Roles and Responsibilities of a Pharmacist

John Williams

Pharmaceuticals and medications are discovered, manufactured, disposed of, used safely and effectively, and regulated by the clinical health science of pharmacy. Primary care needs a clear understanding of medications, their mechanisms of action, side effects, interactions, mobility, and toxicity. It also needs therapeutic expertise and a comprehension of the disease process. Other abilities, some pharmacist specialties, such as clinical pharmacy, require knowledge of the collection and analysis of physical and laboratory data.
