Hey everyone!
I start pharmacy school at wayne state this fall and i’ve been getting a lot of mixed opinions on what to do before i start. Some people have told me to make sure i have a stern foundation in orgo/genchem/biochem or else I will struggle a lot. Other people told me that they re-teach you a lot of this information in a class called pharm-si which is an introductory and over view class of the undergrad classes (from what i could understand)
Do you guys recommend I review anything beforehand? I haven’t taken a chemistry class in 3 years and it was biochem so i honestly forgot everything and can’t even differentiate between functional groups if you ask me right now LOL.
Do i study or just relax?

P.S i know this topic has been talked about on other forums but they’re from 2005-2008 so i couldn’t find any updated ones. Probably because no one is going into this profession but i’m in too deep

No.

Relax.

If you feel you need to study anything, memorize top 300 drugs and work as a tech to get a feel of pharmacy workflow and basic need-to-know functions in a pharmacy (regulations on controlled meds, what meds can be transferred, basic sig code interpretation, etc.).
