Is BTEC education beneficial for Pharmacy?

Students interested in Pharmacy
Often pharmacy students choose careers in Biomanufacturing (BMF), and vice versa, as they learn more about the other. Why? Because both Pharmacy and BMF positions are a good fit for people who they love hands-on work, working in teams, solving challenges and making a positive impact in people’s lives. If you intend to go into Pharmacy, it's essential to get some experience in manufacturings, you will have a better idea of multiple career fields, which can help cement in interest in one or the other. These careers are not mutually exclusive, so yes it is a wise move for students to learn BMF.

The Professional Pharmacist
Pharmacy is understanding drugs in-vivo kinetics. BMF is producing and purifying medicine from living cells. BMF gives the professional pharmacist a dramatically richer understanding of the therapeutics and therefore helps them do their job better. Yes without a doubt, a BTEC minor (or even a few classes) would help advance your pharmacy career as a professional.
