A pharmacist, a chemist, or a druggist, is a healthcare professional who prepares, controls, formulates, preserves, and distributes medicines and advises and guides the public on the correct use of medications to achieve maximum benefit, minimal side effects, and avoid possible problems. Professionals from our Pharmacist cursor pack also serve as primary care providers in the community. Among other licensing requirements, different countries require pharmacists to hold either a Bachelor of Pharmacy, Master of Pharmacy, or Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
