Is it possible to accelerate [finish the course in a shorter amount of time] the course in university, specifically in pharmacy and other related courses?
And, why do first year graduates doing pharm get paid very little?
C'mon it's only four years lol. Usually no for pharmacy, since the units are fixed and are offered once a year.
Click for course map (Note that they "redeveloped" the course this year and the third year/fourth year units are still being finalised).
You might like to read the
credit page.
Students are permitted to enrol in a combination of 1st/2nd year units, or 2nd/3rd year units if they have failed a unit or enrolled with credit. However, 3rd/4th year units cannot be combined due to placements creating unresolvable timetable clashes. 1st/2nd/3rd year units may not be taken in the same year.
If you do MUEP chemistry you can get credit for the first semester of study for two units - those being the two chemistry units. It just means you'll have only two units for semester one of first year. You'd have to do chemistry in sem 2 anyway because they regard CHM1011 and CHM1022 as only worth one semester of pharmacy's chemistry.
They don't get much because they're not fully qualified. Pharm interns still need to be supervised and they're still undergoing training. Like with most jobs, experience influences how much you get paid. There's a leap in pay after the intern year's over (providing you pass the registration exam).
Coz IMO, it's an overrated job (glorified storekeeper).
lol. It's also an overeducated job. Current regulations that say pharmacies may only be owned by a registered pharmacist which keeps community pharmacies from being taken over by supermarkets. This makes it slightly more lucrative than it would be with competition - good for the people, bad for the pharmacists. I'd also like to point out that
this fictional GP would've had to held a accredited pharmacy degree along with a medicine one which was actually my first reason in typing this paragraph.
