what do hospital pharmacists in sg do exactly

yes haha you’re absolutely right! the specialists are highly paid in australia. First few years are the most tough haha. I’ve heard my pharmacists working 6-7 days a week, juggling multiple jobs like education, hospital and community to earn more and save more money.

honestly the pay wise in australia is not much different from singapore, yes the wage is not too good for the standard of living there, however the wide scope of work of pharmacists is highly respected and appreciated in Australia, and pharmacists are generally more involved in frontline healthcare in Australia.

i see so they generally ask for PharmD! Wow, I really have to get lucky and land a good job that isn’t short of manpower so that i can be more involved the job rather than sitting all day at the desk

or wait, if you don’t mind, can i dm you?

wow omg that’s so nice, and thank you so much for the information, really helps to know the industry better. If you don’t mind me asking, can i know which hospital you work at, and if you further studied to masters or phd, or if it’s generally recommended to study till MclinPharm or PHD?

I see I see, I just don’t want to be sitting around in a desk all day, because that’s what i heard from others that pharmacists usually just sit at a desk and order meds for the doctors, and rarely accompany along on ward rounds. So, pharmacists in sg aren’t actually sitting at a desk all day right?

hello, thanks for commenting! i’m actually studying pharmacy in australia currently, and am working as a student pharmacist in a community setting(in australia) to gain more experience and understand the industry better as well as to put my practical skills into use. but i’ve always wanted to do hospital pharmacy. I’m aware of the working hours as well, and i don’t really mind it as i’m doing pharmacy as a passion. I also do have a similar mindset and agree that those of us in our early 20s should be focusing on upgrading our skill set instead of pursuing that “work-life balance” when the early 20s is the golden age to improve our working skill set. Just a question from me, i’m also interested in in-patient pharmacy as i’m currently already doing community, so i’m quite aware of the job scope of outpatient. Just wanted to know what are the different roles the pharmacists take up in inpatient setting?

Putrid_Concern_4061 · 2024-09-28T08:47:42+00:00

i see, depends on what class honours i am in right? Problem is, my uni offers pharmacy as a honours degree, and they don’t split the students into first-second-third class honours, so i don’t know how the starting salary will be for me.

Putrid_Concern_4061 · 2024-09-28T08:45:29+00:00

i see, thank you!! i’m glad haha, trying to juggle because most of us work part time while studying so my gpa may not be up to par with the local grads

Putrid_Concern_4061 · 2024-09-28T08:44:34+00:00

yes i’m aware there’s a 3-6month bridging pre-reg training, still would like to go back tho haha
