Pharmacy and Computers

I think they just want you to know how to use a computer. You'll have to use computers everyday as a pharmacist, plus you'll have to write papers for school, maybe have to print your professor's notes off their webpage, and perhaps have to do research on the web for looking up different drugs. If you're not confident with a computer then sure, take a computer class. Otherwise don't waste your time.

 

You definitely will be writing papers and researching drugs online throughout pharmacy school, even in the P4 year. I agree that it's probably just saying you need to know how to use a computer and some commonly used programs for college like Word, Excel, Power Point, etc. They should teach you how to properly use the reference websites like PubMed and others that we as pharmacists will have to hit up throughout our careers.
