2 Compare that with the current acceptance rate for medical school, which was approximately 42% for 2017 through 2018. 2ĭuring the 2003 through 2004 application cycle, the average acceptance rate was 34.1%. The average pharmacy school acceptance rate for 2017 through 2018 was 82.7%. Many pharmacy schools are accepting virtually any student just to fill seats in the classroom.We continually see smaller enrollments with students who are less than qualified. My advocacy is not self-serving, but my concern is for the future pharmacists in this profession.
#Cardinal chains level 70 full#
I have a wall full of awards and have had a satisfying career dispensing medications, educating my patients, teaching, and precepting nearly 70 pharmacy students. I am 63 years old and have achieved all that I ever hope to in this amazing profession. Sorry big guys, but a 5-cent an hour raise doesn’t cut it. Every COVID-19 and flu shot administered takes time away from dispensing, leaving the pharmacist and staying further behind. Meanwhile, the rank-and-file grunts seem to be left out…again. CVS reported significant profits at the beginning of November thanks to COVID-19 vaccinations and testing, but only the shareholders are benefiting. I am seeing pharmacists inundated with COVID-19 and flu shot administration with no increase in either help or salary, and these pharmacists are mad as hell and not taking it anymore. Now, however, pharmacists openly and blatantly criticize their managers, their staffing levels, and their salaries. One year ago, my fellow pharmacists would refer to WalMart, Walgreens, and CVS as “Spark,” “Corner,” and “3-Letter,” respectively, to make it more difficult for regional managers to monitor derogatory comments. I am seeing a true revolution in this profession, especially in my observations of chain pharmacists. But if I did have a Twitter account, I’d start the hashtag to the effect of #PharmacistsAreNotScaredAnymore. I don’t have a Twitter account and am clueless about Snapchat.
I use social media infrequently-typically to read posts about pharmacy or my former student’s achievements and to keep up with extended family.
Last month I discussed pizza and the hashtag floating around social media-#PizzaIsNot-Working-that reflects the ways in which management needs to address salaries to help retain pharmacy technicians.
