PHARMACY AS A HEALTH PROFESSION

Contrary to popular belief, pharmacy is not limited to counting and dispensing pills.

Phar­macy is a rewarding profession in the health care system that involves working closely with doctors and patients. No matter what health field you step into, there will always be a need for pharmacists. They provide their expertise on the composition, use, and manufacturing of a drug, as well as its physiological and chemi­cal interactions. Pharmacy offers flexible work schedules, a broad spectrum of opportunities and direct patient contact.

Pharmacy is the health profession that links the health sciences with the chemi­cal sciences, and it is charged with ensuring the safe use of medication. The scope of pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such as compounding and dis­pensing medications on the orders of physicians, and it also includes more modern services related to patient care, including clinical services, reviewing medications for safety and efficacy, and providing drug information. Pharmacists, therefore, are experts in drug therapy and are the primary health professionals who optimizemedication use to provide patients with positive health outcomes.

What are the disciplines? The field of Pharmacy can generally be divided into three primary disciplines: Pharmaceutics, Medical Chemistry and Pharmacognosy, Pharmacy practice.

There are various specialties of pharmacy practice. Specialization in pharmacy practice is typically based on the place of practice or practice roles including: com­munity, hospital, clinical pharmacy, consultant, drug information, industry.

Other specializations in pharmacy practice recognized by the Board of Phar­maceutical Specialties include: cardiovascular, infectious disease, oncology, phar­macotherapy, nuclear, nutrition, and psychiatry.
