2. What Is A Pharmacist?

A pharmacist, sometimes also known as a chemist, is a health professional whose career involves the preparation and dispensing of various medicines prescribed for patients by other health professionals such as doctors. As well as preparing and dispensing a great range of prescribed drugs, pharmacists are also required to be knowledgeable about the medications they provide. Through their jobs, pharmacists can therefore help patients by providing information about their medication. They can also act as a source of advice about the instructions provided by the doctor for the quantity of medication the patients should take and the frequency of dosages, filling in information gaps that the patient may not have thought of at the time of the consultation.

Pharmacists can also provide valuable back-up for patients who are on long-term medication. If a patient is in some doubt about whether the medication is working effectively, a pharmacist can be a helpful point of call to check that the progress the patient is making is satisfactory. In this way pharmacists can help to ease people’s minds and assure them that their medication is having the effect it should, or advise them to see their doctor if this is considered necessary. While a doctor should always be consulted if the patient has serious doubts about the medication, the specialist knowledge of a pharmacist can be reassuring and can sometimes save the time involved in calling a doctor or waiting for a medical consultation.

3. Qualifying As A Pharmacist

There are varying requirements for qualification as a pharmacist in different countries but, in general, anyone wanting to follow pharmacy as a career would be well advised to include chemistry in high school studies. It is then usually necessary to undertake a degree in pharmacy at a university or similar institution. Student pharmacists study such subjects as the chemical, biological and physical sciences as well as other material relating to the practice of pharmacy.

Streams in the pharmaceutical course may include pharmaceutics which is the science of dosage form design, and pharmaceutical biology which includes microbiology, physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology. Other areas of study can include pharmaceutical chemistry which looks at analytical, organic, physical and medicinal chemistry, and pharmacognosy or the study of natural drugs. As the career of a pharmacist is likely to relate to jobs that have a high degree of involvement with issuing prescribed drugs to patients, another study area is pharmacotherapy, or the rational use of medicines, and pharmaceutical practice in which student pharmacists learn the laws that relate to pharmacy and prescriptions. There is often a requirement for internship in pharmacies before the students graduate as pharmacists. Upon graduation they are licensed to hold pharmacists’ jobs in which they will dispense various types of medication.

4. Where Do Pharmacists Work?

While pharmacists have been a vital part of communities for many years, the locations in which they work has changed and expanded. Once you would expect to find a pharmacist working in a drugstore and that is still the case. There are, however, other places where pharmacists can now find jobs, making pharmacy a career that has diverse possibilities and good salary opportunities.
In addition to working in drugstores, pharmacists can have outlets in other retail establishments such as department stores, grocery stores and other general merchandise places. There are also various other areas of the community in which pharmacists can obtain jobs, such as hospitals and health care centers.

Pharmacists can also follow a career path as employees of various government organizations, working in such areas as the regulatory control of medical products and pharmaceuticals. In the marketing industry there are also jobs for pharmacists helping with anything from the discovery of specific drugs to the administration of clinical trials. A pharmacist may often also be involved in packaging design and product marketing. A qualified pharmacist who is interested in passing on knowledge and would like to follow an academic career can also investigate teaching jobs at universities as well as research work in such establishments.
