I know there's probably a thread out there about this, but I'll try to be more specific. I currently work in retail as an intern and was offered a position to work in a hospital inpatient pharmacy.
My questions are:
1) pros and cos in working in a hospital compared to retail
2) what are the career advacements in both settings?
3) Does inpatient pharmacy offer an opportunity to work with patients, ie, maybe not directly, but follow up closely with doctors to plan a drug regimen for patients?
4) Does an internship in a hospital help to get a clinical position in a hospital without doing residency? (I heard because of the demand, some hospitals don't require residency although they prefer it; at least here in CA)
Thanks in advance!
