Side note: advice is correct, not advices

ditto what drugdoc said.

Having a good grasp of English is a very, very, good start.

Be humble and outgoing. Get a job in a retail and hospital setting. Attend any company outreach events or community events. Be involve politically in the state and federal level concerning pharmacy. Think of pharmacy school not as a school but the start of your professional career!

Congratulations and welcome to the profession! Best of luck.

find a good mentor, get to more students in p2 p3 p4 years, build connections, you may end up working with them in the future, pharmacy is a small world.
shadow pharmacists in different fields, explore all the options, find out what area interests you the most.
if you want to do clinical job in the future, considering residency. to get a residency u need relatively good grades, leadership roles, volunteer services, and all kinds of activities that make you stand out, research, teaching etc.
and have fun!🙂

The thread title has been changed now too.

I advise you not to take PumpkinSmasher too seriously. 😉

Can you explain more about community events? What kind of events are good to take part?

I agree. All in good fun!

To the OP...seek out unique opportunities with your faculty. Hospital and retail internships are a great way to get experience but do not forget to seek out those unique experiences with faculty.

Now let us smash some pumpkins!

Most schools will have students participate in outreach events, e.g. blood pressure screenings, brown bags, glucose screenings, asthma awareness, antibiotic education, poison education, osteoporosis awareness, and etc.

These are great ways to get involved and are usually a fun time. Setting up a brown bag once a month may be something you find enjoyable once you are further along in school.

Does anyone have any specific advice on how to pass/do well in all of your classes? Specific study or time management tips would be appreciated.

Don't cram. If you study everyday, it will stick in your head better and take off some of the pressure before your exams. And go to class. Make friends that don't mind helping you out if you do decide to skip class or you don't understand a concept.

There really is no big secret. Just find the study method that works for you and follow through.
