Career Option: a Pharmacist

A pharmacist is a professional responsible for dispensing medications and handling prescriptions.  The role of the pharmacist is as important as that of any other medical professional.  The relationship that pharmacist's share with their patients is an important part of the care-giving circle. That relationship ensures that patients take their medications as prescribed so they may enjoy healthy lives.

To become a pharmacist, an individual must attend a 4-year bachelors program and complete a set of additional Written Confirmation to in order to receive their Doctorate in Pharmacology or PharmD degree.  An individual who desires to become a pharmacist must be strong in science and math as a lot of their certification is based on a study of chemistry, pharmacology, anatomy and physiology.  Although pharmacists do not operate on patients, they must have an understanding about how the body works and the basic chemical make-up of the human body.

Pharmacists are board certified practitioners who must pass a rigorous licensing examination in order to be able to practice.  Once these requirements have been met, a pharmacist begins practicing their profession.  Pharmacists are licensed by the state in which they do business, but are subject to both state and federal laws with respect to the dispensing medication, which is why they require Embassy attestation.

If you are planning a career as a pharmacist, you should spend some time at your local pharmacy and get a feel for the type of work that goes on from day to day.  If you are old enough, you may consider a summer position in the pharmacy as a way to gain a first-had perspective.  You should also take care to make sure that your chemistry and mathematical skills are very good and so is your knowledge about special documents like Form-41, Pharma regulatory Affairs,FSSAI, etc.
