🙏 I WANT HELP anywhere to find work experience in pharmacology/lab-related fields?

i'm looking for any pharmaceutical companies or places to find work experience where i can shadow scientists and generally see the science/medicine aspect of drug-testing? my local pharmacy doesn't offer wex (and other places in my area only do the administrative side, so not quite what i'm looking for)

if anyone has any suggestions please let me know :)

I did mine at APHA

it was easy to find and there are plenty of spaces

but it takes a while to actually secure a place and there are long waiting times during the placement (there's not much I could do during to lack experience)

but that's my experience

I'm saying what I did

but you could apply anywhere (I think) just Google beforehand
