Question of the Week: Continuing Education for Pharmacists

Sun, 06 Feb 2005 12:15:46 GMT

This week’s question comes to us from a young pharmacist in Iraq:
Does your national pharmaceutical association conduct and implement continuing education programs in pharmacy practice?
If so, could you relay any related course to the this pharmacist's community?

Your feedback and experience will be helpful to compare national standards…

Question of the Week: Salary of the Pharmacist

Sat, 29 Jan 2005 10:47:29 GMT

Pharmacists salaries is a curious theme worldwide. However, the amount of money that is paid will typically correlate with the cost of living in your country.... so a direct comparison of salaries is unhelpful.

Considering that, this week's question is:

What is a 'typical pharmacist salary' in your country?
AND... What is the 'typical' charge for an apartment's monthly rent? dining out?

Question of the Week: Working Hours and Vacations

Sat, 22 Jan 2005 18:25:49 GMT

How many hours is your typical work day?
What is the standard/typical amount of vacation per year in your country?

Pharmacists from around the globe are welcome to post their comments!
