In France, these specialization called "Internat de Biologie médicale" are a residency and lasts fours years after the five undergraduate years common to all pharmacists.
Famous quotes containing the word biological:
“I am fifty-two years of age. I am a bishop in the Anglican Church, and a few people might be constrained to say that I was reasonably responsible. In the land of my birth I cannot vote, whereas a young person of eighteen can vote. And why? Because he or she possesses that wonderful biological attribute—a white skin.”
—Desmond Tutu (b. 1931)
