Frequently asked questions
What does a pharmacist do day-to-day?
Pharmacists review prescriptions for accuracy and therapeutic appropriateness, counsel patients on medication use and potential side effects, manage inventory and compounding, verify insurance coverage, and collaborate with physicians on patient care. They ensure medications are dispensed safely and patients understand how to take their medications correctly.
What certifications and licenses are required?
Pharmacists must hold a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree from an accredited program, pass the NAPLEX (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination), and maintain an active pharmacy license in their state or province. Many roles also require state-specific law exams and continuing education credits annually to maintain licensure.
