The essay representing Egypt in global competition for IPSF's publication PEN

IPSF, which stands for international pharmaceutical student federation, is the biggest student organization dedicated for pharmacy students, and Egypt is represented as a country there by EPSF. One of the many activities IPSF run is a publication of student powered magazine on topics related to pharmacy, the publication is called PEN, and each country submits to it after a selection process to the essays written within the local federation itself, my essay was selected to represent Egypt internationally.

The essay topic is study and work preparation, or the relation between theory and work. As an Egyptian student, I approach the problem from a local perspective, but also citing sources and peer reviewed papers to synthesize an argument on the current state of pharmacy education in Egypt.
