This is for people already in pharmacy schools or pharmacists.
Are there any new pharmacy schools opening up in your state? Are you concerned? What do you think about it?
In New York State, we had University of Buffalo, Albany, Long Island University, and St Johns University. For the most part, we met demand of pharmacists with those few schools. However in the last year, St John Fisher opened and now Touro is about to open another one. It wont be long before we have a surplus (a really serious debate) here. I think NYS can handle the new students from St John Fisher, but not from a 2nd one. Touro opening up would mean three pharmacy schools in New York City graduating an average of 750 pharmacists at least per year!
How about you guys? Is there anyway we can prevent a school from opening?
