CSzGirl said:Most research on development and learning suggest that women are more inclined toward verbal/communication skills, which are absolutely essential to pharmacy practice. (Perhaps even more so than the "hard core" technical knowledge). You can teach someone facts and figures, but there is only so much you can teach a person about communicating - those skills are more inate.
Also, I feel that that fact that there is still such an overwhelming need for pharmacists that there are far fewer barriers to entry into the profession for women than exist in other fields (particularly other science-related fields).

I don't think so. Is it really balancing out now? I believe we are still at around 40:60 (m:f). And every year, more females apply than males.ilovepharmacy said:but the m/f ratio is beginning to even out
