We are getting irrevelant stuff if you ask me, I dont really understand where ph and buffers comes into pharmacy or mass spectroscopy  |
Giggsy, there is a method to the madness. It will most likely come into play in pharmaceutics/pharmaceutical lab work/biochemistry (e.g. acid-base balance such as metabolic/respiratory acidosis or alkalosis). Math, obviously in calculations. As with every course, you must learn the theory behind what you do. Will you actually use it? Well, that's a different story. It's usually the same with registration exams. Someone on this forum asked a question about a dilution factor, great trivia and good exam question, but useless in real world. You will most likely learn the most from experiential training when you get it vs. didactic lectures. Chances are you will forget most of this once you pass your tests.
