My comments on the recent Pharmer news

From NUSPS forum:

i agree with the part about the standards of the overseas pharmacists which we're bringing in. i guess it's probably quite impossible for MOH to bring in pharmacists from UK and US unless they dun mind.. ahem "voluntary work".

I've looked at the comments at the PSS website: http://www.pss.org.sg/main/content/view/553/2/ seems that some of the overseas foreigners are really interested in coming over.

alright, my point is that, yes u can bring in pharmacists to fill up the "holes" temporarily. But on NUS pharmacy side, we should become "school of pharmacy" and increase the intake as this should be the long term solution. While MOH brings in foreign pharmacists, we should bear many different factors in mind, e.g. communication with locals and their skills. most probably they would need to go thru an exam to ensure such skills. communication? i think it's quite hard. e.g. i cannot really imagine an Indian trying to communicate with an old uncle who knows only chinese/dialects. (it's an example, dun say i'm racist or wat) Singapore is an aging population, communication with the elderly is definitely inevitable if they want to practise here.

I've a senior who tried very hard in making pharmacy dept a "school". i think it's time we (those still in NUS) try to continue fighting for it.

Is there some way we're going to collect our opinions here and let us be heard?

=====================================
