What was your most challenging year in pharmacy school and why?

I think this is school dependent. In our old curriculum, it was 3rd. I don't know now

for us, it was P2. No more "building the foundation" kind of medchem/biochem classes. You jump into the real meat of pharmacy stuff, PK, pharmacotherapeutics, pharmacology, ect. People went from weekend partier in P1 to basically no life. PK was especially tough on many of the girls who got into college by memorize their way through their classes... well that doesn't work in PK. Some cried their eyes out because getting C- means you flunk for a year.

Sexist much?

P.S. I'm not usually PC either.

^ not sexist, just stating that we saw girls cry. If there were guys crying, I would say so, but there were none. If there is sexism, then it's the different societal expectations in gender behaviors at play. I had nothing to do with it. Honest. 😛
