Pharmacists Top Most Trusted Professions
A pharmacist is a highly skilled and trusted medication expert. Pharmacists undergo extensive education in order to understand the role that drugs play in different situations. They are familiar with the biochemical make up of drugs and how that impacts their use, side effects, interactions, and implications of effectiveness. Their role revolves around compounding medications, dispensing prescriptions to patients, conducting health screenings, giving immunizations, and advising on the safe use of medicine.
