Pharmacists
Pharmacists are health professionals who practice pharmacy. Pharmacists
typically take an order for medicines from a physician in the form
of a medical prescription and dispense the medication to the patient.
Pharmacists are also often small-business owners,
owning the pharmacy in which they practice. This unique dichotomy
is often the subject of debate within the profession - in part due
to the perception of pharmacists as "common shopkeepers"
by many in the community.
Pharmacists are often, incorrectly, referred to as
"chemists". This term is a historical one, since pharmacists
originally were required to complete an undergraduate degree in
Pharmaceutical Chemistry (PhC) and were known as "Pharmaceutical
Chemists". This is, however, no longer appropriate and may
result in confusion with practitioners of the field of chemistry.
