I chose to do Pharmacist because they can develop new drugs and improve the health of the patients. Pharmacists are able to educate the public in the correct use of medicines and in the maintenance of health. I like helping people and as a pharmacist, you get to work directly with the community, helping people deal with what is often their number one priority, health. I also like a challenge, there’s a constant flow of new information to integrate, such as new medical technology, new drugs and new customers.
Pharmacists in community answer questions about prescription drugs, such as possible adverse reactions or interactions. They provide information about over-the-counter drugs and make recommendations after asking a series of health questions. They advise physicians and other health practitioners on the selection, dosages, interactions, and side effects of medications. They also give advice about durable medical equipment and home health care supplies. Most pharmacists keep confidential computerized records of patients’ drug therapies to ensure that harmful drug interactions do not occur. They frequently teach pharmacy students serving as interns in preparation for graduation and licensure. Pharmacists work at the community pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens. They also work at hospitals and some open up their own pharmacies. Pharmacists usually work in clean, well-lighted, and well-ventilated areas. Many pharmacists spend most of their workday on their feet. When working with sterile or potentially dangerous pharmaceutical products, pharmacists wear gloves and masks and work with other special protective equipment. Many community and hospital pharmacies are open for extended hours or around the clock, so pharmacists may work evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays.
Pharmacists have to know chemistry to know which drugs open which channels in the body. For example, if
