Pharmacist
Duties and Responsibilities:
They compound
and/or prepare prescriptions that are written.
Pharmacists review the prescriptions to validate their accuracy and then
prepare them. Preparing the medication may involve weighing, measuring, and
mixing drugs. Once they are prepared
they dispense them to the customers and patients. They answer any questions the
customer and patient may have on the drugs they are taking or drugs that are
sold over the counter Pharmacist may also be responsible for taking inventory on
the drugs on the shelves and order any drugs they are low on. Pharmacists may
work in hospitals, clinics, health departments, universities, and grocery,
drug, and discount stores.
Education:
Students who
would like to become a pharmacist should take the most challenging high school
courses (including AP or IB) available in science, math, and English. All pharmacists
must graduate from a college of pharmacy. Some pharmacy schools require you to
have two years of pre-pharmacy education while other colleges admit students
right after high school. It usually
takes six years to earn a pharmacy degree and six to earn a doctor of pharmacy
degree.
I don't think I would like to become a pharmacist because it really doesn't interest me and it seems too boring for me.
