First of all, let’s introduce the basic concepts of pharmacy major, which is to cultivate students with basic theories, basic knowledge and experimental skills of pharmaceutical disciplines, and to be able to engage in identification, drug design, general in the fields of drug production, inspection, circulation, use and research and development. A discipline for senior scientific and technical personnel working in pharmaceutical preparations, clinical rational use of drugs, etc.
Whenever pharmacy is mentioned, some people will ask whether it is similar to medicine?
No! I can tell you with absolute certainty that medicine and pharmacy are two separate fields. Medicine is oriented to clinical practice and the operating table, while pharmacy is oriented to laboratories and research and development.
The pharmacy major trains talents to engage in drug research and development, drug activity screening, drug dosage form innovation, drug production, drug quality inspection, drug sales, etc.
To put it simply, talents trained in the pharmacy major can play a role in all aspects, starting from the synthesis of a compound, to the optimization of the compound structure, and finally to large-scale production in the workshop and sales to patients.
Next, let’s talk about what pharmacy majors need to learn during their undergraduate studies?
In terms of basic knowledge, you first need to learn the four majors of chemistry: inorganic chemistry , organic chemistry, analytical chemistry , and physical chemistry; biological knowledge also needs to be learned, such as: biochemistry , molecular biology , cells Biology , etc. In terms of professional knowledge,
requires students to master the professional knowledge, such as pharmacy, pharmacology , toxicology , drug analysis, etc.
Pharmacy majors need to do a lot of experiments during their undergraduate period, firstly to exercise students' hands-on ability, and secondly to improve students' scientific research thinking and pave the way for postgraduate studies. After
, let’s talk about the issue of further education. You readers can feel that the number of people taking the postgraduate entrance examination has been increasing in recent years. Who dares to say that one day “graduate students will be ruined in the street”.
The pharmacy major itself is an advanced subject. If you want to engage in research and development work in depth, further education is inevitable. In recent years, the number of people taking the postgraduate entrance examination has increased, and the difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination has also increased. This is also a challenge for students.
Finally, let’s briefly talk about the employment issue of pharmacy students. The employment rate of pharmacy students can be guaranteed, which means that as long as you work hard to find a job, you will definitely be able to work.
The salary and benefits are difficult to compare with those in the computer, finance and other industries. According to statistics, the monthly salary of pharmacy graduates is approximately RMB 6,000. Pharmacy is not an industry that relies on youth. The longer you have seniority, the higher your income will be. Therefore, there is no need to be too pessimistic about future development.
The above is a basic explanation of the pharmacy major.
Warm reminder: (1) If you want to learn pharmacy well, you must be proficient in chemistry! Therefore, friends who don’t like chemistry should apply with caution! (2) The pharmacy major requires a lot of experiments, including animal experiments (operating mice, toads, rabbits and other animals). If there are friends who cannot overcome their inner fear, they should also apply with caution!
