So I am new to Pre Pharm. I am in my first semester of Pre Pharm classes. Untill the other day I never knew of all the different roads someone with a PharmD can take after school. I always assumed it was behind a counter at a walgreens or smiths, etc. I knew there were other areas but no one really talks about them here so I never knew how deep it goes. While I was on the Pharmacy page the other day and a lady posted a thread about a day in the life of a nuclear pharmacist. After reading that post I started to do some research on nuclear pharmacy and found a lot of very interesting information. I believe I have now found the road I would like to pursue once I gain my PharmD. My question is this. How many of you Pre Pharm students have thought about this field? Do most of you just look at getting a job with a local (chain or not) pharmacy? It seems that the salary is about the same. I just feel like I would be doing more to help the sick as a nuclear pharmacist then as a community pharmacist. What are your takes on this?
