For pharmacy student/pharmacist, how are students graded on their clerkship (last yr of school)??

Question

I'm a 5th yr or 3rd professional yr student..and I was curious how is students on their clerkships graded? Do we still get a letter grade/pass or fail...would the grades still effect our gpa?? Thanks

Answer 1

It depends on the school. I know of some which do P/F and others do letter grades. My school does letter grades, and they do effect your GPA. However, since the average P-4 GPA is 3.7, most don't object.
