Pharmacy Questions

[benny]

Hello everybody!

I just heard about this forum through YouTube actually...I'm from Canada and was thinking about continuing my education in the UK.

My education:

Bachelor of Science, Double Major in Biology and Anthropology, University of Toronto – Graduated June 2007

I would love to be a pharmacist...I only realized this after graduating unfortunately.

What are my options? What would you advise in my situation?

I am thinking of returning to Canada afterwords, where I would open my own Pharmacy after working at one for a year.

Do you know if any pharmacy school accepts january admission? or spring/summer rather than fall...

Your help is much appreciated

You will need chemistry to get in anywhere.

highschool chemistry? or a university level course?

grade 11 chem - 72
OAC (grade 13) chem - 76
1st year University chem - 50 :S (4-5 years ago...wish i tried!)

what do u think...?

redo the 1st year chem...or take organic chem and ace it...?

is that all they care about...chemistry?

That should do. Here in UK, at least a B grade wanted in A level chemistry (age 18). Met a pre reg the other day who started out as a tech, then determined to become a pharmacist and did chemistry at night school.

Yes it sure did! I'm sure you could fix the video up a little bit and that way recruit more members!

Interesting...the terminology used in the UK is different than in Canada
So university is considered A level...and my grade is a B grade?

So back to my original question:

I'm eager to start ASAP

No. A levels are what you need to get into university. All pharmacy courses start in late september/october.
