I need either zo212 or zo250 for one my pre-reqs for pharmacy school.
has anybody taken zo250 and how was it?
i heard zo212 is very difficult and it's only offered in the summer.

I guess it only matters what you are interested in. 212 is humans and 250 is animals. If you want pharmacy school I would think it would be mostly about human medications, so take 212.

212 was a lot of studying, but it's really helped me with my masters

I didn't take 250, but I've heard it's almost as much work, but not nearly as helpful if you want to do something in the human healthcare field

Take 212, although you might think it's hard, Anatomy and Physiology in Pharm school will be that much harder w/o it.

well.. the thing is that if doin 2 yr pre-reqs for pharmacy school and if i dont get in then i'm gonna finish biochemistry. one of the courses i have to take are zo 250 and was wondering if i should still do 212

^ If you need zo250 and not 212, then take 250.

I graduated from State in '03 and went on to med school. I took zo212 when it was only offered during the summer and can say it didn't help out with med school. Unless, they've really amped it up or it's a cadaver course - it's not going to be that advantageous for future efforts in pharm school.

Having a solid foundation in biochem, genetics, micro - is much more important in my opinion.
