Here (USA) the education is great, and you get almost a med school-style education. You learn plenty about counseling of patients and have lots of clinicals. In order to be a clinical pharmacist, you have to do a 2-year residency after your PharmD program (not always required, but they're trying to make it that way) during which you only get paid like 40,000 (after you're done it's like 100,000).





Unfortunately, the respect for clinical Rx is a little lagging for those who practice here. They tell you in school how much you're respected and everything, but people tell me it's really not the case--the doctors tend to ignore what pharmacists say, and the best path to autonomy is to work for the US government.





I don't know how it is in OZ, but that's how it is here.
