For all the fellow P1's out there, what is your class schedule like this semester? What classes are you taking and how long are you typically in class each day?

This quarter (yeah only 2 more weeks!) 😛

Physiology I (4 units) meets 4 hours a week plus a 2 hour workshop every other week

Biochemistry (3.5 units) meets 3 hours a weej plus a 2 hour workshop every other week

Pharmaceutics (4 units) meets 3 hours a week plus a 2 1/2 lab each week

Health Care Systems (3 units) Meets 3 hours a week

Intro to Professional Practice (2.5 units) meets 1 hour a week, plus 4 hours of shadow rotation each week

Interdisciplinary Healthcare (0.5 units) meets 1 hour every other week

Next quarter is fairly similar. We're in class on average from 9-3; some days we start earlier for exams. We alternate a late pharmaceutics lab time and on those days we're there until 5. Our shadow rotations go 'till 5 also.

Pharmacy Practice I (3)
Clinical Applications I (1)
Biochemistry (3)
Drug Information Science (3)
Health Care Systems (4)

Some people also have either anatomy or physiology, but I took them last year so I have a bit lighter load I guess.

We are a little more than halfway done with Q1... i think we're finishing week six...

Biopharmaceutics (3hr lecture, 2 hr workshop)= 3.5 units
Biostats (2 hr lecture, 1 hr conference)=2.5 units
Pharmacy Practice (2 hrs lec, 2 hrs workshop, 1 hr conference)= 4 units
Physical Chemistry (3 hrs lec, 3 hrs lab)= 4 units
In addition, most of us are taking 1-2 electives (one unit each), Women's Health, Asian Health, Immunization Clinic, AIDS Health forum, etc. - for a total of 18 units.

Mine is a little strange, im in the accelerated program at a 6 year school.

Pharmaceutics- Pharmaceutics lab - Pharmaceutics lab lecture- 4 credits- class meets 2.4 hours/week, lab is 2 hours, lab lecture is 1 hour.

Pharmacology/Med Chemistry1- 3 credits- 6 hours/week.

Drug Information- 3 credits- 3 hours/week.

Immunology- 3 credits- 3 hours/week.

Economics of Healthcare- 3 credits- 3 hours/week.

Pharmacology/Med Chem 2- 3 credits- 6 hours/week. We just started this week.

Mondays and Fridays are quite nice, I get out at 1. Though I have to work after that 🙁.

[OSURxgirl]

Medicinal Chemistry 4 hrs/week
Biochemistry 4 hrs/wk
Drug Delivery 4 hrs/week
Physiology 5 hrs/week
Pharmacy Practice 4 hr/week
First Year Externship 4 hr/week

I am in class from 7:30 AM until 2:30 PM on MWF. On Thurs, I get done at 9:30. On Tuesday, we have a huge break--we have a few hours of class in the morning and a few in the afternoon...we get done at 4:30.

Something I'm curious about...Do you guys all have two hour exams for almost all of your classes at night?? It really sucks. Our med chem exams are from 7:30-9:30 at night, so when we have exams, we all are at school from 7:30AM to 9:30 PM. Talk about exhausting.

I've never heard of exams at night during pharmacy school. It definitely sounds exhausting! We had all of ours during the 8-10 am block.

 

[pinkyrx]

I'm really glad we don't have exams at night! Ours are typically during the scheduled class period. Some exams take longer than an hour so we have to either meet an hour early or meet during a 2 hour block sometime during the week that we don't otherwise have a class.

 

[dgroulx]

All of our exams are at 7:00pm at night. Our classes are 50 minutes long, which isn't enough time for an exam.

The on-campus students are done with lectures at 1:40pm every day and done with labs around 5:00pm. This gives them some time to study before hand. I'm at a distance site, which means that I don't see lectures until 3 hours later. My first one is at 12:20 and my last one finishes at 5:30pm. My labs are scheduled during the day during the time that my lectures are aired. Generally, I'll get home after 9:00pm on exam days and still have all the lectures to watch for that day. I usually save some for the morning, but I'm always behind and exhausted. Next week I have 2 exams instead of the usually 1. It's Sunday and I'm still behind 3 lectures from last week, though one of them is just an exam review.

 

[dontworry]

My exams are always given during the class time. Most of my classes meet for more than 50 minutes, so test time is not a problem. The only class that meets for 50 minutes is Immunology and the teacher makes the tests appropriate length so that we can finish in the class time.
