sis chubs, nagpang abot pla tyo sa USTe  ano mga work ninyo sis if not related sa pharma? and meron ba kayong alam na pharma related pero office based? hehe.. yun kasi sana gusto ko eh

re: FPGEE, alam ko starting this yr, they changed their method na ata.. naging computer based na ulet yung exam.. and yung exam date is april and oct na, if im not mistaken.. dati kasi june at dec. you can checked it out sa site nila sa nabp.. i was supposed to take the exam yrs back unfortunately, denied ang visa so i cant make it  sayang lang lahat ng gastos.. 

hi chinita_eyes, u might want to check out a career as a clinical research associate (cra).  licensed pharmacist rin ako pero yun ang work ko ngayon, mostly office-based sya pero i still visit hospitals now and then, and may travel opportunities, both local and international.  basically you're involved in managing clinical trials. 

if you want you can check out this site for description of a cra: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_research_associate

or this is a sample journal of a cra from my company's website: http://www.quintiles.com/careers/cra-journal/

let me know if you're interested

^OT: What's the usual salary range of CRA?  thanks

[huckleberry]

IP here.  batch 2000---UP

I'm done with FPGEE but stuck with TOEFL-ibt feeling ko tuloy di ako marunong mag-English or is it because I always take TOEFL in the US?  4yrs na akong stay-at-home-mom by choice.  however, I really miss working.

@ monkeybusiness: sorry confidential kasi eh.  pero i was a med rep at gsk before, and my basic pay now is bigger than the one i had in gsk (without incentives).

@ chinita_eyes: can u message me your email add? di pa yata ako pwedeng magsend ng private msgs eh :p

[tata]

Registered pharmacist here graduated year 2006 from UST...currently working in a hospital...

[ella_gurl]

Ano po ba usually ang nagiging work or expected work ng pharmacist? Yung mga nasa drugstores? Or for med research? Med rep? I know someone who's a med rep by profession (di ba malaki na sweldo nito?) pero mas malaki pa yata kita niya sa part time niya (is $200-$400/week considered malaki na for his profession?).

[unochix]

hi sisses,
im a pharmacist also, practicing. sis 3na im interested with your postings re cra, how cld i know more? can you give bracket of your salary range and perks with your company. i'd like to hear also your travel escapades...

Re inquiry on medical representative, most of the basic salary at around 12k then goes beyond if you have pharma experience plus incentives and allowance... feedback from my friends. better try your chances with MNCs such as GSK, Pfizer, MSD, and etc.

I'm a R. Pharmacist...graduated batch 2006 in UST. I'm not practicing my profession. sad to say. But my licensi is in rent..hahaha!! I'm so bad...Bu i do come sa botica..minsan..!!! hahaha!!!

[whitewisher]

@huckleberry, may kilala akong kabatch mo.

ako batch 99- UST, no fpgee, planning to take kaso aral muna ako, give me tips where I should go para marecall ko pinag-aralan ko.

Currently, I work at home. Met a doctor from hawaii and I am fixing/classifying their HMO drugs via remote. Isa lang akong employee niya kaya hindi ko kayo marecommend sa work ko.hehe.

In addition, my friend is using my license pero hindi botica, seller sila ng laboratory machines and  reagents pang laboratory test, med tech yung friend ko. I am not worried kasi  I know na my license is not at risk.

About Quintiles, I know Dr. Hugo Stephenson MD, senior executive, he sent me a book about Strategic Research.

mga sis na pharmacist, saan ba nakakabili ng PIMS? Thanks.

[whitewisher]

MIMS na ngayon wala nang PIMS. Sa National bookstore, marami.

[pomegranate]

^ ah I see, thanks If MIMS Philippines din lang, nag register na lang ako online.

[huckleberry]

whitewisher ano name nun ka-batch ko? baka classmate ko pa sya..

[leannegirl]

kinda sad to hear that most of the pharmacists here are not practicing their profession.
i'm a student pa lang. incoming 2nd year sa UST.
still thinking if i'll pursue until 5th year. bago pa lang kasi yung clin.phar. sa UST eh.
any suggestions about clin phar?

I'm also thinking of getting a master's degree. want to make use of my time kasi after i graduate @ 19 y/o. I just don't know if i'll go for 5th year or get a master's degree na lang.

[Halee]

I love my profession. I love my job. Go Pharmacists!

pharmacist here batch 2004, I have practiced my profession mostly in community pharmacy as a pharmacist and supervisor but it did not workout due to low pay, So now I am a medical coder compare the salary its 3x the pay but its hard to work specially analyzing the diagnosis and the surgery done for US patients.
