I am amazed by all the information I am finding about my career choice to become a pharmacist. I am learning that this will be a career that like a doctor, will always be in demand. I am finding out that since more and more people are getting older and need health care service, that becoming a pharmacist is important part of the health care system. I am finding out also that there are a ton of careers for a pharmacist to have like working in a hospital, retail store, pharmaceutical industry, and sales. I have a lot of different avenues I can chose from once I complete my education.
"Pharmacists use their basic educational backgrounds in a host of federal and
state positions. At the federal level, pharmacists hold staff and supervisory
posts in the United States Public Health Service, the Veterans Administration,
the Food and Drug Administration, and in all branches of the armed services.
Some of these posts provide commissioned officer status; others come under civil
service.
At the state level there are agencies charged with regulating the practice of
pharmacy to preserve and protect the public health. These legal boards governing
pharmacy practice usually have pharmacists employed as full-time executive
officers. Also, one or more inspectors, frequently pharmacists, are employed by
each state pharmacy board. As more state health agencies consolidate their
purchases, a pharmacist is often engaged as a purchaser of medical and
pharmaceutical supplies for the entire state."
