Pharmacists compound and dispense drugs and medicines prescribed by physicians and dentists and other authorized persons. They advise the public and physicians on uses and selection of prescription and nonprescription medicines. Pharmacists must understand the use, composition, and effect of drugs. They may be employed by community pharmacies, clinics, nursing homes, hospitals, or government services. They also may conduct health and wellness screenings, provide immunizations, oversee the medications given to patients, and provide advice on healthy lifestyles. Pharmacists employed in retail stores and hospitals may be responsible for managing and supervising employees in the pharmacy.
