Metric primarily but it is not uncommon to have conversion exercises.

I work in pharmacy and doctors are supposed to write prescriptions only in metric. They mostly write them in imperial because doctors are dumb as fuck and have shitty handwriting, though. We have to write the metric on the hardcopies of prescriptions because that's what our auditors look for. Fuck doctors.

I work in chemistry and we work in metric. Most stuff is weighed in grams, measured in mL, and temperatures at C

And yet pressure seems to be in PSI. This country is nuts.

I mean it's not that weird in context of the field, but strictly in a lab sense
