A pharmacist is a licensed clinical professional who dispenses medications, reviews prescriptions for safety and interactions, and advises patients and physicians on optimal drug therapy in retail, hospital, or clinical settings. Key responsibilities include medication therapy management, applying deep clinical pharmacology knowledge, and direct patient counseling on dosing and side effects, all while ensuring regulatory compliance with state and federal drug laws. The role requires a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree and state licensure, and pharmacists rely on pharmacy management software to process orders and monitor for interactions.
