Post 7 Changes to my study programme

 Throughout my career i always criticized the program, chemistry and pharmacy at the university of chile is a very scientific career and closely linked to health, the program tries to mix these two pillars, the first and second years are quite scientific and in the third year the clinical subjects begin, this is the health part, also, there are many administrative subjects in between. Now why i criticized this program, its because a pharmacist from this university can dedicate himself to many areas, can be a scientist with a research, can be a pharmacist in a pharmacy, can be quality control or work in regulatory aspects in the public health institute, can work on doping and drugs, can be a clinical pharmacist, there are many specialized areas that you can choose as a pharmacist so, i think that the program should be oriented to the specialty that you are going to choose to develop in the future, i mean, for example if i want to be a scientist, i should delve deeper into scientific subjects than into administrative ones.

I think its a big mistake to try to know everything, the program should be more specialized than general. Also, when we try to understand everything, the academic load is greater and mental health is worse, we need more years to understeand everything, this is why the average duration of the career is eight years, the formal duration is five and a half years, but believe me nobody finishes in five years.

It is also very frustrating, the teaching methods are not the best because, the professors are not professors, they are academics, scientists who need to teach to finance their research. So i woulf like to be a greate teacher and academic in the future and teaching because i love it and not because i have to.
