Post-graduate studies

In this early phase of my career I could think that some area is my future field to work but what if it’s not what I expect about it?

I’ve got a lot of friends of Pharmacy that already finished their careers and they always said “this is what I will do” … and now they are working in something totally different. They did special post-title courses and they are happily surprised about what they are working in now.

For that reason I think it’s too soon to think about postgraduate courses. But anyway, I have to write here something about it.

Maybe for the same reason I only can think about post-title “diplomas”. Diplomas are flexible, short and specific courses.

I hope to work in clinic or assistance pharmacy area, so I believe that this “little courses” may help a lot because they are related to specific areas and they have flexible times to keep going with your work and personal life, like part-time courses three times a week and online works.

Actually there are diplomas relate with the areas that I’m interested in, like “Management in Assistance Pharmacy” and “Clinic Pharmacy”.

Imagining that I would take one of these courses, I’d do it in Chile because these post-title courses are made by Universidad de Chile, in this faculty. Besides I’m not the kind of person who would leave the country for too long, not even for studies.

Reading about these courses they have interesting subjects like “drug vigilance” and “drug epidemiology” in the Clinic area and “prescription and distribution” in the Assistance area.

Or maybe I will be a Master in Pharmacology or Marketing… who knows?
