INTERMEDIATE PHARMACIST - THE TOP CHOICE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
According to estimates, with a population of about 100 million in Vietnam by 2020, the demand for intermediate pharmacists is projected to be 3 pharmacists per 10,000 people. This means approximately 22,000 students will need to be recruited between 2009 and 2020. Specifically, during the 2009–2015 period, the number of recruits must reach up to 14,000 students.
The shortage of intermediate pharmacists in domestic hospitals and pharmaceutical companies has become even more acute as foreign drug production and supply companies establish long-term brand strategies in Vietnam.
At Dong Nam A College, the intermediate pharmacist program will help you understand and effectively apply drug counseling, healthcare management, drug testing, and storage systematically. To pursue a lifelong career in pharmacy, you need to be diligent, patient, responsible, and possess the qualities of a healthcare professional.
