One-Way Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Out of curiousity, would someone who is interested in becoming a Pharmacist have to be extremely well on subjects such as Math & Chemistry? Can those who are not exactly perfect in those subjects, acheive their dream of becoming a Pharmacist? I myself am interested in this field, but am not exactly great at those subjects. As far as I'm aware, Pharamacy focuses on such subjects. Can someone please help me out with some answers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swami81 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 One doesn't have to be extremely well in Math and Chemistry to become a Pharmacist. I would say that being good (not necessarily perfect) in Biology and Chemistry would help more as most of the courses in Pharmacy like Pharmacology, Cognosy, medicinal chemistry and Phamaceutical microbiology/biochem are based on fundamentals from Biology and Chemistry. Yes, while doing Pharmaceutical calculations your Math is going to help you but don't worry...you are not going to solve complex problems in Trignometry or Algebra!!

One-Way Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 So would you say, if I'm not really good in those subjects, I can learn? People tell me you have to know it and be good at it, or you'll suffer. But if I put in work and try, I can still succeed, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swami81 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Yes.. if you put in good effort, you will definitely succeed. Don't worry..you will have enough time to learn your subjects while you are at Pharmacy school. If you have the desire to become a Pharmacist, just pursue it...believe me, it is not going to be as hard as you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
