My mnemonic for conc. gradient since undergrad: OPEx↗
O-smosis
P-umps (Active)
Ex-ocytosis (not related to conc. grad, pero reminder lang na palabas)
If may Osmosis or Active pump sa choices, matic na "low to high" ang answer bec. the rest not mentioned is "high to low"
Goodluck, April 2025 PhLE takers! If may maencounter kayo na hindi niyo alam, 'wag kayo magpanic agad. Skip niyo muna tas balikan niyo afterwards. Don' t forget to pray din before taking the exams :))
BS Pharmacy
- Complex curriculum (Info. overload, non-targeted learning, shortened period of study)
- Tuition fee is sky high
- Included in the Top 10 most difficult board exams (Passing the boards is quite difficult. Passing rate is always rock bottom)
- Some students who graduated BS Pharmacy just use the program as a stepping stone into becoming a professional doctor
Practice of Pharmacy
- Underpaid (most pharmacists are minimum wage earners… salary can’t even support a decent standard of living)
- Undervalued profession (most people in the country view pharmacists a “mere sellers of drugs in the Botikas”)
- License renewal too troublesome (Need for mandatory membership in an APO - both local and national, need to undergo rigorous trainings and seminars just to get enough CPD units)
No wonder na nangyayari 'to because pharmacists in the Philippines are usually degraded + unappreciated + overworked yet underpaid. When will people see our value in the healthcare field, and when will we see the transparency of the pharmacists' leaders na ipinaglalaban tayo?
This was also my mindset during review season :)) Sabi ko kasi na ayaw kong lumabas sa testing site na pinagsisisihan na sana nag-aral pa ako lalo kaya tiis lang muna sa pagbabasa and intindi ng concepts this review season. Everything will be worth it in the end😊
