Clinical pharmacy is actually a professional term rather than an occupational term. The pharmacopoeia, cra, and crc mentioned before are all about specific professional positions, so I will talk about clinical pharmacy in conjunction with optional occupations.
How to choose the development direction of clinical pharmacy, senior students provide you with three ideas:
First, go to graduate school. Clinical pharmacy, whether you go to the clinical pharmacy department of a hospital or do CRA in the future, a master's degree is a basic requirement. Especially if you plan to go to a tertiary hospital or a foreign company, academic qualifications are really important. For the postgraduate entrance examination, you can choose clinical medicine, or of course you can choose other subjects (pharmaceuticals, pharmaceuticals, medicinal chemistry). If you choose other subjects, you will basically do research and development. Don’t discriminate against research and development. Research and development is now more and more valued by enterprises. A leading company The R&D salary has also been raised to 9,000.
Second, clinical pharmacy room of a tertiary hospital. The clinical pharmacy department has only been developed in recent years. In the past few years, it was basically a decoration, and the doctors were not interested in it. Things are getting better now, especially in tertiary hospitals, where clinical pharmacists really participate in clinical drug administration. But county-level hospitals are still the same as before. Although some hospitals also have clinical pharmacists, they basically just sit there and read prescriptions, which is very boring.
Let’s talk about how to prepare for recruitment in a tertiary hospital. Generally, there is a written test for recruitment in tertiary hospitals. Unless candidates are admitted through direct interviews for PhDs, a written test is still required for master's degrees. How to prepare for the written test? Generally, the written examination tests professional knowledge, and almost all required courses in your university will be tested. Clinical Pharmacy will be tested on one paper, just like other secondary disciplines, so it is impossible to only test the knowledge points of clinical pharmacy. It is recommended that everyone prepare for the written test in advance. You see how others prepare for the civil service examination, and you should prepare with the same enthusiasm. Seniors generally recommend that everyone read the Junior Pharmacist Examination Book. This book is a must-have for the junior professional title exam. Many hospitals basically take the test on this, but there are also perverted hospitals that will test your pharmacy chemistry and drug scores.
Only those who rank among the top three in the written test will have the chance to be interviewed, and hospital interviews are also very particular. Interviews at tertiary hospitals usually ask very professional questions. Three professional knowledge questions? One public knowledge question. The so-called public knowledge is, for example, asking you that the doctor-patient relationship is currently tense. What are your views and solutions? It's a question similar to this. The written examination and interview each account for 50%. The first ranked candidate will be hired, followed by the political review and physical examination.
Three, cra crc. Yes, after studying clinical pharmacy, you can go to the pharmacy department of a hospital, or you can also go to an enterprise. Currently, it is closer to clinical pharmacy and the best job. It is probably CRA. The HR recruiters also particularly like students majoring in clinical pharmacy. After all, CRA mainly does It is a clinical trial, and the fit is relatively high.
When fresh graduates are interviewed by CRA, HR generally won’t ask very professional questions because they know that you just graduated and don’t understand anything. Of course, you'd better know about the relevant work content of CRA. If HR really asks questions, you will definitely stand out if you can answer them easily. For details, refer to the article I wrote the day before yesterday: What you need to know about CRA work content during the CRA interview.
Yes, HR usually only asks some very simple questions, such as your experience in college, the biggest event you organized, and the most fulfilling thing you did. HR asks these questions to test your organizational and problem-solving abilities on the one hand, and on the other hand to test your expression and communication skills, whether you talk and laugh happily, answer questions fluently, and are logical and thoughtful.
When the interview is over, HR will tell you to wait for notification. If you pass the interview, you still need to interview with the regional manager and general manager. The questions are similar, and the main purpose is to test your language expression ability and thinking. ability.
Fourth, of course there is R&D, and drug agents are available, but it is not recommended. R&D for undergraduates is just a hands-on job, which is not interesting. Besides, if you are working on clinical medicine, your main direction is clinical use, so you must do scientific research. Not as good as other majors. You can do it as a drug agent, but it’s not impossible. It depends on the individual. You must have a strong heart. Yesterday, a girl sent me a private message. On her first day as a drug agent, I stood outside the doctor’s office and waited for 2 hours, crying. .
