They discuss the various organizational settings a Pharmacist can work in (retail, hospital, research, etc) as well as the various ‘specialties’ that have emerged in the field. Judy also talks about the diverse demands of the job; seeing customers, dealing with their doctors, working insurance issues and occasionally referring customers to the ER. She shares insights into how technology has helped the pharmacist manage the data and detail of the field; especially given the number of new drugs for conditions and ailments that, until now, hadn’t been treated with pharmaceuticals. This is a glimpse into a career as a Pharmacist and the various paths and specialties one could pursue in that line of work.
