The futur of pharmacy?


Recommended Posts

So i keep seeing all these US forums talking about how pharmacy is awful now, how you cannot find jobs, pay decreasing , etc etc and telling people not to go there. I was wondering how the situation is here in quebec? Can i find a job as a pharmacist in montreal? Im hesitating to apply to pharmacy at udem.

I don't know how it is right now but what I'm pretty sure of is that Montreal, QC isn't in the US.

oh sorry my post wasnt precise enough. It wasnt just the us, if i search up reviews and advices about that profession, both in the us and especially in english canada (ontario, alberta, british columbia) they advise against becoming a pharmacist. i was wondering how it is here in quebec, especially montreal

It's difficult to compare the situation in the US with Quebec since it is less regulated than Quebec Laws and Pharmacy Board of Practice. For Montreal, you can't predict what will happen in 4 years, but the current situation is that pharmacists are in demand in Montreal and greater area (Laval, Rive-Sud, Rive-Nord), it's pretty easy to find a job as a community pharmacist and hospital pharmacists are in demand (cause not a lot of people are doing their masters).

oh thank you, thats the information i couldnt find nowhere on the internet! I was just scared that the market was oversaturated with no demand.

@meromelo, je lis tellement souvent que le marché de la pharmacie est super saturé au Canada. Donc selon ce que tu écris, dans la grande région de Montréal il y a quand même des emplois?... Les gradués trouvent quelquechose à temps plein ou proche temps plein? merci!!

Il y a beaucoup d'emploi mais la vaste majorité sont a temps partiel. Trouver un job a temps plein c'est vraiment difficile (j'ai un ami pharmacien), mais c'est faisable. La plupart des pharmaciens a MTL travaillent a 2 ou meme 3 pharmacies differentes

@Dr. A, merci!! C'est vraiment intéressant d'avoir des infos sur le marché du travail plus local!! 

Mais honnêtement t’inquiète vrmt pas, les pharmaciens réussissent tjrs à faire bcp d’heures même si dans différentes pharmacies au début (selon les pharmaciens que je connais)

Exactement ^^^ 

c’est vrai que ça peut paraître comme too much work aller chercher 2 ou meme 3 emplois différents mais faut juste pas etre lazy et appliquer aux jobs. Tu vas pouvoir remplir ton horaire assez facilement ;)

Comme @Dr. A l'a mentionné, idem je connais très peu de gens qui ont décroché des emplois temps plein directement après avoir gradué SUR L'ÎLE DE MTL. La plupart font 2 à 4 jours dans une pharmacie et travaillent dans une autre pharmacie pour compléter leur semaine/ou font des remplacements.
