Title: Pharmacology how drugs work or techniques in molecular techniques
Post by: Buddyball on June 30, 2014, 01:11:24 am
If i wanted to do post-graduate pharmacy in the future, would a pharmacology major be beneficial in this regard. I can't decide on whether i should do pharmacology how drugs work or techniques in molecular science, and which would suit. if I choose to do techniques in molecular science ( also considering a biochemistry major), i can still do pharmacology, since Human structure and function already covers the pharmacology pre-requisite. But I'm still unsure what would be best to do.

Pharmacology would likely be better. You're expected to wrote learn the scientific names of a bunch of drugs, and learn their mechanisms of action, and be able to describe them. This is basically pre-pharmacy knowledge.
