), which tests pharmacy law. Both exams are administered by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). Each of the eight States and territories that do not require the MJPE has its own pharmacy law exam. Besides requiring the NAPLEX and law examination, some States and territories require additional exams that are unique to their jurisdictions. All jurisdictions also require a specified number of hours of experience in a practice setting before a license is awarded. In most jurisdictions, this requirement can be met while obtaining the Pharm.D. In many States, applicants must meet an age requirement before a license can be obtained, and some States require a criminal background check.

All States and U.S. territories except Puerto Rico permit licensure for graduates of foreign pharmacy schools. These individuals must apply for certification from the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee (FPGEC). Once certified, they must pass the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination (FPGEE), Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam, and Test of Spoken English (TSE) exam. Then they must pass all of the exams required by the licensing jurisdiction, such as the NAPLEX and MJPE, and meet the requirements for practical experience. In some States, applicants who graduated from programs accredited by the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs (CCAPP) between 1993 and 2004 are exempt from FPGEC certification and examination requirements.

What gsces do you need to be a pediatritian?

A pediatrician is a doctor. You need to study medicine like any other doctor, so the same GCSEs as any other doctor. Maths, Chemistry, Physics, Biology.. any/all of these are important.

Should you become a vet?

Ok, if you want to become a vet, you need to be able to (honestly) say yes to all of these statements. Be amazingly clever be able to take an insult (or a few) be ok with blood, urine, poo, and other bodily discharge. And finally, be healthy mentally wise (I will tell you more later) Ok, here are the options you need to take (I live in England, I don't know if the same rules apply anywhere else in the world.) At GCSE you should be taking at least 10 subjects, though more is definitely an advantage. These should include all sciences, maths, English and (for some bizarre reason) a foreign language. In terms of grades it is a case of the more A*'s the better!

At A level you are required to take Biology and/or chemistry. To be honest, your best bet is to take both. Most then ask for a science or maths subject for your third choice. In my opinion maths would probably be your best bet as it helps with the trickier aspects of chemistry. Then, you need to go to a vet school, and study for 5 years. Then you are well on your way to becoming a vet! That is just a rough guide, there may be more qualifications you need (It depends which vet school you go to) Now, about taking insults etc. Sometimes you need to realize that there is nothing more that you can do far an animal and that you have to let him or her pass on. This will mean distress from the owner/s and some people will think it is the vets fault for not doing enough. It is not your fault though, so just try to calm them down and keep pandering them, keep saying that you did all that you could. next, the gory stuff. I was at the yard when one of the horses started showing signs of colic. we called the vet and he had to stick his hand up the horses anus to see what was going on. Also, you may be called into Accident and Emergency for a pet, which usually means blood. so you must have a strong stomach! And now, for the final part. I want you to really examine this part more that any part and think to yourself "Is this really what I want to do?" Being a vet can be really rewarding, because you save animals lives. But sometimes, like I said earlier, there is nothing you can do. This means you will have to put down peoples animals that can't be saved. So this means like peoples (Sometimes) only companions, (Cats and dogs) that they have had around for years, YOU have to put them to sleep. and then you have to go and tell them. This can sometimes be mentally unsettling for the vet, and, it has been proved, that people who are in the veterinary profession have the highest suicide rates. It is because vets can get really depressed. I am writing this article not to steer you away from being a vet, but to tell you that it doesn't always have a happy ending.

Thanks for reading this article!
