can istudy pharmacy,and am not good in science and calculation. plz how psb is this?

Answer 1

You can study, but it is unlikely that you can become a pharmacist.

Answer 2

i think people are being a bit too harsh on you. i have three important questions for you. (1) how old are you? (2) why do you want to be a pharmacist? and (3) how well are you doing when it comes to grades/job/sports/extracurricular activities?

i absolutely hated sciences in high school and i only tolerated most of them as i went through undergrad. nonetheless, i don't like it when students say they don't like science. the material is so different between chemistry, physics, biology, botany, anatomy/physiology, geology, astronomy etc. so most people can find something in the science fields that interests them. now if you hate the human body (anatomy and physiology) then you might have a problem, but most high school students don't have access to a good anatomy and physiology class so it would be difficult to know if one would like a&p or not. trust me, if you ask pharmacists even a basic chemistry, physics, or biology question, about 95 out of 100 would not be able to anwer it.

calculations are also over-emphasized in the pharmacy profession. it is true that pharmacists calculate quite a bit but these are very basic calculations that most middle school kids can do. the difficult (and fascinating) part is the reason why you have to calculate something and how you use the answer to improve patients' lives. the conceptual knowledge is far more important than the calculation itself.

the third question simply points out that undergrad takes a lot of commitment so if you can manage your high school years with maturity then undergrad is easily do-able and if you can do that then grad school/professional school is also do-able.

i'm hoping that since you are asking this question, something about the human body or how medicine can cure, prevent, and or lessen the severity of a disease or condition sparks an interests in you. if so then you should not let your current disinterest in sciences and calculations hold you back from something that may (or may not) be of interest to you. it may not seem like it but you have plenty of time to decide what career path you want to follow (i changed mine about 6 times throughout undergrad alone). as you move through your undergrad career it will become blatantly obvious to you if you have the mindset and are able to handle the workload of a pre-pharm, pre-med, pre-dent, or pre-vet student (most of the undergrad classes are the same for all of these professions). good luck in whatever you do!!!

Answer 3

well i am 16 years old, and all of this information is from my own knowledge so i might miss a few details, but---

u will need to take several biology classes, physics, Chemistry (DEFINITELY), mostly organic, and u have to have excellant scores in all of ur math classes. Studying pharmacology requires knowledge of all signla transduction pathways in the body, how they function, how they interact with ur nervous system, blood thermodynamics, basically the entire human body AND how drugs affect that physiology and which drug is most preferred. Also, u would need to be able to distinguish prescriptions in terms of which drug combinations are lethal or non lethal, u need people skills as a pharmacist, and so on...i DO NOT reccommend this profession if ua re not good in science. Personally im a major med and bio buff and im definitely going into the career of medicine, but i wish u all the best of luck

Answer 4

I highly doubt it. When I was in pharmacy school, the first couple of years consisited of nothing but calculations, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry (in 3 parts), anatomy, physiology, etc. In other words, when you weren't doing calculations, you were doing science. If you hunker down and really put the effort in, you could probably do it. Depends on how bad you are at science and calculation.

Answer 5

- Your logic is called "begging the question", where you support your premise with a presumption that the conclusion is true. The clue is all the "if"s in your premise. Nothing says the ontological arguments are valid, nothing suggests that a god must be "eternal, beyond time", nothing suggests that a none-eternal god "doesn't exist". Nothing validates that the universe has a cause from "outside time or beyond it". And even if all of those fallacies are set aside, nothing confirms that such a being created the universe. There are may better explanations than a god for the universe. And I don't need proof to know that a fallacious argument is invalid. Nor do I have a burden of proof against an invalid argument, the fallacies speak for themselves.

Answer 6

Science and calculations pretty much makes up the whole pharmacy curriculum so...if you're not good at either one you have two choices. Either really crack down and study hard and get good at them or pick something else.

Answer 7

If you're not good at science and calculation you're not going to be good at pharmacy - choose something else.

Answer 8

Choose another field. Science, chemistry specifically, and math are THE two major areas of study for that field.

Answer 9

Yes you can.

Pharmacy invovles a lot of high level math and science. (more math than science) But if you really have a passion and the determination to do it than you can.

Answer 10

errrr what's the point about doing something you're not good at?

there's nothing worse than being mediocre at what you do.
