Pharmacy career and education?

Question

OK, look.
I've discovered that I actually like certain aspects of chemistry. +
I'm pretty good at Math. Given +
I'm taking microbiology, and I'm beginning to feel like it's going to be dreadful. Very -
Probably because I'm rushing certain courses like this one and anatomy, physiology,like those, while TAKING Bio 1 simultaneously, not HAVE TAKEN Bio 1 b/c I've decided my mind up in the spring semester to take pre-pharm courses, and our school doesn't offer Org Chem 1 or Phy 1 classes like those in the spring. So I thought finishing up available Bio classes will decrease the pressure for next fall.
Conclusion is I THINK I like Chemistry, Math, but NOT Biology. I know they're somewhat interconnected, but in some aspects they're different. So would that preference be detrimental in the possible future pharmacy curriculum in the actual Pharm school?
What do you guys think?

Do you guys think I'm not liking Microbio b/c I'm not well-prepared for that class yet? I mean if I understand,

Do you guys think I'm not liking Microbio b/c I'm not well-prepared for that class yet? I mean if I understand, I think I won't have as much difficulty as I'm having right now.

Answer 1

As long as you can understand it and tolerate it enough to get a decent grade, you'll be ok.

Pharm school has both. Bio and Chem are both important and you will be seeing those subjects again. My wife preferred Bio over Chem, but that didn't stop her from being willing to struggle more in the Chem classes to get the grades she needed both in undergrad and in pharm school.

You're not going to like everything. As long as that dislike doesn't stop you from getting the grades you need and learning what you need to, it doesn't matter.

It's like a job. Very few people love every aspect of their job. Even if there are some dislikes, it doesn't mean you should quit.

Answer 2

The real question is what do you think of Bio-Chemistry. Because that course is what Pharmacy is based on. Bio-Chemistry is the study of the chemical processes of the human body. You need to have a good understanding of both biology and chemistry.

Answer 3

It's all both aspects of the sciences. You have to understand why and how these chemicals affect our bodies. I've been working in the pharmacy for 6 years (as a tech) and we all do calculations but you have to know biological effects, and how to explain those to your patient.
