What's my best chances of becoming a clinical pharmacist and how?

7

Hi, I have MSc in Physician Associate Studies but due to the ongoing lack of jobs crisis I am left unemployed. I was wondering if it is possible for me to become a clinical pharmacist instead without doing the whole 4 years of MPharm. Is there another pathway or masters degree? I also have a BSc in Biomedical Sciences. Please advice.

MPharm is an accredited professional degree - there is no shorter 'graduate entry' and you would still need to do the whole 4-year course to qualify as a Pharmacist. However, you may be able to get involved in clinical research in this area without an MPharm - ie. MSc in Pharmacology | University of Oxford or Clinical Pharmacology | King's College London

Ah, I was trying to get away from research roles and wanted a patient-focused role. Thank you anyways.
