If I completed B. Pharm. Is there possible to do with one year to MBBS ?

[fedtheend]

I am 46. if I took a 4 year course to get my undergrad degree i would be 50 then another 7 years to get the pharm degree. do they hire 57 year old pharmacists? or could you go straight to the 7 year degree program without an undergrad degree?
