Pharmacologist by Nicole A Henry https://padlet.com/nah4510/qca305gozvuq en-us 2017-05-15 18:39:16 UTC 2017-05-15 18:49:04 UTC hello@padlet.com What is It? nah4510 https://padlet.com/nah4510/qca305gozvuq/wish/171926229 A pharmacologist is a scientist who does research and experiments testing drugs and studying the effects on animals and humans. As a pharmacologist, you will be a type of medical scientist. You will be working in labs testing the effects drugs have on the human body, how drugs are absorbed into the human body, and how they medically react in the body. You may also choose to study how drugs work in animals instead. You work with drugs and change ingredients, add or subtract ingredients, and alter certain medications until you reach the desired effect. The hours are rarely consistent each day. The amount of time you work is dependent on the experiment or work you are doing and the time you need to monitor and manage it. ]]> 2017-05-15 18:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nah4510/qca305gozvuq/wish/171926229 What Education is Required? nah4510 https://padlet.com/nah4510/qca305gozvuq/wish/171926408 To become a pharmacologist, you must take classes in toxicology, chemistry, biology, pharmacology, and microbiology. You must have an advanced degree such as a Ph.D or a Pharm.D in order to find a job. You should also gain hands on training whether this is through lab or clinical experiences, or certain internships. Also, if you are planning to administer drugs to humans or interacting with patients you must meet the qualifications of a licensed M.D which requires graduating from an accredited medical school, you must pass licensing exams, and you must complete residency requirements.

This job requires a little bit of both working in a field and an office depending on what stage of drug development you primarily involve yourself in. You will be doing a combination of research and application. Research in drug development and application of drugs during clinical trial.

He obtained his medical doctorate in 1866 with a thesis on the measurement of chloroform in blood. He worked at Dorpat and became a professor of pharmacology at the University of Strassburg. He studied the pharmacology of chloroform with chloral hydrate. He showed that muscarine evoked the same effect on the heart as electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve in 1869, and in 1885 he introduced urethane as a hypnotic. His findings lead to many other discoveries within pharmacology and he trained many men who became professors and who also had a major impact in pharmacology.]]> 2017-05-15 18:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nah4510/qca305gozvuq/wish/171926814 Colleges? nah4510 https://padlet.com/nah4510/qca305gozvuq/wish/171926911 1.

However, from the beginning to the end of their career, a Pharmacologist's salary can range anywhere from $36,241 to $123,932 per year. ]]> 2017-05-15 18:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nah4510/qca305gozvuq/wish/171927132 Why Did I Choose It? nah4510 https://padlet.com/nah4510/qca305gozvuq/wish/171927211 I am interested in this field because I have never been much of a chemistry person, however, working with drugs and testing the effects really interests me. I also think how things affect the human body is really interesting and I would want to learn more.]]> 2017-05-15 18:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/nah4510/qca305gozvuq/wish/171927211 3 Positives & 3 Negatives nah4510 https://padlet.com/nah4510/qca305gozvuq/wish/171927315 Positives
- The ability to say you are saving lives on a daily basis by finding new treatments
- Working towards disease eradication and making it more likely on a daily basis 
- Curing previously incurable and life threatening illnesses
which saves lives and makes the world a better place

Negatives
-  The approval process for a drug can be a long and frustrating process that can slow down your work.
- Artificial intelligence will make the job obsolete
-  The rapid evolution of micro organisms necessitating a faster than possible drug creation rate

One thing I believe will change from to when I take part in my occur is the hands on part of the job. Due to the increase and innovations in technology, more/most of the experiments and tests will be online and not conducted within a lab which makes it a lot less fun.
