any magazine reading or websites to help increase your knowledge of pharmacy?

Science section of the NY Times, any of the pharmacy association websites (amcp.org, for example,) alphanet.org, and really important, the website for the school that you're interviewing at. Each school has a characteristic philosophy, curriculum, emphasis, or something that makes it different from the other schools that you are applying to. Also not a bad idea to read up on professors who teach 1st years, as well as looking into the coursework for 3 or 4 years that you will be there. Even websites of big pharma have a thread on 'pharmacists' which give an overview of what they see as the ever-changing role of a pharmacist. Not a bad idea to read those, too.
Also, with all the news about NSAIDs and Cox2s in the news, good to read up on the basics of that, as well. (No need to go into the mechanism of action, but just, in general, what this means for the healthcare industry, as well as the FDA's drug approval process.)
