Soo... did you guys know that students interested in medical school use an application call AMCAS? it's name is similar to PharmCAS...

...aren't you curious what their AMCAS application looks like? I imagine they wonder the same question about our PharmCAS application.

Yes! Of course we are very curious of what their AMCAS application looks like! I mean, we are pharmacy students, we totally would love to know what's on the medical school application because it totally relates to us.

WHAT is a PHORCAS application? do you have to do it in order to work as a retail pharmacist? I am confused as to what it is... is it like an application medical student do in order to work in a hopsital?

What's the difference between a Pharmacist who finish pharmacy school and a pharmacist who finished pharmacy school and do what ever the PHORCAS set them up to do?

PHORCAS is for pharmacy residencies. If you don't know what a pharmacy residency is then read up on it.

Ohh I see... it's extra education to work in a hospital... and some other 2 areas that are confusing to me. So you can't work in a hospital if you don't do PHORCAS program.

PHORCAS is just the centralized application for residencies...just like PharmCAS for applying to school. To do a residency, you have to match through the program run by ASHP. Here is the residency directory if you want to look at what is offered: http://accred.ashp.org/aps/pages/directory/residencyProgramSearch.aspx
It is a combined work/education experience (you get paid a stipend). Employers say completing a residency gives you '~3 years of professional experience'. It opens up other opportunities..you MAY be able to work in a hospital without it, but it will be harder unless you have a networking connection. You don't really have to do a residency if you want to work in retail.

Mystery solved...typed phorcas apps on youtube--it is IDENTICAL to PharmCAS.
