what does a pharmacist do?

Question

what does a pharmacist do as a job?

Answer 1

Well, I have another profession, but I believe that they:

*count and distrubute pills (prescriptions) to customers at a drug store!

*deal with insurance companies for customers, to see whether they are eligible for discounts and co-pays

*order products to sell at the pharmacy

*stock the shelves with products

answer the phone in their department

*must have good rapport with customers

*know (with college education) medical terminology

*must have extreme capability of concentration b/c when dealing with prescribed drugs, there is NO room for errors! Oh yeah, and they need to know how to count (out pills)! LOL

I hope this answer provides you with some insight as to what Pharmasists do! AND they are probably paid pretty well, I'd guess!
