I would start off looking to become a certified pharmacy technician to expose yourself to the profession and make sure it is a good fit for you.

Heather’s Answer

I would start with getting a job in a pharmacy and getting your pharmacy technician certification. You will need the prerequisites for pharmacy school before you can apply. I would look up some pharmacy schools and see what classes they are requiring. If you can pass organic chemistry, you will likely do well in pharmacy school, in my opinion.

Tiffany’s Answer

If you are in high school or college, go straight to being a pharmacy technician. They pay is low but the experience invaluable to see firsthand what a typical pharmacy job is like. There are lots of different areas of pharmacy you can explore from there once you get your first tech job (retail, hospital, compounding, mail order).

Godfrey’s Answer

It's a good question for sure one must have completed a bachelor degree in pharmacy to be eligible for pharmacy internship.
The best experience for such internship would be to get attached to a drug manufacturing company so that to get the pharmacy industrial experience and also to get attached to County Referral Hospital or a State hospital so that you too can get the Clinical pharmacy experience.
I believe the two attachments will enable one to get the best from pharmacy internship

Kathleen’s Answer

Hi, Amy! Pharmacy is a great career choice. You might look for a Pharmacy that would take a volunteer in some capacity, or start with a Pharmacy Tech course. That would be a great lead in to understanding the career and be a good job while you're continuing your education toward becoming a pharmacist. There will be quite a bit of math and chemistry involved, so if you're good at those, it's likely to be a good fit for you. Best to you in your studies!
