Pushing pills behind a
counter may be one’s first inclination of a stereotypical pharmacist. Counseling
patients and consulting with physicians, all while managing staff and checking
prescriptions may be the typical tasks one may count off for a typical
pharmacist. However, the world of pharmacy is more than typing on a keyboard
and talking on the phone all day. There are many careers to explore within the
realm of pharmacy, as I have experience in my premature tenure in pharmacy
school. A pharmacist can work with radioactive material to help doctors
diagnosis diseases, formulate compounds to avoid administration problems, work
with law enforcement to solve criminal cases, and supervise pharmacies for the
Board of Pharmacy, to ensure safe and legal practice. There are many more
occupations a pharmacist can fill, but these were just a few of the exciting
experience pharmacists have the capability of performing. I am excited to learn
more about the options I can take to begin the path to my career in pharmacy.
