Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

hi i am a new one in america and have taken regular bioligy in science and i am thinking of becoming a pharmacist. i want to know that i haven't taken any AP courses so if i take it next year would it affect me and which courses should i take next year so i can be good at my choice and which other things should i do to pursue a career in that field. any different exam or something at this level. i am in grade 11

Hi yashpatel,

We have info career info for prospective pharmacists right here! https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... c001.shtml

Note that, at least in the US, becoming a pharmacist requires a doctoral degree after completing an undergraduate (bachelor's) degree. So a good first step might be to figure out what undergraduate major would prepare you to apply to pharmacy programs and be enjoyable for you, and then what high-school classes would prepare you well for that major.

Hope that helps,
Amanda

I AM DOING THE FIRST PART OF MY SCIENCE PROJECT. i WILL BE DOING AN EXPERIMENT/INVENTION IN THE PHARMACY FIELD(ANY IDEAS). i JUST NEED TO INTERVIEW YOU IF THERE ARE ANY NEW PRACTICES BEING DONE IN THE FIELD AND ANY OTHER INFO YOU HAVE AVAILABLE. MY REPORT IS DONE,DUE TOM.,JUST NEED TO FILL THIS PART OUT. THANK YOU

Nicole,

I do not believe we have any pharmacists as Experts at Science Buddies. Please see Science Buddies' policy on interviews: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... =35&t=5681 . I would suggest going to your local pharmacy and speaking with a pharmacist there.

Good luck!
