Do Pharmacy students have to pay tuition for the last year since it's all rotations, and in some schools I think 2 weeks preparations for the NAPLEX? If students have to pay, how did the school justify that? Thank you very much!

You still have to pay no matter where you go because you are still a student and the school is still reliable for you. That's just the way things are.

4th year rotations you still have to pay. Even when you do retail and hospital internships over the summer, you still pay them! I know, you are working for someone, yet it's costing you. It's pretty absurd but thats the way it goes! Also, someone once told me having pharmacists at hospital rotations is like heaven for the Physicians, because you do reports and presentations for them, and its free-labor. hahaha

yep, still have to pay. you are getting credits for your work and rotations are required for your degree, so...

That is just the way it is...No way around it so let it go.

The school 'justifies' it by making it a required part of the curriculum. It's no different from Education majors having to pay for their semester/quarter of student teaching.... except that the teacher isn't getting a doctorate elvel degree and looking at a $100K+ annual salary.
