Yesterday we split up into the same three groups to go back to the same site. My group visited the university that the pharmacist taught at. The school was very different from our own and was open air. He explained that the students had to choose between pharmacy practice or pharmacy science as soon as they started pharmacy school. Pharmacy practice is for community and hospital training whereas pharmacy science is for infodustry and drug discovery. He also talked about how the residency program is currently closer to a phd than an american residency program in that it takes 4-5 years and they must complete meaningful research.
We also toured the teaching hospital associated with the university which was established by the 8 th king. He stressed the importance of the health of the people and not the selfishness of profit.
At night we went to cielo sky bar and experienced an amazing view of thailand from the 46th floor! The also had a section of glass floor to walk across and look straight down. It was a little unnerving, but an amazing experience!
