Things to learn before Pharmacy School.

[colinpharmacy]

What should I study or read before I start pharmacy school in the Fall? Other threads I've read just say you'll learn everything when you get there. I am taking easy classes now and have extra time. Is there any book or material I could read to help make things easier when school starts?

Brand generic class for top 200 drugs isn't a bad idea.

Are you a tech? That would be the most helpful thing you could do before pharmacy school IMO.

Learn Spanish or whatever non-English language is useful where you want to work. You're going to learn all you need to know about pharmacy school in pharmacy school. Even if you learn a few basic phrases or some basic medical terms, it will help you much more than any pharmacy knowledge.

Learning medical abbreviations, and medical terms is probably the best thing for you to do, but don't stress yourself out. I don't know where you are going to study pharmacy, but knowing some medical terminology (abbreviations included) will definitely help. Also next best thing you can do is get some pharmacy experience if you haven't already.
